That is a fun list! Thanks for sharing. I'm anxious to see what my own son's list will be when he graduates college in 2016!!! About #3 on the second list:

3.Peeps are not a candy, they are your friends.

I've always said that...... about the candy! :p

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same."

Beloit College compiles a list of “mindset” factors by graduating class. It's pretty cool to examine (if you are old enough that your frame of reference is much longer).
The lists are pretty extensive. Here’s just a small excerpt for the Class of 2007:
  • Iraq has always been a problem.
  • Paul Newman has always made salad dressing.
  • Bert and Ernie are old enough to be their parents.
  • An automatic is a weapon, not a transmission.
  • There has always been a screening test for AIDS.
  • They have never gotten excited over a telegram, a long distance call, or a fax.
  • Stores have always had scanners at the checkout.
  • Yuppies are almost as old as hippies.
