Opinion: Generation gap
When I came back to MSUM after a few years off, I expected to feel a disconnect from the younger people in a few of my classes. What I didn’t expect was that I would feel like a geriatric sore thumb.
On the very first day of class, one of my professors made a reference to the worldwide panic leading up to the year 2000. The girl sitting behind me muttered, “Geez, I was, like, 9 when that happened. Like, who remembers stuff from that long ago?”
