This Year's College Freshmen Were in Kindergarten During 9/11, and Have Never Known Life Without "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart"
Beloit College in Wisconsin just released their annual "Mindset List" . . . This year's freshmen were born in 1996, so here are some highlights about their mindset . . .
1. They were just starting kindergarten when 9/11 happened.
2. They've never known life without "The Daily Show With Jon Stewart" . . . he took over the show in 1999, when they were three.
3. They were never seduced into smoking by Joe Camel . . . he was gone by '97.
4. They've never known life without the WNBA . . . it started in 1997.
5. Bill Gates has been the richest man in the U.S. their entire lives.
6. They've never experienced the AIDS crisis . . . the number of cases of Americans dying from AIDS has been going down their entire lives.
7. They have never used Netscape as a web browser.
8. They never had to hide the "Playboy" magazines thanks to a ton of Internet porn.
And Now, Three New Things to Worry About
1. You can suffer from "sleep drunkenness." A new study has found that about one in seven of us suffer from something called "sleep drunkenness" . . . that's where you wake up but you're SO confused you don't know what's going on. It can last for a few minutes, and in extreme cases, you could wind up hurting yourself . . . like if you're in a hotel room, don't know where you're going, and you fall. (CNN)
2. The G-spot doesn't exist. There's always a debate whether women really have a G-SPOT or not . . . and the latest verdict is NO, it's just a myth. Scientists in Italy analyzed 60 years of research and found there's no such thing. They say most women DO have a sensitive area up there, but it's very complex and varies from woman to woman . . . so there's really no way to quickly find it or treat it properly to get a woman aroused.

3. Your tap water is lowering your IQ. It sounds like a conspiracy theory that too much FLUORIDE in the water can lower people's IQs . . . but it just might be real. People in Dedham, Maine just learned they have extremely high levels of fluoride in their tap water . . . and a study out of Harvard in 2012 found that kids in areas with high fluoride in the water have IQs that are about seven points below average.
Three Reasons You're in a Bad Mood This Morning
1. You're not getting enough fruits and vegetables. A recent study found that people who eat seven servings of produce a day tend to be happier, less anxious, and less likely to be depressed.
2. You're dehydrated. A 2012 study found that even being a LITTLE dehydrated can put you in a bad mood. In general, men should get at least 3.7 liters of water a day, and women should get 2.7. And yes, things like coffee and juice DO count.
3. You check Facebook too much. A study this year found that if you're on there constantly, you start realizing it's a HUGE waste of time . . . which makes you feelParents Are Five Times More Likely Than Kids to Cry on the First Day of School
