The Greatest Generation

Why is it that reading about my peers always makes me sad?  Are college students my peers anymore?  We're still of the same generation, right?  A snippet from today's Times :

"I'm not really shopping every day online," Ms. Johnson said. "Most of my time online I spend on Facebook."

But time spent "Facebooking" is also prime shopping time for multitasking students. Another U.S.C. student, Margaret Heck, 18, said she usually checked a few online retailers' sites whenever she checked in on Facebook.

Some people spend their college years shopping alone, but some others spend those years studying, work-studying, participating in activities, and eating extended meals at Thorne, all with a really great group of kids.
