I would have been graduating if I didn't take a year off and change my major a million times, so this should apply to me, but most of it doesn't | |

Mach said: jess555ja said: I think it is supposed to be graduating from college Oh...it said starting though I know. I was confused too because I know that this stuff should apply to those born in 85, like the thing about the walkman. Wasn't it introduced in 1985? That first statement doesn't go with the rest of the list | |
