Some people will never know the struggle.
Getting a page on the ole beeper finding a pay phone to call back.
Actually watching events and concerts with your eyes.
Turning 18 and being able to go buy porno mags

None of this is really that groundbreaking.
The rarity of porn before the internet, and ultimate glee of coming across someone's stash is more like it.
And playing outside with friends, having to be creative and finding ways to work out differences is another thing today's generation is lacking.

Paying a greasy hobo to buy you a penthouse
Waiting up all night to tape a song off the radio
Actually being at a place at the time you said you would be there
Remembering phone numbers

Were there phones in the dorm rooms or did you have to use a pay-phone?

Leaving the LSU Game in Austin and getting separated from your friends and having to take a Greyhound Bus back to Baton Rouge Sunday morning.
That kind of shite was VERY common in my parent's day but hardly happens anymore.

I had an FM two way radio in my company truck. We would relay messages over long distances. To speak to someone in Cameron you might have to relay through a boat located near the Athchafalaya to Intracoastal City to Cameron.

Dating was much simpler before the apps over-inflated the self esteem of all women.

Having your car break down 7 miles from the nearest exit. Good times.

If you wanted a phone in your dorm room, you had to pay a phone bill. So there were no phones in dorm rooms.
