- Your
friend bailed
on boxing
class. You:
a. Blow it off
rather than go
alone—and fake
a limp for the next
week JIC you run
into the instructor.
b. Drag your
ass to class but
pick a bag in a
dimly lit corner
so you can punch
in semiprivate.
c. Run there
with your gloves
around your
neck, Rocky-style,
then challenge
someone to a bur-
pee contest.
Mostly A’s
DANGEROUSLY LOW
Not everyone is naturally confident, and
that’s okay. Your willingness to go along
with the group makes you a total team
player. But just because everyone else
isn’t doing it, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t
be. Try more stuff you’re not so sure about
and you might turn out to be a total boss.
Mostly B’s
AGREEABLY ASSURED
You’ve got chutzpah, but you rarely use it
to your own benefit. Instead, you assert
yourself on behalf of your buds. Props
for choosing the good side, but you may
get branded as a martyr if you keep
selling yourself short. Next time you
have the spotlight, steal a little shine.
Mostly C’s
OFF THE CHARTS
Way to own it—you are definitely your
biggest fan. Just make sure that can-do
’tude doesn’t turn into something ugly.
Thinking highly of yourself is great if you
can still admit to making mistakes. Be
vulnerable sometimes and you’ll get mad
respect for the times you’re really on top.
COSMO QUIZ
- In a work
meeting,
you’re the one:
a. Between the
wall and the water
cooler. If you stay
completely still, no
one will notice you.
b. Quietly circu-
lating a petition
to get an office
matcha machine.
c. At the head of
the table, ready for
curveball questions.
- You’ll pose
for a pic when:
a. You can con-
trol the lighting, fil-
ter, and Facetune....
Otherwise, nope.
b. Your friend
is rejoicing in a day
without zits and
needs a photo
buddy. Gotchu, girl.
c. You see a lens
pointed in your
direction. It’s a
visual world, may as
well get on board.
- You’re on
a road trip and
the designated
DJ’s phone
dies, so you:
a. Claim your
phone battery is on
life support, too, so
your Nickelback
library stays secret.
b. Offer up your
Spotify account and
credit your brother
for sending you all
the bangerz.
c. Grab the aux
cord, press Shuffle,
and cut the AC if
anyone dares to try
to skip a song.
- A former
classmate of
yours is being
a bigot on
Facebook. Any
comment?
a. Nah, you
don’t want any
beef. You’ll just
unfollow her.
b. This time,
yes. She’s always
been prejudiced,
and you’ve been
waiting for the
opportunity to
finally clap back.
c. Hell, yeah—
you give the girl
your go-to: a link
to your Stay Woke
cover photo.
