Cosmopolitan USA – June 2017

(Tina Meador) #1

  1. 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

    meeting,

    unfollow her.
