Are these students college bros or self-destructive masochists?
It’s late. 3:02 a.m. to be exact. You just finished a long pset, and you’re done studying for the night. You decide to reward yourself with some late night Easy Mac. You’re two-and-a-half bowls deep when you start to wonder if instant mac and cheese is just part of the broke college student aesthetic or if this choice is a manifestation of your deep-seated self-hatred.
 
We’ve all been there: Are you living the college lifestyle, or do you just have no self-respect? Take this handy quiz to find out!

Results

Mostly As: You’re just a college student living that #collegelife with some semblance of self-respect! You balance your social and academic obligations the best you can without losing track of your dignity. Well done!

Mostly Bs: You may think you’re just living the college lifestyle, but in actuality you just have no self-respect! On the inside—deep, deep down—you know your favorite hobby is self-destruction. Maybe you’ve come to this realization in the past, but you, being the self-loathing masochist you are, never do anything about it and instead cope with your profound sadness through alcohol-fueled escapism. Woo!

About even: You walk the fine line between college-living and self-hatred! You maintain a mostly healthy lifestyle, but you teeter on the edge of oblivion at times. Just a few more tough experiences would probably be enough to send you into an existential tailspin! You’re a “work hard, play hard” type of person who will occasionally eat food off the floor—but hey, 5-second rule!
