How Independent Are You?

Can you think for yourself, or are you more comfortable with back-up? If you're truly independent, you probably don't need a quiz to confirm that, but go on... take it anyway.

Which college living situation seems more your style?

Living just off campus, and buying or cooking my own food
Living on campus, and paying for my food with a meal card
Whichever one is cheaper

Your roommate (or family) is away, and you've got the entire weekend to yourself. You'll probably:

Spend more time at home than usual. I love having the place to myself.
Like it at first, but then feel like it's way too quiet.
Make tons of plans, and maybe invite someone to sleep over, just so I won't get lonely.

What's your reaction when you hear someone say, "I don't want a relationship right now. I'm happy single."

Liar!
Really? Good for you.
I get that. Being single has a lot going for it.

You need a new car, and your parents refuse to help pay for it. You:

Work as many hours as I possibly can, get a second job? whatever it takes to get the money.
Ask my parents if they'll loan me the money if I promise to pay it back in monthly installments, with interest.
Be the sweetest kid ever for a few weeks, and then ask them again.

Your bike is doing some sort of weird clicking thing on hills. What's up with that?

Let's take a look and see if I can fix it.
My friend will know, she's awesome with bikes.
It's a bummer, that's what's up with that. I'll have to take it to a bike place, I guess.

Your uncle is spending the summer in Sweden and has given you an amazing birthday gift: a plane ticket to visit him in Stockholm. That means you'd be flying internationally... alone. How does that sit with you?

I'm kinda freaked. Maybe I can convince a friend to buy a ticket, too.
That is like my dream come true.
I'm a little nervous that I'll get to the Stockholm Airport and not be able to find him.

You've got a new boyfriend/girlfriend and you're stoked. You want to hang out on Friday night, but they've already made special plans with close friends that don't involve you. You feel:

totally rejected. Why can't they just invite me along?
a little slighted, but I'll get over it as long as he/she shows me extra love on Saturday.
fine. This means I can hang out with my friends without catching flack.

Your friends are all sitting around ranting about how deeply they hate the song that's playing on the radio. You're actually kind of into it. What do you say?

A half-hearted "yeah, it's bad."
Nothing. I'll keep quiet on this one.
"I'm actually kind of into it."

You've got the love angst in a bad way: a crush on a neighbor who's giving you mixed signals. Who do you talk to about it?

Anyone and everyone who will listen. I need all the opinions I can get on this one.
My closest, most trusted advisors.
No one but my journal.
