This is worth your time. See how you do and send it on….
This test is not an easy one. The website reports that college educators average about 55%. The average citizen averages about 49%.
I got 20 out of 33 right
You answered 19 out of 33 correctly — 57.58 %
Holy shit! 8D
You answered 12 out of 33 correctly — 36.36 %
hahaha, that test was ridiculous.
18 out of 33 correctly — 54.55 %
17 out of 33 correctly — 51.52 %
30/33 - 90.91%
21/33 - 63.65%. I feel like an idiot >.>
81.82 %. That’s right.
“You answered 24 out of 33 correctly — 72.73 %”
I don’t know anything about economics :/
“You answered 29 out of 33 correctly — 87.87 %”
Got all but one of the economics ones, but I missed mostly in history and president based ones. I never cared too much for American History, but it was drilled into my head by my father.

Self-Pity
This might be an unwished-for rant, but today I moved all my stuff about a quarter mile. On foot. And yes, some people helped me out of the goodness of their hearts. But it did underline the fact to me that I don’t know many of the people here—or, somewhat worse, they are people I know/recognize who fail to acknowledge my hellos. I know I am painfully shy, but having people to pull me out of my bubble some really helps. My co-researchers are nice and friendly, but they don’t always seem that interested in doing stuff.
And I just realized that this is going to be my first birthday without my close friends and/or family. It seems kind of silly, but knowing that has made me feel all the worse. I never had big plans for my 21st birthday, but I feel sort of bad that I am going to probably spend most of it on my own.
I suppose that this is the culmination of spending the better part of the last week with little to no company and a tiring and stressful day, but it doesn’t stop it from hurting.
