Are you a go-with-the-crowd GIRL?
Girls' Life magazine|October/November 2022
When it comes to being on your own, do you spread those wings? Or are you more likely to follow your crew? Answer these q's for the big reveal.
Are you a go-with-the-crowd GIRL?

1. You have a long weekend off from school, and your BFF is headed hours away to stay in a cabin with her family. How are you going to occupy yourself for three whole days?

A. Beg your dad to drive you to the mountains, then surprise your bestie for a day of hiking + s'mores.

B. Make plans with the nice new girl in your neighborhood. You'll miss your OG, but it's a good chance to bond and maybe even add to your crew.

C. Get a Netflix binge queued up and order your fave Thai takeout. You've been dying for some solo time.

2. The final project for your cooking class: Make a five-course meal. You have the option to work alone or team up with a couple of classmates. What's your pick?

A. Group project, of course. You're definitely going to need a sous chef or two.

B. If one of your pals wants to pair up, fine. But you've watched enough seasons of Top Chef to know what happens to people with weak partners.

C. Work alone, for sure. You have your own ideas (wait until they taste your mushroom risotto!) and want to run with them.

3. At the lunch table, your crew strikes up a convo about the best ways to combat climate change. Your opinion differs from everyone else's so you...

A. Keep quiet. You must be missing something if no one else sees things your way.

B. Say what you think, then answer their Q's so they can see where you're coming from.
