By GILLIAN LELCHUK | February 18, 2016

You’ve settled comfortably in your field of study, but there’s still a voice in your head asking whether you made the right choice. Or you’re a freshman still trying to figure out what to declare. Either way, take this quiz to figure out what you should be studying.

1.  Where do you study most often?

a. Gilman atrium

b. Brody/MSE Library

c. Mudd Hall

d. Your dorm room

2. How often do you spend time with your friends?

a. All the time

b. You go out every weekend

c. You’ll get lunch sometimes

d. Friends?

3. What’s your favorite thing to get from UniMini?

a. Mozz sticks, duh

b. Fries

c. Onion rings

d. Chicken nuggets, a hoagie, and maybe a side if you really need it

4. How did you spend Valentine’s Day?

a. Sitting by the window, watching the cars and the people as they pass

b. Went somewhere exciting

c. Dinner with the S.O.

d. Problem sets on problem sets

5. How often do you procrastinate by taking quizzes like this?

a. A lot

b. Sometimes

c. Every once in awhile

d. You don’t have time to procrastinate

Results:

Mostly a: You should major in Writing Seminars!

You’re artsy and fun, and you love embracing your inner creativity. It’s not easy to be a writer, but you can do your work on your own schedule and spend more time doing other things.

Mostly b: You should major in International Studies!

You’re very worldly and you really like solving people’s problems. You’d love to travel for a job, and this major could help you get there, so it’s time to suffer through all the econ classes.

Mostly c: You should major in Molecular and Cellular Biology!

You are the token pre-med at the table, and you love it. You’ve wanted to be a doctor for as long as you remember, and this is the major that fits most easily with the pre-med requirements.

Mostly d: You should be an engineer!

Any engineering focus will do. It’s a rigorous field of study, but you’re willing to put in the work, and the payoff will be better than anyone trying to be a writer for a living.
