Results:

Mostly As: You quit being a student back in March

What’s worse: your screen time or your lack of motivation? It’s really hard to tell, but maybe if you take a long enough nap, you’ll wake up in time for the end of quarantine. When it was announced that classes would be pass-fail, you turned your brain off faster than Harvard kicked us off campus. You have yet to make it to any of your classes; you would much rather attend Facebook events like “lie on the floor and listen to melodrama”. You move so little that even your Fitbit can’t tell if you’re awake or not.

Mostly Bs: The boomer turned zoomer

From going to the bathroom without turning your sound off to accidentally turning yourself into a potato, you’ve committed every single Zoom faux pas. It doesn’t matter how many reminders you’re given, you can’t remember to mute yourself. With your devices’ microphones amplifying your background noises, you turn every class into an ASMR video. No one can blame you though because at least you’re trying?

Mostly Cs: The try-hard

The extra freetime in quarantine has fueled you to go full steam ahead. You’ve seen memes about the quarantine struggle, but you can’t relate to any of them. Even being in Pacific Time doesn’t stop you from being the first person to Zoom class. Your friends are disappointed that their summer internships were cancelled, but you planned ahead for this, and two of your three backup internships are remote. Most impressively, you cut yourself bangs — and they look really good.

Mostly Ds: The quaran-schemer

You keep track of your days by counting the number of people you’ve ghosted. Initially you were picky with who you wanted to Netflix and flatten the curve with. But as quarantine drags on, even the section kid who’s trigger-happy for the raise hand function is looking cute. You couldn’t physically go to Rome this spring, but you’ve been making up for it by setting your Tinder location all around the globe. You’re not looking for a soulmate, though — you just realize there will never be another socially acceptable time to hit on someone with “Hey, do you have coronavirus? ‘Cause I can’t stop looking achoo.”
