A question that has haunted me for many a millennium is this: why do I spent 1,2, sometimes 10 hours a day taking an absolutely RIDICULOUS number of BuzzFeed quizzes? Is it because I’m trying to learn more about myself? Do I simply want to reaffirm certain qualities that I see in myself? Or is it a way to avoid the piles of reading I have to do for my public policy class?
Come with me on this journey of self exploration as I analyze the answers to the most recent BuzzFeed quizzes I’ve taken. This is some deep shit.
What an explanation. This quiz makes me feel like I am an important cog in the machine of life. Sometimes I feel lost in this world, unsure of my own significance. This quiz has helped me realize just how much I matter. For the first time in forever (hah), I can finally let my self esteem issues go… the past is in the paaaast. Okay, I’m done, sorry.
It’s the word “iconic” that really brings tears to my eyes. I have always strived to make a lasting impression, to know that I have brightened someone’s day just by letting them bask in my presence. It’s comforting to realize that I am truly the Alpha piece of trash.
I have never been so appalled at the sheer inaccuracy of a BuzzFeed quiz. Not that dinosaurs aren’t super baller, of course, but everyone knows that when I was a kid I wanted to be a cowgirl who was also an astronaut? A space cowgirl, if you will. It’s a sad day when you’re let down by those who you thought knew you best.
The part of this explanation that really gets me is the “obsessed with the past,” since I can still vividly recall the day I punched my fourth grade bully in the nose. The birds were chirping, the children were playing, and Joseph was weeping tears of sorrow and repentance.
YES. You know how every single movie and television show, regardless of genre, likes to really hit the nail on the head of the “love yourself and don’t care about what anybody else thinks!!!” theme? Yeah, screw that. I crave attention and acceptance from other people. It literally fuels my existence.
I probably shouldn’t be so proud of that.
In conclusion, BuzzFeed quizzes are completely pointless and they are my favorite method of distraction ever. Although, one could say, since I’m still in the psychosocial developmental stage of identity versus identity confusion, these quizzes are a way for me to further solidify my own perception of my personality.
Or, you know, maybe I should just do my public policy reading.
