ANSWER KEY:

If you mostly chose…

1) Art Bro/Douche

You’re cool. Or at least you think so. You probably wouldn’t stand out so much at Reed, but at LC, you definitely do. You know all the ‘coolest’ music that’s too underground for Pitchfork, all the cool house parties, esoteric 19th century french novellas, and 1986 underground punk street art. After dismissing this article as pedantic and reductionist, you’ll probably put down this newspaper and pick up your copy of essays by David Foster Wallace or “The Stranger” by Camus.

2) LC Basic

You know who you are. You probably will deny it, that’s ok, we all do. We’re all a bunch of special snowflakes who weren’t really cool in high-school, but we so wanted to be. Go lace up your doc martens and roll up those jeans. You’re not special or unique even tho you think you are, but that’s ok; we can all be special together. Welcome to LC.

3) Hobbit / Patagonia Bros

You’re more interested in talking about scaling that ‘sick climbing up el cap mountains’ than actually climbing it. You don’t wear shoes, showering was so high school, and you’re going for that homeless jesus chic, never mind the fact that your parents helped pay for your 2005 Subaru and the $250,000 your parents are paying for.  

4) D3 Athletic Bros

You didn’t use the normal application process to get into here. You’re kind of the white elephant on campus, you play D3 sports at a school most known for its proximity to a hipster donut shop. You don’t have a favorite Beach House album, Wes Anderson movie, or what nitro cold-brew coffee is. That’s ok.
