Quiz: What the type of magazine you read says about you as a friend

Magazines

Momoka Sasaki/Staff

Magazines were some of the first forms of entertainment. You could get the latest fashion tips right at your doorstep. Or you could figure out what your next garden project would be while waiting at the dentist’s office.

I remember being a little girl wondering why Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie were on every magazine cover leading up to the grocery store checkout. The type of magazine you gravitated toward could also show what kind of friend you are in real life. Take this quiz and find out what magazine you are most like and how it translates to your life relationships!

    1. You are totally a garden magazine: You have a green thumb — count yourself lucky! You are good at growing new things. Just like the relationships in your life, you keep your plants nurtured and healthy. You are a super refreshing person and all about going with the flow!
    2. Fashion magazine: You are a trendsetter — you’re always knowing what’s hot and what’s not before anyone else and letting your friends know what their next purchases should be. People in your life think you’re so fun-loving. The party doesn’t start for anyone until you get there!

    4. Gossip magazine: There’s not much you love more than the latest gossip. But, you also are a great friend for people who need some spontaneity. You’re who they call when they need help being pulled out of a funk.
