Did You Have The Best Summer Ever? Take The Quiz!

Summer is officially over in the southern hemisphere on the account of the lady walking her dog this morning in a jumper.

It is still getting up to 28 degrees today but anything more than a bikini signifies the end. I don’t make the rules. In my eyes, this past summer was a bloody good one. Despite the world going to complete shit, I and everyone around me still seemed to jam pack the warm months with plenty of beach, beers, love, laughs and satisfaction. In case you’re wondering how your summer stacked up, here is a checklist of Yes/No questions by which you may calculate and measure.

4. Did you turn off your phone for a whole day? 

5. Did you ask someone to go on a date? 

6. Did someone ask you to go on a date? 

7. Did you go on said date only for it to not go anywhere, except now you have an extra follower who is always looking at your stories? Weird.

8. Was ‘cyclone swell’ a part of a conversation?

9. Did you go to a mate’s wedding?

38. Did you kiss someone hot? 

39. Did you kiss someone ugly? 

40. Was there a smile planted on your face for no reason at all? 

Now add up your Yes’s and compare the results with the chart below.

30-40: Congratulations! You had the best fucking summer ever! Someone gave you a compliment and you believed it because you have been living in the peak era of your life. Your mates are the best people on the planet and every single beer was worth it. Good luck for the winter because you will probably need it the most. 

20-30:  A couple rainy days, but nothing worth crying over. You still got a tan and kissed someone hot but maybe that hot person turned out to be a dweeb. We live and we learn. 

10-20: I think you forgot to leave the house or if you did, you certainly underestimated the UV rating. 

>10: You just fucked the best season, I don’t really know what to tell you at this point.
