RESULTS
Match your most frequent letter with a January persona:
Mostly A - The Possibly Delusional Overachiever
You're using January like a software update. You've been spotted around campus repeating phrases like "Academic comeback" and "New Year, new me." You've certainly got the new stationary, new goals , and, new ambition! Everyone else is half-asleep but you've already got spring semester figured out. Hopefully it sticks.
Mostly B - The "Trying" Realist
You're giving effort...but also giving "be reasonable." You'll work hard, but you aren't going to pretend a few fireworks and a ball-drop have changed your entire outlook on life. While the rest of us binged TV shows and slept till noon, you had early morning shifts, or a schedule that closely resembled a functioning adult's over break. Your attitude is rooted in balance.
Mostly C - The Cozy Gremlin
January? Never heard of her. Your priorities consist of warmth, comfort and, emotional stability. You thrive in blankets and soft lighting. School? Sure. After a snack though. People may underestimate your January power but, little do they know, you're still meeting all your deadlines without sacrificing your social life.
Mostly D - The January Ghost
You're physically present but spiritually still on break. You also were probably in denial about the holidays ending right up until Sunday the 4th, which let you enjoy your 16 day respite to the fullest. Despite your excessive use of caffeine, all that's keeping you going now is counting down the days till the weekend and February Break. You're doing your best which, frankly, is heroic.
Whatever mood you got, don't let January defeat you!
