Ahh, growing up. College was exhilarating, fun, scary, awkward, challenging, boring, amazing, and was over before you knew it. We all had a unique story to tell — see if we can guess yours!

Can We Guess Your Coming-Of-Age Story?

Quiz: Can We Guess Your Coming-Of-Age Story?

You came into college eager and innocent. You wanted to fit in, but you weren’t into sports or clubs. But then, sometime during summer before sophomore year, your life changed forever when you discovered the sticky icky. Suddenly, everything was magical, and you couldn’t go anywhere or do anything without a little puff-puff beforehand. Somehow, your grades didn’t suffer — you were still a functional student, and you felt wise beyond your years. And you certainly were.

Studious to stoner

Your first years of high school were...awkward. You had braces. You hit the peak of your growth spurt. Perhaps a little hormonal acne and a squeaky voice. But you persevered and emerged triumphant once you entered college. You began to fill out, the braces came off, and the opposite sex surely took notice. You didn’t care much for school, and fancied yourself more of a social butterfly than anything.

Ugly duckling to hottie

College was tough at first. Maybe because all your friends went to a different school, or because of pressure from your parents. Either way, you were shy and guarded, unsure if you and your new classmates would mesh. You focused on studying hard and getting good grades. But soon enough, you became comfortable in your own skin, and your peers began to see you as more than just a bookworm. Perhaps it was standing up to a bully or proving a teacher wrong in class — either way, it gave you a boost in confidence to become so much more than just a straight-A student.

Susceptible to self-assured

Growing up, you were always athletically inclined. You played organized sports, and your parents were always encouraging. In school, you were quiet, but not too quiet. You were friendly, but not necessarily a “popular” kid. Your focus was first and foremost on your studies — perhaps your goal was to get an academic scholarship to a good college. But then your coach began to take notice of your superior athletic abilities, and really encouraged you to train harder...so you did. Soon your studies took a backseat to your training, and it paid off. You became the star of your team and the envy of those less physically gifted.
