Should you go to class? BY AMBER BILLINGS abillings@mndaily.com

The question we’ve all asked ourselves at least once already this semester: “Do I really NEED to go to class today?” The obvious answer

is yes. As an undergrad, you’re paying $463.85 per credit. That’s a lot of money wasted by skipping class. If you go, you might learn something you need to know for a test. You might also learn something you don’t need to know, but

hey, learning is fun. Even if you don’t like learning, today could be the day that hottie in your class says hello. Do you really want to miss that? You can even get some exercise by walking or biking there. Then you

wouldn’t have to go to gym later — not that you would anyway. No matter what you decide to do, it helps to have some reinforcement. Take this quiz to find out whether you should go to class today.

UGH. JUST STAY HOME.

You are cheesy and simple. For you, less is more. You value feeling secure and you don’t like straying away from your comfor t zone. You’re ever yone’s friend and dependable. You’ll always be there even when other Mesa ingredients start to run low on a Friday night — so to speak. You’re consistent with your decision-making, usually taking the more practical route. Above ever ything, you’re agreeable. I mean, who doesn’t enjoy a nice slice of Mesa mac ‘n’ cheese pizza? No one. You’re a classic staple who everyone loves. (11-18) Southern Gentleman, Morlaya’s Chicken, Philly Cheesesteak and Barbeque Steak and Fries:

DO YOU HAVE CONTRACT PARKING? NO

METERS ARE EXPENSIVE. DON’T GO.

YES

GO TO CLASS.

You are saucy and optimistic. You put the needs of others before your own,

and you always keep a positive attitude. You’re open to new ideas and seek opportunity in every situation. Anything goes for you. Seriously, mashed potatoes and bacon on pizza? A’ight. You’re people-oriented and fun-loving, tackling each day with cheer ful enthusiasm. Above ever ything, you don’t define yourself by one only standard. By your principles, an Italian-originated dish can most certainly have American fries or BBQ sauce on it. You’re up for anything. (17-23) Eggplant or Grilled Veggie:

You ar e ear thy and contemplative. You are constantly obser ving the world around you, making creative interpretations and searching for new ways to engage your free spirit. Your cultured soul is like a pie with a vast array of vegetables piled high — a layer for every emotion you feel. You’re honest no matter the consequences, and you appreciate a variety of experiences. Above everything, you’re imaginative and intuitive. You believe everyone has a place in the world, just like eggplants have a spot on pizza. (24-29) Tortellini Pesto or Chicken Penne Alfredo:

You’re a boss with timeless style and sophisticated taste. You run the world. You’re an innovator who always takes responsibility for all of your actions.You’re also known to be a perfectionist. Pesto sauce is good, but too much pesto sauce is never a good thing. You make the amount exact. Yo u ’ r e i n d e p e n d e n t and a free thinker. You’re known to enjoy a traditional slice of pizza when it’s the right time, but you also enjoy a nice bowl of pasta on an occasion. Combining the two entrees makes perfect sense to fit with your fastpaced lifestyle. (30+) Southwest Taco or Spicy Chicken Burrito:

You’re spicy and bold. Aye, aye, aye! You’re a sassy character with vivacious spunk and attitude that shouldn’t be messed with. You live in the moment with ever ything you do. You also love new experiences, like random ingredients on pizza? Sure, why not?! You’ve got spicy confidence, you crave adventure and you never go unnoticed. Bold flavors and toppings with a kick drive you crazy. The more black beans, lime juice or southwest sauce, the better. You like it hot — real hot.

ANSWERS...

Which male athlete should you date? BY JACK SATZINGER jsatzinger@mndaily.com

There are 11 varsity Gophers sports teams on campus, which means there are literally hundreds of fit, toned and handsome guys waiting to spend a romantic night you. Still, 11 teams is a lot. How do you know which kind of athlete is right for you? 1. If you end up dating an athlete, you HAVE to go to his games. Which sports season do you most enjoy watching? a. Fall (1) b. Winter (2) c. Spring (3) d. Summer (4) 2. Which body part is

the most attractive to you? a. Abs (1) b. A firm, round bottom (2) c. Man boobs (3) d. Arms (4) 3. How tall is your ideal significant other? a. Hobbit - 5’7” (1) b. 5’8”- 5’11” (2) c. 6’0”- 6’5” (3) d. 6’6”- Elliot Eliason (4) 4. What kinds of sports do you like? a. Ones with balls. The bigger the better. (1) b. Balls, but preferably small ones. (2) c. Screw balls; I like big wooden sticks.

(3) d. No balls, no sticks, just a few men. (4) 5. Do you like it indoors or outdoors? a. Inside, for sure. (1) b. Outside. (2) c. In the water. (3) d. On the mat. (4) Now add ’em up. And whichever sport your numbers add up closest to is the sport you should date. 10: Basketball You like a significant other who’s tall and plays with big balls in a climatecontrolled setting. Now, get to that hardwood!

9: Football The leaves are falling, and you’re pre-gaming in the FloCo courtyard with YOUR boyfriend’s football jersey on. Get on that gridiron, Gopher. 12: Swimming You like your significant other wet all over, with washboard abs. He’s always doing his thing in the pool. Now grab a towel, because things might get messy. 16+: Wrestling You like a strong guy who knows his way around a mat. The Gophers wrestling team is one of the best in the nation, so that’s a good thing for you.

15: Baseball The snow’s slowly beginning to melt, and so is your heart. That’s because you’ve fallen for a baseball player. When the season’s over, he’ll take you fishing up North and tell you about those fastballs of his.

7: Golf If you got golf, you’re probably from the western suburbs. There’s nothing better than some cold iced tea and a day at the country club — if you’re into that sort of thing.

11: Hockey This is the State of Hockey, and there’s no shame in dating a Gophers hockey player. Sure, a lot of girls are after the Kyle Rau’s of the world, but you believe in miracles.

14: Track and field/ cross countr y Yo u r e m e m b e r t h a t girl from Juno who got knocked up after spending a day with Michael Cera as a distance runner? That could be you!

8: Tennis You like a man who can be flexible. He can play inside or outside depending on the season, and he’s extremely agile.

OUTDOOR RECREATION

13: Gymnastics If you’re into dating guys who are shorter and more flexible than you, gymnasts are for you!

RESULTS… Mostly a’s: Bird silhouettes

You’re ear thy, organic and under the illusion that your bird silhouette tattoo is unique. I get it; they’re cute. Unfortunately, they’re not so cute when you start running into the zillion other people with the same tattoo. If you want a bird, get an actual, anatomically correct bird, not a jagged blob. Mostly b’s: Infinity symbol

You’re either a math geek, a hopeless romantic or a combination of the two. In any case, it’s time to look at the figures and realize the number of people with infinity tattoos is TOO DAMN HIGH. M o s t l y c ’s : Tribal design Some tribal designs are tolerable, especially when an artist goes out of his or her way to make it unique, but most are exactly the opposite. Other tattoos that fall in this category include tigers, panthers and Tasmanian devils. Just don’t do it, kids.

Mostly d’s: Anchor Are you a ship captain? A pirate? A fisherman? If not, you don’t need an anchor tattoo. Yeah, I know anchors are the per fect metaphor for your grounded-ness, but it’s time to branch out. Boulders are solid. Why not get a big rock on your ar m? At least it’s more original. Mostly e’s: Minnesota outline You love Minnes ot a . Wh y else would you still live here, especially after this winter? If you’re into the cult aesthetic, go ahead and get your stupid state outline. If not, consider a walleye. Minnesotans love walleyes.

Who’s your anti-hero? BY GRANT TILLERY gtillery@mndaily.com

Being an anti-hero is a lot more fun than being a hero. Heroes are simple caricatures portraying the qualities and morals we want to project on society. Anti-heroes are complex. They’re multi-dimensional, engaging, edgy and possess a gritty realism that heroes fail to capture. Here’s a quick quiz to determine which notorious TV antihero you are, you charming devil, you. 1. What word would describe your personality? a. Sociopathic b. Sugary sweet c. Casanova d. Vindictive e. Desperate 2. Pick one place to live: a. Manhattan b. New England

c. Los Angeles d. Washington, D.C. e. The Southwest 3. What’s your daily get-up? a. Fitted gray suit and a fedora b. Soccer mom chic c. Black T-shirt, blue jeans and the smell of liquor d. Pantsuit e. Oxford and chinos 4. What’s your dream car? a. ’62 Coupe DeVille b. Toyota Prius c. Porsche 911 d. Anything chauffeured e. Pontiac Aztek 5. What are you most likely to be arrested for? a. Fraud b. Drug dealing c. Public urination d. Slander e. Murder

6. Which line are you most likely to utter? a. “What you call love was invented by guys like me ... to sell nylons.” b. “Been there. Done that. [Expletive] it up. Twice.” c. “I probably won’t go down in history, but I will go down on your sister.” d. “Be honest about how you’re using me, just like you use everyone else.” e. “Stay out of my territory.”

3 or more #2’s: You’re Nancy Botwin of “Weeds.” On the surface, you’re a model community member, but you’re corrupting the town one person at a time right underneath everyone’s eyes.

IF YOU SCORED…

3 or more #5’s: You’re Walter White of “Breaking Bad.” While your intentions may have been good once upon a time, power has gotten to your head and made you quite unpleasant.

3 or more #1’s: You’re Don Draper of “Mad Men.” You’re irresistibly attractive, yet you lead a double life that will eventually expose itself.

3 or more #3’s: You’re Hank Moody of “Californication.” You’re a charming devil, but you can’t control your appetite for women, weed and whiskey.

-tor of Louis Vuitton. Marc Jacobs was the creative director of Louis Vuitton from 1997 to 2013. Kate Middleton’s wedding dress was Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, not Jenny Packham. DKNY stands for Donna Karan New York. Pantone’s 2014 color of the year is radiant orchid. Emerald green was the color of the year for 2013. Hermès is a French brand, so the H is silent. Diane Von Furstenberg is known for the wrap dress, not Vera Wang. Fun fact: Vera Wang used to be a figure skater. Elie Saab is a man. Karl Lagerfeld’s cat is named Choupette.

Literally clueless Do you not have access to the Internet? Or do you live under a rock? Regardless, you have absolutely no excuse for not knowing these very basic questions. Obviously, you know nothing about fashion, but it’s appalling that you don’t know what brand Jennifer Lawrence represents. She is one of the most talked-about people on the planet right now. You are a failure, my friend.

Basic You are just a very basic human with very basic fashion knowledge. You should really start reading more. I bet you’re one of those people who thinks fashion is trivial. I would reference the scene in “Devil Wears Prada” in which Meryl Streep’s character destroys ever yone while explaining how trends spread, but you probably wouldn’t get it anyway. Average Well, good news: You’re not the worst. You probably aren’t the most fashionable person alive, but that’s OK. Maybe you occasionally read a fashion magazine; maybe you accidentally took a 1000-level retail merchandising class to fulfill the University’s “ethics” requirement. Either way, you are average, and you should be content with that. Slightly better than most You know more about the fashion industr y than your peers, which should be applauded. You probably have a subscription to at least one fashion magazine, and I bet you could name more than seven designers. At the very least, you might be the person your teammates turn to in Trivial Pursuit when there is a fashion. Expert Congratulations! You are a fashion exper t. Put this quiz on your mom’s fridge, because this is something to brag about. If you continue to keep up with industry trivia, you might be able to land a job at Vogue or Chanel (OK, maybe not, but at least you know which one is a magazine and which one is a brand). Good work! Omnipotent fashion guru Are you Anna Wintour? Or somehow related to Anna Wintour? The fact that you know Karl Lagerfeld’s cat’s name is incredibly impressive. You might be too smart for your own good, and I don’t trust you.

RESULTS… Mostly A’s “Remember the Titans”: Yo u ’ r e a n i n s p i r a t i o n , but you’re a little cliché. You’re a tr ue leader and stick up for things you believe in, but you come across too strong at times. You’re committed to succ e s s . Yo u a l l o w y o u r self to get a little sappy at times and will shed a tear amid your tough demeanor. Mostly B’s “Miracle”: You’re the classic under dog. You like when people bet against you. You may not be the best, but you won’t be outworked. You actually like working to get better. And with all that hard work, anything is possible. Do you believe in miracles? Yes! Mostly C’s “Happy Gilmore”: You’re a rebel. You were most l i k el y t he cl a s s cl o w n back in the old days and also have a bit of a mean streak in you. In the end, though, you’ll always stick up for your own — even if that means beating stupid Shooter McGavin on the golf course. It’s a safe bet you can drive the hell out of a golf ball, too. Mostly D’s “The Sandlot”: You’re a kid at heart. You’re simple and hate the fact that you got too old too fast. You would give anything to go back to the days when nothing beat a nice game of catch — as long as it’s not with that prized baseball signed by Babe Ruth. You’re along for the ride, and as long as you have your friends, that’s all that matters. Mostly E’s None: You’re such a hipster. You don’t like movies. And if you did, you most definitely wouldn’t like a spor ts movie. That’s way too mainstream. It’s guaranteed you don’t agree with this analysis, but you don’t care because you are too busy Instagramming — and biking.

of this new crap that’s floating around in refrigerators. There is nothing better than a nice Sunday on the couch with a Gatorade in hand. Mostly C’s Red: You’re about as intense as it gets. You’re a hard worker who uses Gatorade mostly for workouts. You only drink it when you’re playing sports because you don’t like to put sugary substances into your magnificent body. You hate when teams pour Gato-

IF YOU GOT... Cross country: She’s supportive and determined and will always be a shoulder to lean on in times of trouble. But avoid romantic hiking trips — she probably hates hills. Soccer: A very loving person with a dash of cool, a soccer girl loves to relax and escape the wind sprints of practice. When it comes to gifts, she’ll probably find a cute new pair of sweatpants more romantic than a pair of earrings. Volleyball: You shouldn’t be surprised if she’s taller than you. Be aware that this girl might be deceptively territorial — and be nice, or she might spike it right back in your face. Tennis: She’s sweet and innocent, but she can pack a mean hit if you get her riled up. Though a romantic, her interpretation of love is probably different from yours. Hockey: You picked a competitive person who’s most likely more successful than you. Your future girlfriend will challenge you to be better than what you are. If you’re lucky enough to call one of these women your own, celly hard. Basketball: With the attitude of a soccer player and the height of a volleyball player, women’s basketball players are definitely versa-

rade on coaches and waste all of it. Mostly D’s Orange: You are funky and love the Gatorade commercials that always seem to be on TV. You see those athletes in the commercials and want to be just like them. Still, you only drink Gatorade when you want to. You are a consumer of the product, but you’re in control of your cravings. You also like basketball a lot.

tile. They’re bubbly and wellgrounded. Swimmer or diver: You picked a quiet intellectual who is well-versed in the game of numbers. If you find yourself struggling to woo her, just saying the word “taper” will make her go weak at the knees. Rowing: She understands the importance of pulling her own weight. But take caution scheduling romantic dates to watch the sun rise at 5 a.m. She’s already sleep-deprived. Instead, try giving her a massage. Track and field: There’s a big difference between dating a track athlete and dating a field athlete. Still, both are laid-back and fun to be around. While one will run into your heart, the other might throw you around. Gymnastics: She’s spunky, high-energy and always the life of the party. Still, be careful taking her to a club. You can be assured that she can dance 1,000 times better than you. Golf: You picked a low-key and casual person who rarely lets you know what sport they play. They’ll wait until the cliché mini-golf date and ruin your “I get a kiss if I win” bet idea. Softball: This one is positive and free-spirited. Your time with a softball player will be nothing but smiles. She’s funloving, but don’t challenge her to a pitching contest.

You tell them you’ll have to pass this time. Just like the last 10 times. b. You go out but promise yourself you’ll be home early. Or earlyish… c. You go out and show up for your exam in a lessthan-desirable state.

6. When Netflix gives you 15 seconds to choose whether to watch the next episode, what do you do? a. Exit Netflix. It was a nice distraction, but now there’s studying to be done. b. Debate what you should do until the 15 seconds are up, then realize Netflix has won. c. Immediately click next episode. You have to know what happens. Cliffhangers are the worst.

You’re probably balancing a lot of things, and academics just aren’t always first on your list. Most college students are at your level. So congrats, you’re just like ever yone else! (Ain’t nothing wrong with that.) Mostly C’s: Hot Mess. Well. You should probably start getting your stuff together, friend. Academics don’t always have to come first, but sometimes they should. So skip this weekend’s trip to the bar, and hit up the real librar y. With books, not drinks.

Let’s be honest. Whether you’re a legit collegiate athlete or you just hoop up at the r ec, you’ve envisioned what it would be like for the announcer at TCF Bank Stadium, Mariucci Arena or W illiams Arena to introduce you as par t of the star ting lineup. And the biggest part of this moment is what song will boom through the speakers as you step onto the playing field. Take this quiz to find out your ultimate walk-out tune. 1.

I prefer the sound of my own thoughts Now, count ’em up: A=1 point, B=2 points, C=3 points, D=4 points and E=5 points... 5-9 points: You’ve got swag. And with all that swag, you can walk on the cour t to one song and one song only — “Boss Ass Bitch” by Nicki Minaj. Wow. Such lyrics. Much repetition. 10-14 points: You rock. No, like, really, you like rock music. You’re a fan of anything that gets your head banging. That’s why you’ll r un all the way to the end zone with Bastille’s “Pompeii” splitting your ear dr ums. AY AY

OH AY OH AY AY OH AY OH. Why is that par t so catchy?! 15-19 points: You’re a cliché! You’re so American and generic, it hur ts. So burst with pride as you take the field to the tune of “Eye of the T iger” by Sur vivor. And after that song plays, don’t forget to stand, remove your hat, put a hand over your hear t and belt out the national anthem. God bless. 20-24 points: You’re so pop. You like to dance. You like to have fun. And who cares if your friends tease you a bit for listening to the most ter rible Top 40 music? You take the ice to One Direction’s “Best Song Ever.” And when the boys hit that high note, good lord, it’s sure to get the whole stadium on its feet. 25 points: You are so unique and obscure. You’re an original. And you would walk out only to your own personally recorded chanting in a language you made up yourself for a religion you also made up yourself. Who needs music when you have the essence of a young Topanga circa Boy Meets World? You keep doing you.

RESULTS… Mostly a’s: Panama City Beach, Fla. – Chances are, you’d have a pretty good time at PCB. It’s the ultimate spring break destination for party people who aren’t looking for anything fancy — just a beach and a place to keep their booze. If you’re not going this year, put this spring break destination on the calendar — you’re meant for each other. Mostly b’s: Freeport, Bahamas – This classy, white sand beach city is great for people who have the means and want a fun, relaxing spring break trip. Lots of restaurants and open-air bars populate the shore of this beach city, which gives spring breakers options to par ty or just relax and have a good meal. Mostly c’s: Stay home — Let’s be real: You don’t have the money to go anywhere but your couch. And that’s OK! There’s plenty of Netflix to watch and Flamin’ Hot Cheetos to binge on.
