by Vivega Saravana Prabhu
Scenario 1:
You and your friends are on your way home, at 1 AM, after homecoming, but then someone suggests that you guys go on an 8-hour long road trip instead. Which friend are you in this situation?
You’re the one who suggested the trip and you’re already setting up your GPS for unknown location hours away from home. What’s life without some unexpected thrill?
You’re hesitant at first but you remember you have your taser and pepper spray with you that you can use in case of an emergency, so heck ya you are going. Plus you look amazing tonight we don’t want this beauty to go unnoticed!
You’re the most reluctant one. You’d rather spend the night at home with food in your PJs. You were already dreading the dance, but now another trip?!?
Scenario 2:
You are walking home alone after work, and you notice a hooded figure walking behind, you don’t know what their intentions are yet, but you are not willing to find out. What would you do?
You stop and wait for them to pass by, and if they try to attack you, you’re ready to fight back! Until they run away crying.
You have your phone ready on speed dial, you don’t care who they are and what they want. You don’t trust them and that’s that!
You run to the nearest hiding spot and hide there until they pass by.
Scenario 3:
You and your friend are getting lunch when one of your classmates comes up to your friend and starts bullying him/her. What would you do?
That’s it. No one messes with YOUR friend! YOU go for the face. One punch and down they go.
You stand up for your friend, and you call out the bully in front of everyone so they eventually walk away embarrassed.
You’re not looking for trouble but you still care about your friend. So you drag them away from the bully and suggest going to eat lunch elsewhere.
Scenario 4:
You’re at your local grocery store. Which shopper are you?
The one who spots their favorite bag of chips at the highest shelf but is too short to reach it, and needs to ask someone else for help.
The one who is at the clothing section looking at new clothes for the longest time, and you might not even buy those clothes.
The one who gets exactly what they need, no more or no less, and leaves immediately after.
Scenario 5:
You’re at the beach with your family. What would you do there?
Bury yourself in the sand and wait and see how long it takes your mom to notice that you're gone.
Stay in the shade. The sun is waaay to bright and it’s waaaay too hot.
Run for the seaaaaaa!!! It’s the perfect activity to do, minimal talking, and just nice and cold water splashing against your body.
Scenario 6:
It’s Friday evening and you're trying to decide on what movie to watch for the night. What type of movie will you choose?
A nice fast-paced action film, that keeps you on the edge of your seat. You know like “Fast and Furious”
A nice thriller with suspense, a movie that gives you goosebumps. For example, “Bird Box” and “The Quiet Place”.
You’re rewatching all the Disney films or for a bit of change maybe throw in a romantic comedy.
Scenario 7:
You want a new phone that was released a few days ago. How do you convince your parents to buy it for you?
You do all your chores and if they still refuse you are willing to go on strike, by not talking to them. UNTIL they get you that phone.
You would do all your chores and create a detailed PowerPoint on why you should get this phone.
Wait until it goes on sale, and then ask your parents to buy it for your birthday or some kind of holiday.

Distinct from other tigers for their heavy black stripes
