Just because you weren't born somewhere doesn't mean you shouldn't live there! Although, please do the right thing and adjust for gentrification. "Just because you weren't born somewhere doesn't mean you shouldn't live there" is something that mostly privileged white people get to say. OK? Cool! Now take this quiz and enjoy your privilege!

You should live...
Mostly A's: Wherever you currently live.
You seem like a really healthy person with a healthy lifestyle. Chances are you have chosen a city to live in that works for you. Good job!
Mostly B's: Nearer to your parents.
Maybe you went to college, and that was fun, and then you moved to a city, and you struggled to find a job, and you still drank like you were in college, and now you are broke and really, really sad. That's OK. Sometimes that happens. But if you can, you should probably move back in with your parents for a little while, just until you can find a job (or something like that) and a regular therapist. No one is going to judge you for that.
Mostly C's: Elsewhere.
Look at you! You're so open-minded and nomadic! You know what? You should go do some activist work somewhere. Help out on an organic farm or re-build a bridge or something. Go have adventures and be rootless! Not everyone is so lucky as to be so free-spirited. Get out there! Go!
Mostly D's: Space.
You are an alien who speaks English. Please go back to space. You confuse me, and it's scary that you eat human flesh.
