About This Quiz

EVERYBODY'S WORKING FOR THE WEEKEND! Work is stressful, right?! You're spending 40-hour work weeks and sometimes it seems like there's no end in sight! When Friday afternoon comes around, you're probably just looking for the best way to relax. Tell us about your week, and we'll tell you which relaxation methods are best for you!

When did you get your first job? Did you run to get your working papers while you were a teenager? Did you wait until you graduated from high school or college? Maybe your first official job didn't happen until after grad school. Every Monday, millions of people are headed to work to begin their week, and unfortunately, most people find that all their time is taken up by their job. 

Do you work an office job? If you do, this might mean that most of your time is spent at a desk. Your body isn't as active as it should be or as much as you'd like. If this is the case, you'd probably need to relax with a workout! Your job might be the exact opposite of this! Your job might be physically grueling like that of a firefighter! After moving around the entire week, you probably just want to relax for the weekend. If this is you, a nice hour of meditation or even a spa trip could solve this!

Do you need a workout or a massage? Rather than that, maybe you need a vacation or some downtime at home! So tell us about your week, and we'll tell you which relaxation method you'll need to get yourself back on track!
