Is Your Mind Set To The Right Time?

Take a few minutes and find out!

By Maggie Gusman

 

Have you ever seen the way the old year (last year) is shown as an old man and the new year as a baby? Well, a lot of us are already imagining what that little baby will be like when she grows up! You know; you're dreaming about the summer, your next birthday, or maybe starting school next year... all the stuff that is going to happen or that you hope will happen in the next year. OR maybe you're still thinking about what this year was like.

Which one do YOU think about the most? Where do you spend most of your time? In the past? The present? Or the future? Finding out can help to explain a lot about how you think and act in life. Take this quiz to see if you need to start looking ahead or watching out for the things that creep up behind you!

    • Having a sassy shindig with my family and/or friends.
    • All the things I have coming up.
  2. While helping your grandmother bake some cookies, she starts to tell you about what life was like when she was your age. You think:
    • Wow, I wonder what I'll tell my grandchildren.

    • Wow, those cookies smell really good.
  3. If I go to bed at 7:30 p.m., it's because:
