So, we all know that Duke ain't a hipster's paradise, but that doesn't mean that you're not among the interminably cool. Take this quiz, whose answers are based upon the highly influential teachings of the newly published Hipster's Handbook, and see how you rate....

c) one word: Eurotrash - or that, I-just-came-back-from-abroad-and-I-think-I'm-cool-as-crap
d) the "nouveau" retro look
- Running into a long-lost friend on the BC walkway, you impulsively...
a) French kiss - the same OR the opposite sex

c) high five - that's as close as you two will ever get
d) search frantically for Chronicles, averting your eyes

Answers - You only score one point for getting the answer that the Handbook suggests.
1.d 2.b 3.c 4.d 5.c
If you score a 4 or above, you're cooler than all your friends and should get new ones.
If you score a 3, you're hanging out with the right people, but you're probably still a tool.
If you score a 2 or below, you're a big joke. I'm sure your mother loves you.
And for just taking this quiz, let's face it, you're a giant loser.
