Title: Eat Nothin' But Cake And We'll Tell You When You'll Get Married 

Results: This year! 

The quiz I shared with my friends was a Buzzfeed quiz titled; Eat Nothin' But Cake and We'll Tell You When You'll Get Married. We took the quiz together, and in the quiz you selected different cakes each questions, and based on the cakes you selected, you learned when you'd get married. Our results varied for the quiz; I got this year, and my friends varied from 2, 5, and 10 years. I think the difference in our responses does not speak to who we are as people, or the differences in our friendships. The quiz content is incredibly unrelated to the results, so there is no significant depth to this quiz. You're just selecting cake that looks good for fun. For me, the purpose of these Buzzfeed quizzes is, like I said, have fun. There is not validity to these results, which could be dangerous depending on the quiz content, it is necessary to recognize the truth and scholarly aspects when taking quizzes online.

These online quizzes do offer interesting perspectives into various topics, and it is easy to understand why they are enjoyable. Their popularity has gone down in the past couple years, but they are still so many being created by different users. However, it is critical in this day and age to recognize the meaning in these quizzes, or lack there of. As the accessibility of things becomes far more significant with the internet and technology, it is important to take articles, information, and these quizzes with a grain of salt.
