i's all growed up

Okay, so I used to say that I'd avoid surveys like the plague. But apparently, I want the plague.

The Grown up survey!
Meant to be completed by ADULTS (defined as graduating high school at least a year ago!).

Tired of all of those surveys made up by high school kids?
'Have you ever kissed someone?'
'Told someone you loved them?'
'Drank alcohol?'
