Alright so I have to do this huge survey for this project I'm doing for school, right? And tomorrow I'm going into a massive lecture to hand out these surveys. And I was going to see if I could get some of you guys to fill it out for me too at some point in the near future. But then I remembered that before I distribute these like 150 surveys
