What’s your favorite memory at BHS?
I had a near-death experience facing my ultimate enemy, the cashew granola bar. It wasn’t exactly a lovely memory but getting carried away whilst playing a ukulele will be forever iconic.
If you were an animal in a forest, what animal would you be? Why?
I would be a tree frog. They look really funny and they have big eyes AND they’re poisonous so they wouldn’t be eaten. I would just sit in a tree or hop around the forest.
If a forest fairy granted you one wish, what would it be?
Honestly, I wouldn’t take the wish. I’d give it to my little sister, who would totally sell her lungs and all of her toes to meet Taylor Swift. I would wish for my sister to get front row seats and a backstage pass at the next concert (as long as I get to come along).
Describe your Senior Year in three words.
Messy, unpredictable, nostalgic.
If you were stuck in a forest, what three things would you bring with you?
A flashlight, a knife, and a jar of peanut butter. I’m really allergic to peanut butter. If things ever get desperate…well…
What magical power do you wish you could have? Why?
Telekinesis. I’ve wanted this power since I watched Matilda as a little kid. I would just be able to pick things up with my mind and this is perfect for hurling certain Kanye fans out of windows (I’m totally not looking at Simrin and Aaron right now).
Snow White already knows Dopey, Bashful, Grumpy, Sleepy, Sneezy, Doc, and Happy. If you were her eighth dwarf, who would you be? Why?
Wakey! I’d be the opposite of Sleepy. Everyone who knows me knows that I’m always running on
three hours of sleep and no matter what time you text me, I will always be awake to see it!
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Explain.
This is just like the “Is water wet?” question. Water isn’t wet, it makes things wet. A sound itself isn’t a verb, but it is heard. Sound isn’t a sound unless it is heard. So, no!
Who’s your fairy godmother?
My absolute soulmate Dior. She has always been there to give me advice (even if it’s terrible) whenever I needed it.
What is your “happily ever after?”
Six figures and being student-debt-free!
Who’s at your side for your forest adventure?
My little brother, Steve. He’s always wanting to hang out with me and have fun, so I would take him along for any adventures I have.
What’s on your playlist for your forest adventure?
I would not be able to maintain a will to live for long periods of time unless “Picture to Burn,” by
Taylor Swift is at the top of my playlist!
