Suraya:When and where?

Miranda:I was born? 

S: Yes. 

M;April 16, 2003, Market, Michigan, 6:03 P.M.

(Kari: You know the time???)

 

S:Middle name?

M:Joelle

​

S:Favorite memory?

M: It can just be any? 

S: Yeah. 

M:Hmmm . . . There are too many to count. I really liked it before everyone got cars and we would walk to McDonalds and Starbucks in the rain. I also liked when we all went down to the creek the first week of school and saw Joel Bernthal standing in the middle of it. Yeah, just spending time with the girls, and the guys too.

​

Advice for freshman? 

M:Don’t focus on your social life before your grades. I learned that the hard way (to Kari: “That’s good advice.”) 

(Kari: What?)

 

S:Advice for seniors? 

M:That’s a hard one. 

(Kari: Why do they need advice? They’re leaving. Just forget they ever existed.) 

M:Do they need advice? 

(Kari: Say something about college.) 

Miranda: “You don’t need to go to college to be successful. How was that? I think that was good.”

​

S:Which is better: Starbucks or Caribou?

M:Hmm… Starbucks, because Caribou is almost too sweet. I’m very selective about my Caribou drinks. But at Starbucks I can get whatever I want. Caribou gives me a headache too. But I love both equally. 

 

S:Biggest regret of high school? 

M:Not branching out when it comes to friends. Like just sticking to one, and just like, you know, staying in while other people were out and having a good time. 

​

S:If you could only take three things and two people with you to a deserted island, what and who would you take? 

M: I would take my . . . well, there’s no internet on the deserted island, is there? 

S: No.

M: There’s no internet? Or electricity? 

S: No.

M: Well, I’d take water, obviously… like a water jug… 

S: You do know that on a deserted island there is water there, right? 

M:What if it’s a salt water island? They have those machines that convert saltwater to freshwater, so I’d take one of those.  Food and a pocket knife--no, a swiss army knife. And I would take Lydia and Marisa because they know a lot about surviving. And they are good at protecting, so they would protect me. 

(Kari: notice how you didn’t say me.) *both giggle and proceed to talk for another half minute*

 

S:What animal is your spirit animal? 

M:A turtle. Because they are very slow. 

(Kari: a coffee bean) 

M:Is that a spirit animal? That’s a good one too. But also they have the shell, and that’s cool too.

 

S:What are you gonna miss most about high school? 

M:All of my friends,(collective awwing) and tour choir. 

 

S:Favorite hobby? 

M:A hobby.  What’s a hobby? I don’t have hobbies *laughs* I really like to drive. I’m not a good driver, but it helps me clear my mind. I also like to make coffee. And I like shopping.
