“I completely understand” is one of the most irksome phrases someone can mutter to me if they’ve clearly never been in my position.

This Kid I Know: Maddy

You know the people that you can hang out with in any scenario? Like, it could be a one-on-one Sunday brunch or a 3 a.m. party on Saturday night with all of your other friends. Maddy is one of those people for me. His actual name is Madhav, but I affectionately nicknamed him Maddy. And I loveContinue reading “This Kid I Know: Maddy”

This Kid I Know: Navin

If you ever are privileged to interact one on one with an individual like Navin, consider yourself lucky. Like myself, he thrives in small group conversations. It takes a while to coax him out of his shell, but once you do, you will be glad you did. He has a hidden layer of craziness underneath,Continue reading “This Kid I Know: Navin”

This Kid I Know: Natalie

How did you two meet? That’s the most common question that Natalie and I get whenever we’re together.

Rate this:

This Kid I Know: Lisette

Ask me how Lisette and I met, and I might shoot off some story about a conversation we had at an Atlanta meet-up, or a week or so into the first week of school when she sat down at a table where I was sitting, alone.

This Kid I Know: Shreya

That Shreya lives just down the hall from me means I get to see her in the wee hours of the morning, when the most I’ll do is grunt at her in the bathroom.

This Kid I Know: Colin

Colin is one of my best friends. I have always been confused as to why this is, since we have very few mutual friends. I know that if you read this and you know both of us, you’ll be confused, because we don’t have much in common. But I don’t have to justify our friendship toContinue reading “This Kid I Know: Colin”

This Kid I Know: Curtis

Looks are deceiving. I love driving up next to people who see an innocent-looking Asian girl, only to be disproved by my rolling down the window and unleashing hell in the form of sizzurpin’ trap music (I didn’t use that word correctly). Similarly, one of the toughest looking guys out there is an emotional sweetieContinue reading “This Kid I Know: Curtis”

This Kid I Know: Vicky

Don’t forget, peeps, I only write these for people who have requested them. If you were being sarcastic…sucks. Vicky isn’t just some kid I know. She is the best kid I know. She has been with me the entirety of her existence. I love being her big sister, and this Thought Catalog article knows exactly what’s going on. IfContinue reading “This Kid I Know: Vicky”

This Kid I Know: Bryant

To put it simply, Bryant is my oldest friend. We’ve known each other since the beginning of time, way before pre-school began. During the rough elementary years, we didn’t attend school together, but I think I saw you here and there at tennis practices and remembered the fun times we’d had as toddlers, toddling aroundContinue reading “This Kid I Know: Bryant”
