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. It means I get to raid her room for milk when mine has gone sour after sitting in the fridge for fourContinue reading “This Kid I Know: Shreya”
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”
This Kid I Know: Michael
The first word that comes to mind when I think Michael is short. He’s just a shorty, and he’s accepted it, I’ve accepted it, and everyone else out there should as well. No one calls him Michael, anyways, we all call him Mihe. Mihe and I met at the 8th grade debate banquet when IContinue reading “This Kid I Know: Michael”
This Kid I Know: JJ
If JJ is ever being sassy, humble him by reminding him of how we became friends. It’s the funniest story ever and whenever it comes up between us, he just burrows his head and changes the subject. How did we actually meet? We met long before we became friends, as we were in the sameContinue reading “This Kid I Know: JJ”
This Kid I Know: Marc
Oh Marc! I can’t believe he’s turning 19 today, while I have yet to turn 18. He certainly has the capacity to act his age, though I would dispute the claim that he always acts it. Like most guys I know, he’s changed a great deal since I first met him in maybe 6th grade.Continue reading “This Kid I Know: Marc”
This Kid I Know: Mallika
My very first friend at the school I now attend is, was, and forever will be a short, adorable little Indian girl named Mallika. The first time we met, I mispronounced her name; that will remain a stain on my conscience until the end of time. She assigned to be my “buddy” (every new studentContinue reading “This Kid I Know: Mallika”
