Wandering wisdom and talks of experience, an interview from a student at Academy of the Redwoods

By Kaolin R from Academy of the Redwoods in California

“The most interesting food I’ve eaten was a concoction I made at a binge-watching party. My friends mixed every kind of snack we had. This included goldfish, candy lego blocks, sour cream, pretzels, tomatoes, and I can’t remember what else was in it but it was everything on the table and nobody really dared me to do it, I just thought it’d make me cool at the time cuz it was years ago. It did not taste terrible but it did not taste good, I would not have it again.”

“We don’t typically get pomegranates around here so I’d love to have a pomegranate… cantaloupe also isn’t usually around here but it is my favorite fruit, gotta love a cantaloupe. Someone on Reddit said “I'll tell you how many girlfriends you’ve had based on your favorite fruit,” they told me I had eight, so I was like, awesome.”
