21: Talk about a time you had to turn someone down.
In elementary and middle school I always went to sleepaway camp over the summer. And towards the end of the session, we’d had a camp dance, and people would make a big deal about who was going with whom. There was this boy named “TJ” who people always made fun of. It was easiest to make fun of how heavy he was, but he was also a really oblivious person. He sadly did not always realize when someone was laughing at him instead of with him or when people were setting him up for failure. The guys in his cabin knew he had a crush on me, and kept telling him that I liked him back and that I wanted him to ask me to the dance. It was all false, and I had my eyes set on some foreign boy as always. I had never really spoken to TJ, but one day he asked me to the dance in front of a crowd of his bunkmates and as soon as he did they all started screaming and laughing. I said no. I really didn’t know him well, and I felt bad that they would do this to him. He said it was ok but I saw him crying later. I yelled at the other guys later. 14: Talk about a vacation.
Over spring break, my roommate and I took a trip to Peru together with a tour group, and we set out with one goal—to take a selfie with a llama at Machu Picchu. While on this trip, she and I fought like crazy, but for some reason thinking about taking a selfie with a llama made us less irritated I think. On the last few days, we finally made it to Machu Picchu and we hadn’t seen any llamas for the whole time, until the very last 20 minutes of our trip, when a beautiful mama llama walked out with her few month old baby and we stalked them through the ruins to take selfies.
15: Talk about the time you were most content in life.
When I got accepted into college. Honestly, it was the happiest moment of my life—not because I didn’t expect it, but because no one in my immediate family had ever even graduated high school. I was first. I did it. And I overcame my suicide attempt and still graduated on time with A’s and I got into my first choice school. I was so happy I was weeping.
What should I talk about?
