Nobody who would be the same if I found them again
40. Who was the best new person you met?
Adam Vigna and Scott Cooper are the only two people I can think of off the top of my head. They're both unlike anyone I have ever met. Total characters. I made some good friends in my new starbucks crew when I transferred in June. If it counts, I now know the glory that is Will Hudson, although we technically met last year. Same with David Riley, who is one of the most interesting people I know and who helped me through the toughest part of this year. And then theres Michael Longhenry who I have been around since 7th grade and never really knew until this year. I'm glad that changed. I hope I'm not forgetting anyone!
