MEET BELLA SALERNO

This is Bella Salerno who, even though she's a grade older than me, I'd consider one of my closest friends. Some fun facts: Bella speaks super super fast when she's excited or angry about something, she can sing... and also rap??, is a fantastic driver who can reverse like a pro (that story is mentioned later on in this blog post), only gets likes when her friends are in her pics (not my words), and can transform into Anna from frozen... If she ever needed to. I met Bella during my freshman year of crew, you know, back when she was "long- hair Bella" Back then I didn't know we'd become such good friends. Oh, how I wish I could've warned myself. Completely joking, I literally love Bella and she's one of those friends who'd take a joke and also take a bullet for someone. Maybe not that extreme, but you get my metaphor. I admire how kind spirited Bella is even when she may not be in the mood. Probs wouldn't say any of this in person, so enjoy it while it lasts Bella, thanks for being you, literally. Super cheesy, but we all know that sometimes life hits ya hard and Bella's always there to remind everyone else their worth, so here I am making sure that she knows that she deserves the best no matter how

hard life gets:) I'm so glad I found a friend that I can laugh, "harmonize", & be myself with, love you Bella!!

Q&A

I asked Bella a bunch of random questions during the car ride so you can get to know her a little better:)

Fav song currently?

I really like Amber by 311... I mean it's not a current favorite , I'll just always like it.

Are you usually early or late to things?

Early.

Any pets? A Dog, I love her, her name is Effa, she's my BFF. It was my sister's imaginary best friend's name, and my sister got to name her since she's the favorite child so yea!

Keep in mind I didn't say anything the whole time she was answering this...I told you she speaks super fast when she's excited/angry.

What's something you wish you knew more about? (long pause) I wish I knew more about how to answer that question!

.......

next question

What age would you permantly wish to be? A year older, done high school.

Something you're looking forward to the next 10 years? Graduating!! and being happy with my life:)

I added a smiley face because I thought it'd be appropriate for that answer.

Most interesting place you've been to? At first Bella answered this with Disney... and then the beach. So we switched the question up:

Favorite place you've been to? Disney!! I love it there.

How different was life a year ago from today? Soo different. Seriously, I never imagined my life would be like it is now. I wished I lived in the moment more than looking to the future:(

Just thought it needed a sad face

Something you'd rate a 10/10? My boyfriend

...

your blog.

:)

What do you wanna be when you grow up? A first grade teacher. I could settle for second too.

END OF Q&A.

My thoughts on Bella:

This is the portion of the blog where I give my input on why my friends are people everyone else should get to know.

FAVORITE THING ABOUT BELLA: My fav thing about Bella is how open and easy she is to talk to and always being one of my go-to's for anything:)

FAVORITE TIME YOU AND BELLA HUNG OUT: We have a good amount, but my top one (I literally laugh every time) is when we thought we saw clowns in the middle of the road and Bella stepped on the reverse like it was her last...

I'm still laughing.

THING THAT REMINDS ME OF BELLA: I kinda mentioned it earlier, but whenever I see Anna from frozen I become petrified because it could possibly be Bella,

SONG THAT REMINDS YOU OF BELLA: You & I by Ingrid Michelson... $10 and we can perform it for whoever wants to see.

FIRST IMPRESSION OF BELLA: Her hair is so long and pretty!! I probably said that to her too.

MESSAGE TO BELLA:

To end off this blog post I just wanted to say a few things to Bella, if she's reading this:

Hey Bella!! Thanks for always being there for me, and I hope you know that I'm always gonna be there for you! Also thanks for laughing at my jokes... because I know that you do. And I guess I'll add in another thanks for making jokes that I can laugh at too. Only sometimes though, it's kinda rare. Can't wait for more car rides, sunset pics, and singing with ya, I love you!! And... as much as your ready and excited for it, please don't graduate:(

Lots of love,
