Humans of USU: Student flaunts shirt featuring best friend’s face

The Utah Statesman interviewed Savannah Stone, a sophomore studying English, from Spanish Fork, Utah.


Utah Statesman: Do you have any special talents?

Savannah Stone: I play the violin and I sing, but I’m thinking more beekeeper. Is that a talent?

US: What got you into it?

SS: My mom made me do it.

US: Have you been beekeeping for a long time?

SS: Probably four or five years. But they are at my house in Spanish Fork right now.

US: Tell us a little about the shirt. You said it was a Christmas gift from your best friend. Were you expecting it?

SS: We always get each other wacky gifts just because we think we are funny, so I kind of thought she would do something funny. And she did, so, yay. Ten points for best friends, right?

US: What was your reaction when she gave it to you?

SS: I didn’t expect necessarily a shirt of her face, especially as a kid. So I just laughed and it took me a second to realize that it was her. At first I just thought it was some random person, but when I realized it was her, it became 10 times more funny.

US: What are you going to get her next year?

SS: I don’t want to copy this, but I think we can do some pretty funny things with Photoshopping both of our faces into something else.

US: How did you guys meet?

SS: We were both the new kids at high school.

US: What was your favorite thing to do in high school?

SS: We were really good friends with the security office, actually, so they would give us access to different parts of the school. Our school has this thing called Prank Week, and everyone goes all out. So there’s a lot of tin-foiling offices, filling cars with streamers and balloons, putting peanut butter underneath handles or throwing water balloons off the roof.

US: What’s the craziest thing you’ve done together?

SS: We call it “cramping,” but it’s actually just camping in a car. So we just drive somewhere and just camp out in the car. We basically just live off of donuts. I don’t know if that’s crazy, probably more stupid than crazy. It’s also crammed so cramping, car camping.

US: What would your spirit animal be?

SS: Probably a turtle. A little bit awkward, not very fast, not athletic. Plus, I saw this video of a turtle eating a raspberry in slow motion and I literally watched it over and over.
