Ten Very Real Things My Relatives Said To Me After My UCB Intensive

  1. Wow, where did this come from?
  2. This is a side of Arielle I never knew about!
  3. Will this help you with your debate? (this is a reference to the debate team I am on)
  4. When I told my friends, they all thought I was nuts! And I said, “it’s her thing, not my thing!”
  5. Well, this sure is a departure!
  6. Did you learn to be funny?
  7. Was Amy Poehler your teacher?
  8. You know Arielle, sometimes we all find things that we’re deeply fascinated with, and then we realize that we’re not supposed to do those things.
  9. So did it help you with your debate like you thought? (this was apropos to nothing, as I never agreed that UCB was going to help with my debate)
  10. And my favorite… Quick, do some improv! Be a hatbox!
