The wishes that people have hidden in their hearts are interesting; every single person has something they long for in life.
A genie in a bottle has often been the source of granting wishes, so we posed the question, “What do you wish for?”
Students provided a variety of answers.
“I would wish for a million dollars so I can check out my Shein cart, the house from The Notebook, and a 1976 Camaro,” Ashley White, senior, said. “Who doesn’t want a Camaro? The house from The Notebook is big and beautiful so I can relax and paint there. I need to get my money up and not my funny up.”
“I would wish for a mansion so that I’m not homeless, a fair maiden to keep me company, and to obliterate France,” Daniel Pruitt, senior, said. “French people eat snails and that’s gross.”
“I’d wish to move away, to become rich, and for my old coworker to come back to work,” Jasmine Harrington, senior, said. “I think that living here is boring, and I miss my coworker because he always did the best at work.”
“Firstly, the entire population would now have four arms. Secondly, the entire population has a single leg taken away. Lastly, the entire population would become blind,” Samuel Siebert, senior, said. “Four arms would be cool, but we take away the leg so that everyone gets the same treatment. I think if the entire population was blind it would be funny.”
“I would wish for an infinite influx of cash, a private island to myself, and a rocket ship so that I can go to space,” Bailey Broussard, senior, said. “To me, money does buy happiness, and if you disagree with me you are wrong. On a private island I can do the thing I’ve always wanted to do: become a large scale gardener. I want to go on the rocket ship because there’s no people in space to bother me.”
“I wish to remove one of my tattoos pain free. I want to travel the world while being broke. I want to have the batmobile,” Carmen Royale, senior, said. “Traveling while being broke seems very eventful and demure to me; I think I would genuinely enjoy all of these things to the fullest.”
“I need money, no more worries, and a house for my mother,” Aamira Stanfield, senior, said. “All of these things would make my life easier, No more stress for me, please and thank you.”
