  • Favorite memory: When I was but a small sapling entering high school, I joined the RHS soccer team. I had played soccer my whole life and I was very excited. Part of the requirements of playing soccer was wearing “slide shorts” or basically, spandex shorts. The cheap ones I bought were very long and down to my knees. The great thing about spandex is that you cannot feel if you are wearing anything else above them. Another wonderful rule was that all players must be dressed and on the field by 3:35pm sharp everyday. However, school would get out at 3:18, leaving little time to even think about getting suited up. One particular day, I remember being in a hurry. I ran outside, sat down, and put on my cleats (we weren’t allowed to put our cleats on inside the building). I remember it being slightly “brisk” and “fresh” that day. Quickly, after I finished tying my shoes, I sped away. I made it about 30 yards away from the building, still noting the unusual breeziness of the afternoon, when I realized that I had forgotten to put shorts on over my spandex. Being the frightened young sapling I was, I quickly turned around to attempt the long journey back to my locker. Nobody had noticed me yet, and I was thankful. However, on my way back to the locker room, I caught a glimpse of a girl I had the largest crush on. She looked at me and said the most life-changing words I have ever heard: “Nice shorts.” My face burned intensely as I returned to put on my shorts.
  • Favorite animal: Dolphins.
  • You suddenly have to flee the country and adopt an alias. What is it? Rico Suave
  • Stupidest thing you’ve ever said out loud:
    “So are you two related?” I said.
    “Well, kind of, you could say,” replies the man.
    Without thinking I declare, “Like father and daughter?”
    “No. Like husband and wife.”
    “Oh,” I mumbled.
  • If you had to marry someone you knew at the age of twelve, who would it be? Brooke Schierman realistically. In my head, any of the Baywatch ladies.
  • What’s one phrase you absolutely detest? “I don’t know, like, sometimes when, like, you know, like, people are like, always saying like, like…”
  • What’s something your friends make fun of you for? My incredible furriness…
  • What’s one thing you would say to a celebrity? “You really named your kid ‘Apple?’”

  • What’s the worst pet you’ve ever owned? A Siamese cat…
  • Do you follow your head or your heart? It depends on the situation or what is being discerned. “Love looks with the eyes, not with the mind and therefore is winged cupid painted blind.” However, the world could use a little more love…
  • What did you dream about last night? Sleeping more…
  • Paper or plastic? I don’t know, paper beats rock, rock beats scissors, scissors beat paper… Where does plastic fit in?
