Lol so I was bored lol and ZOMG don’t hate me but I thought it would be fun to do a 25 things for me, Wootton HS. OMG I cant believe I’m giving in to this trend lol I just see them on fb and I love reading them. LMAO don’t judge me.

1) A couple of years ago my faculty thought it would be a good idea to make me a new mascot. The only problem is that now my gender is ambiguous and my dress is a skirt.
2) My neighbor Winston, some nerd with expensive, designer label glasses, is really jealous of me because whenever play, I humiliate him. It’s not that I’m trying to embarrass him; it’s just that I’m so much better than him at everything.
3) More than thirty five years ago when I was born, there was a Bulldog in the neighborhood. Everybody was afraid of it because it was a Bulldog and bulldogs rip people's faces off. Now, I’m no longer scared of it because it fights like a girl and couldn’t intimidate a three-year-old, let alone win the biggest football game in who knows how many years.
4) I was named after Thomas Sprigg Wootton, who was the driving force behind the creation of Montgomery County. Unlike some other namesakes, Wootton was not an alcoholic, was not into domestic violence, and he actually did something productive instead of sitting around writing poetry about his own greatness (that’s right, Walt). Not to mention the fact that Tom was creating counties before baseball was even invented.
5) My friends say that I suck at sports, but they don’t really know me. I hang out with different people now.
6) I have my own army, called Tommy’s Troops. My proudest achievement was pounding the “Dawg Pound.” A close second is a near defeat over the Red Army in a fall bloodbath in 2008. Oh wait, I almost forgot about the back-to-back state championships I’ve won in hockey, the lacrosse state championship I went to and the volleyball state championship. And that’s just in the past three years.
7) I like rubbery chicken and Cup Noodles.
8) I work off my lunch calories during the five minute walk from my parking space to the school.
9) I’m the only school in the neighborhood with $10,000 Smartboards and no functioning bathrooms.
10) I’m so eco-friendly, I stopped using paper towels.
11) My favorite hobby is preparing for the SAT and studying for my eight APs, and maybe the ACT’s if I feel like it.
12) My biggest nightmare is being pulled out of in the middle of my AP Physics class by Dr. Doran’s person bodyguards.
13) I’m afraid of Chuck, too.
14) People stop and stare when they drive past me. I find it awkward, but people don't realize they can drive 31 and still be OK.
15) Everyone always tells me how good I am, but I’m still really self-conscious.
16) Today, I realized that I’ve steadily declined in the national rankings for the past three years. FML.
17) Apparently, Walt is better than me now. That’s debatable.
18) I’m on ‘Cribs’ almost every morning. Personally, I think I look better in person. That’s also debatable.
19) The biggest BAMF at the school occasionally likes to text during multi-variable calculus.
20) My senior class’ pranks are sooooooo hilarious that we even have to redo our entire parking lot and in the process get a new, unnecessarily flashy sign. They think they’ll get away with it. Little do they know, “I Know Who Did It, I just can’t prove it."
21) It took me twelve years to learn how to spell my own name, and people still can’t do it right.
22) I’m the only school in the area to not have open lunch even though I’m surrounded by Chipotle, Panera, Wingstop, Jerry’s, Moby Dick, Smoothie King, Starbucks, Theo’s, Burger King, Ledo’s…..
23) I try to eat healthy in the day by only eating things like ice cream, Gatorade, French fries, and mystery meat hamburgers.
24) I’m really conscious about my weight.
25) My buddy Dr. Doran told me that at the end of the rainbow, there’s an acceptance letter to Harvard.
