Mikohlbecker pimped me, so blame him. Yes, it’s one of those survey things. And some of you can just get over there being no Five Things I Love for Friday this week (you who has written twice in a year). ;)

Your senior year in High School is supposed to be “the best year of your life.” Let’s see how much you remember. I know for some it might be hard for you to go back that far!

Year: 1998

1. Who was your best friend? Probably Matt Kanary since we worked together all summer. But we all were close.
2. What sports did you play? I rowed in the fall. Four-seat, B-boat pride.
3. What kind of car did you drive? 2 door racing edition Reliant K car. I miss her.
4. It’s Friday night, where were you? Check two places: Maxwell’s drinking coffee or Jason’s basement.
5. Were you a party animal? Pfft. No. I went to a handful of parties that year, but I didn’t drink so…The party at Brad Golba’s house that spring was epic, however.
6. Were you in the “In Crowd”? Neither in nor out. We all kinda floated, really.
7. Ever skip school? Not dileberately.
8. Ever smoke? Not even a cigar at graduation.
9. Were you a nerd? Yes and no. If all honors and AP classes count, then yes. Socially, I can comfortably say no.
10. Did you get suspended/expelled? No, but I did get accused of cheating on an Ethics test by a priest. Despite having a 104% average in the class.
11. Can you sing the alma mater? To this day, and still pointing upward at the banner.
12. Who was your favorite teacher? Senior year? Doc.
13. Favorite class? AP Chemistry, even though I wasn’t enrolled in it.
14. What was your schools full name? St. John’s Jesuit High School.
15. School mascot? The Titan.
16. Did you go to Prom? 3 that year.
17. If you could go back and do it over, would you? Hell yes. But only if I could do it knowing what I know now.
18. What do you remember most about graduation? Wearing a tribute band for Ryan Jurski. Still wish he was there.
19. Favorite memory of your Senior Year? No way. One contender would be a night at Mandy’s with a drunk Andrea (and Mandy). Thank God Claire was sober. I felt rebellious and free. Or Appalachia with the guys. Or leading Kairos.
20. Were you ever posted up on the senior wall? WTF is that? We did knock unconscious freshman Kyle Tippton with a skittle one day, if that answers the question.
21. Did you have a job your senior year? Not during the school year. Summers I hauled steel and drywall for 15 hours a day. Yeah $5.75 an hour!
22. Who did you date? No one. Though I had a monster crush on Jen Bell.
23. Where did you go most for lunch? The table near the vending machines so that Matt could con freshmen out of money to buy fresh baked cookies. Biggest score? $5 to buy out the cookie cart.
24. Have you gained weight since then? Haha. Up 90+ lbs during college, down 120+ now. So in the end I’ve lost weight.
25. What did you do after graduation? I have no clue, sadly. A bunch of graduation parties, and a memorable one at Emily Hassen’s house (I still hate Jason and Matt for breaking in to my parent’s house, considering I cleaned up their beer mess and took it to the recycling center).
