Back To School With Swimming With Dolphins’ Austin Tofte

What were your extracurricular activities? (band, drama club, sports?)

I dabbled in Soccer, Basketball and Yearbook maybe a little Choir as well.

What was your high school’s mascot?

We were The Warriors!

Did you ever write down a REALLY ridiculous answer on a test?

Oh I’m sure most of my answers were really ridiculous. I specifically remember writing “orgasm” instead of “organism” on a biology test in junior high once… Haha – oops!

If you could have gone to any fictional high school, which one would it have been?

Hogwarts, obviously.

Favorite place to hang or hide at your school?

The cool kid hang out was by the soccer field or the basketball court.

What did you usually eat for lunch?

Turkey sandwiches mostly, but Pizza was and still is the preference.

Were you ever bullied? If so, how did you deal with it?

Not too much, I knew how to stick up for myself pretty well. That also got me in just as much trouble as the bully if there was ever a fight that broke out. :S

What song, band or album do you most identify with your high school experience?

Colour & Shape by The Foo Fighters was HUGE for me!

What was the most trouble you ever got in, and what was it for?

Welllllll, I almost got suspended because I came to school with my ears pierced and at the little Christian school I went to that was a BIG no-no.

Which high school from a music video would you want to go to?

I feel like there was a My Chemical Romance video with a huge school theme…? That would be alright with me!
