  High: I had my last halftime show performance for colorguard on Friday! Low: I had my last halftime show performance for colorguard on Friday… Tom and Jerry was my all-consuming obsession, the kind that shaped my afternoons. After school, I’d rush home, eager to dive into the chaotic world where a cat and mouse turned every moment into laughter without even using any words. Lunchtime wasn’t just about food; it was about being a screenager (well, more like a screen + kid so, scrid?) who incessantly watched Tom and Jerry on the TV forgetting to eat her food for hours at a time. Even during dance practice, I’d urge my coaches to switch the TV from recital photos and videos to my favorite episodes, which surprisingly they were just as interested in.  My friends often looked puzzled by my passion as they were interested in more girly shows, but I wasn’t like the other girls as I was completely hooked to Tom and Jerry instead. (This is a joke!!!).
