Art is my form of expressive meditation. I could talk to anyone about almost anything. My favorite thing to do in downtown Athens is people watch. I cannot remember the last time I was legitimately angry about something other than politics. Graduated from Carrollton High School in 2008.

Eric Bogert debated for four years for Fayette County High School.  At first, he tried out Public Forum debate, but he didn't like having rebuttals that were only a minute long.  Because Public Forum sucked, he transferred to Lincoln-Douglas during his junior year.  In his free time, Eric enjoys emailing famous professors who may or may not still be alive.
