Growing up in East Cobb comes with a lot of pride. Even though many others associate us as snobs, we are proud of who we are. Usually our families our very economically stable, and hey who could complain about that. Don't be surprised when all the newly 16-year-olds start driving around in their brand new cars when their birthday rolls around. Also, our schools are some of the best in Georgia; Walton ranking top in the nation. When students' senior year rolls around you'll see hundreds of cars painted to make sure everyone is aware that the said student is a senior.
1. You're either a Raider or a Raider hater
Everyone attending Walton is proud to be a raider, but if you attend one of rival schools the story is a lot different. If you go to Walton, you are happy to tell everyone how great your football team is and how strong the academics are. However, if you go to Lassiter, Pope, Sprayberry, or Wheeler, you are quick to talk about how snobby and rich Walton students truly are. And as they say, "Wuck Falton".
2. You helped throw baby powder at the opening of football games
And you most likely spent your fall Friday nights at the football games. They are the highlight of your week and you wouldn't miss them for anything. Boys with painted chest spelling out your school name and girls with tutus and white converse aren't the unusual either.
3. You've been trick or treating in Indian Hills
It's the biggest neighborhood; it almost seems never ending. You could be trick or treating all night and you still wouldn't have made it to half the houses in the neighborhood.
4. In middle school you spent your free time at the avenue
The avenue was the place to hang out. Fuzzy wigs was the place to go and you could even buy the latest webkinz for a much higher than average price.
5. You've been to the Roswell Mill
If you are looking for a place to go on senior skip day, this would be the place to go!
6. You live literally 15-30 minutes from either downtown Alpharetta, downtown Atlanta, downtown Kennesaw, downtown Marietta, downtown Roswell, or downtown Woodstock
There is always somewhere to go and the drive isn't too far. You'll never run out of places to go shopping and you are probably a frequent at Brooklynn's.
7. The majority of your graduated class attends UGA or KSU
Most people say the people who didn't make it into UGA go to KSU and then transfer. But hey, I will say I am the exception! I never even wanted to go to UGA, but still GO DAWGS! And of course, HOOTY WHO?!
