With this nationwide CBS exposure, it looks like Eric Schubert will be very busy this summer. Good for him! I like stories with happy endings!

I love nerds, they have no idea how important they are.
He should be like a normal 18 year old – stealing, putting graffiti everywhere, bulling the old people and those younger than him! Whats wrong with him??
Hope he will find ❤️
