A True Tragedy of Our Age
You walk into your favorite burrito place and you can bet that there’s one thing you’re almost certain to hear: the guac costs extra. We all know it. Jackie Aina, social media personality extraordinaire, knows it, and Djenaba Adams knows it. Everybody who has picked up a sack of food from Chipotle or Qdoba knows it.
And it’s a real shame, too, since guacamole is one of the best things in life. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: we like our people like we like our tortilla chips – as long as they help us get guacamole in our mouths, we don’t care what they look like. Maybe Adams is just tired of hearing it when she goes out to dinner, or maybe she wants to let other people know that she knows. Who knows.
Words That Truly Mean Something
A lot of people want their senior quotes to really mean something – they want the wisdom to echo down through the ages and inspire others. Then there are people like Khalil Brown. Is this little quote a wise one? Perhaps. We haven’t been able to get to the truth of the matter vis a vis being fly and its attractiveness to honeys.
We DO know that you actually catch more flies with vinegar than honey, so maybe Khalil still has some things to learn. And get this: Khalil not only dropped some knowledge on everybody who read his quote, but he also beat cancer when he was in the tenth grade! That’s why his mother expected him to leave a quote that was deep and thought-provoking. Apparently, Khalil had other plans.
He's Weirdly Correct
Ricardo Solis might have spent more time at house gatherings than spending time in class, but he still has his picture in the yearbook, so he hasn’t flunked out yet. And he’s correct on the technical aspects, at least. It’s a lot easier to retake a class than it is to try and perfectly recreate a party the exact same way it happened the first time.
Those things are pretty ephemeral – just changing one little detail is going to throw the entire thing into a new space. After thinking about it a little bit, we’ve noticed something about this quote – Ricardo is speaking as if classes and parties are on equal footing, but who has parties during school hours? Who has classes during party time? We’re just saying it seems like Ricardo could have done both during his time in school.
One of Life's Great Questions
Firstly, pay no attention to the woman that has been covered by the red scribble. She’s not who we’re here to look at. No, we’re more interested in Eui Jang, whose quote is a weird mangling of the English language and is attributed to himself, since apparently he’s wondering who his own man is.
Eui is a Korean name, and there’s a rich history of deep thought from the eastern edge of the world. Eui is continuing in the tradition by asking this question – who is he, really? To whom does he owe his allegiances? Where does he really belong in life? Whose man IS he? His family’s? His wife’s? His friend’s? Does he belong to his job, his school, his neighborhood? It’s an incredible mystery that isn’t easy to solve.
Showing Off What He Knows
Let no one say that Anthony Richardson wasted all his time in high school. If you need any more reassurance, then just take a look at what he decided to leave as his senior quote, which will be there for all time. Yes, it’s the very same formula for area that you probably learned when you were ten.
But did you remember it after all this time? The length times the width is the area. Quite handy for finding out how big a rectangular shape is, but not super handy for doing much else. You can’t even use it to find the area of a circle. Maybe this was the only thing that would fit inside the little quote box. He wanted to put Fermat’s last theorem, but it was too long.
