Breaking the Mold
This one is great because it’s actually a quote from someone else instead of just a snarky saying the student him- or herself supplied. Sure, fitting in works sometimes – like when you have to wait in line for a movie – but if you’re trying to get people to remember you, to think about you more than once in a while, it helps to be a little out there.
The great Dr. Seuss – as well as Quidarryl Wray – knows that it can be a big help being odd. It might not always be the best thing, but some people just can’t help it. Nobody gets to the top of the heap by doing the same thing as everyone else. You have to go your own way, at least a little bit, and hope that you’re providing something people are missing. And they’re always missing something.
It's a Big Help to Everybody
It’s amazing how much help Google is when trying to learn or study about really anything. If you want to find a good way to describe math concepts, that’s the way to go. Need to spell something for a paper? Google it. Want to figure out the conjugations to French verbs? You know where to go.
Here’s a fun tidbit: You know those IT guys that seem to know everything about computers? It’s mostly just Googling stuff they’ve never heard of. The thing is, they know what all the terms already mean, they just need to see what order they’re in to describe your issue. Kevin Hoang tells it to us straight when he says Google helped him graduate. Hopefully it wasn’t cheating, and more just trying to figure stuff out the right way.
She Really Hit the Books
This young lady spent a lot of time studying in order to get her grades up, but that’s not the only big change that happened during high school. As far as we can tell, she shrank a little bit – maybe she decided to pick up running or take a good, long look at the kinds of things she was eating for dessert.
We’re no experts on the subject, but the things she’s referring to don’t generally plunge in size unless a couple of specific choices are made – two of them, however, are simple to do. Eat less and exercise more, and you may find yourself shrinking. There are many who find this result a bit unfortunate. But if it means you’re landing at a healthier weight, then it’s still a change for the better.
Elementary Humor
Rhiannon Lorenz (now there’s a name with a lot of flavors) decided the best thing for her senior quote would be a little bit of humor. Good choice: we could always use more humor in our lives. This young lady, who is probably going to go into the sciences in college if her quote is any indication, dropped a quick one into the yearbook so that people paging through it later on can have a laugh.
Or a groan more likely. She’s injected a little bit of oxygen into what is usually such a dry and boring piece of binding. It’s an ironclad way of making your picture memorable to anybody that sees it. This humor has been carbonized in time for all to see and enjoy. Uh…helium.
Zynniah Knows What She Likes
Can’t say we’ve ever seen that kind of name on a gal like her before, but we don’t mind a memorable name. There can only be so many Brittanys or Allisons. Being called Zynniah is a good way to make sure people remember your name, too. And Zynniah just has everything figured out, doesn’t she? She knows what she’s looking for in a guy, and she even goes at it with a particularly fairy tale bend, too.
Maybe she knows finding someone who fits the bill will have to have a little bit of magical help. Either that or she has to become the female lead in a Hallmark movie. We’ve always wondered what people mean by “dark.” Black-haired? African-American? Tan? It seems like there’s a lot of leeway when it comes to that sort of thing.
