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.
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.
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.
Not Letting Life Get Her Down
There are some people out there in the big wide world that seem to think they always get the short end of the stick. As it turns out, life just isn’t fair for most people. Only a few can sit back at the end of their days and say that they never had to struggle.
This young woman doesn’t want to stick with the thought that she has the whole world up against her, and we want to applaud her for it. She’s just smiling at the camera, knowing that she got through high school and is on to bigger, better, and more-fun things. Maybe she’ll be able to bring that sort of positive energy in college and flip the script a little bit. Those places are ridiculous these days.
Just Asking for Trouble
We bet that “Bundy” isn’t too uncommon of a last name, even after the terrifying events of Ted Bundy’s reign. If your last name was Bundy during that time, we bet you got a whole lot of sideways glances and whispers. Of course, nobody else was at fault. That doesn’t mean that Blake got away without having to deal with any of that stuff, though.
Of course, Blake looks far too young to get any worried glances when his name is spoken – most kids in his high school probably weren’t aware of Ted Bundy just yet. Blake knew all about it, probably because his parents or dad had to deal with it for quite a while, and here Blake is grateful he didn’t have to deal with any of it.
