My yearbook was free. And free from errors as well for the most part :v:
[QUOTE=Alec W;44834049]If you're still in high school, get a yearbook, and get it every year. It's really nice to look back with friends every once in a while.[/QUOTE] Gotta use that yearbook money towards gas.
If I was given the chance to go back in time and re-do high school, I would take it in a heart beat.
[QUOTE=Elecbullet;44834687]Generally people who were not social recluses and had friends[/QUOTE] I'm gonna miss my High-School once I'm out, a lot of self-development that went on that made me feel great, and I hope I never forget the people I'll end up leaving behind.
[QUOTE=Elecbullet;44834687]Generally people who were not social recluses and had friends[/QUOTE] Where do you think you are?
My high school year book was made by the popular kids who took the class, you can guess who won most of the super latives and how much they thought the yearbook was great. The entire cover of the yearbook was their pictures plastered into a collage, they somehow added people twice, removed the person who they didn't like, added another page of signatures between photos, which ended up, to my friends, the secret page on who can draw the better dicks. Hell they gave bigger pages to sports they were in, there was some high level bias, though they pretty much are at community college taking remedial classes or working, last I checked. Though it's nice to look back and joke about people or things that happened to people.
Yearbooks are funny. They print so many of them, yet a lot of kids never even buy them. My school probably has 10000+ year books from the years before that kids never bought, and they just sit in the basement of the school.

I bought 2 year books, both didn't have me in them.
[QUOTE=Intoxicated Spy;44835292]I bought 2 year books, both didn't have me in them.[/QUOTE] Generally you have to buy yearbooks from your own school to see yourself in them.
[QUOTE=Simski;44834669]I'm 23, when does those feelings start?[/QUOTE] When you start studying full-time at university, have to balance that with a part-time job, and live by yourself. I'm not sure if you meet all or even any of that criteria. I miss senior school, it was the best. I would love to have the opportunity to travel back in time and re-live at least one regular day there.
[QUOTE=Simski;44834669]I'm 23, when does those feelings start?[/QUOTE] Probably at like 40 or 50. I'm sure when I'm an old geezer I'll be like "why don't I take a look down memory lane" and then I'll look through my yearbook again and the comments people wrote. I know my mom regrets not having a yearbook (but that's because the guy who was making it was probably scamming everyone. It was the 1970s Philippines, I don't think there was much transparency back then). I mean one of my roommates in university was an old childhood friend and we already would sometimes reminisce about the shenanigans people got into in high school.
I remember when I was going on to high school, and the middle school yearbook was like $60, so of course I didn't bother getting one. They gave me one for free for some reason.
[QUOTE=Elecbullet;44834687]Generally people who were not social recluses and had friends[/QUOTE] Not everybody who had problems in high school was a loser with no friends.
[QUOTE=SexualShark;44833948]i never bought a yearbook for my senior year. its just an overpriced picture book.[/QUOTE] I don't know about you guys but over here we got ours for free, and it was pretty big and cool too.
Over here we don't even have yearbooks. I don't even know what you put in them.
most yearbooks cost around 60-100k USD to print, and are designed from scratch; there's a price tag on them for a reason there's at least 5 times you check a page before you send it in for good, the errors were pure ignorance on the staffs part
In my school we had a school hoodie specially made. They created it with a fancy design on the back with the names of everybody in the year and arranged them in the shape of the year - '12'. They ended up forgetting all of the people who's surnames began with a C, causing a public outrage to those who cared enough.

My high school gave away year books for free every year, just saying...
This is why yearbook class is a joke.
Someone spilled beer on my yearbook like the night I got it. I think I may have thrown it out, I don't remember.
My yearbook class actually made it worth the $50. I managed to get a George Carlin quote in there so you know that shit's legit.

Sounds like an Arizona thing to do The yearbooks at my high school (closest one to BGHS) had awful yearbooks my last 3 years, so many photoshop errors and poor buyouts using just the eraser tool at 100% opacity. I graduated 4 years ago but sometimes I think of offering to go in and assist the yearbook class because they don't know shit about photoshop :/ I just want people to remember the good stuff, not have to worry about a bunch of mistakes that show no one really gave a shit about them
My school gives out yearbooks to seniors who have paid all their class dues. Basically as long as you graduate you get a free one senior year.
I was a co-editor for my High School's yearbook. Misprints happen, potentially including the senior quote thing. The cover is totally the publisher's fault. The rest is inexcusable.
In one of my yearbooks, my friend got his last name messed up so bad that it's become the best inside joke ever. His last name is Kinsey and they made it Kin7 :v:
[URL="http://m.imgur.com/a/8G3aM"]This[/URL] was the yearbook from a high school in my town last year. My school's their cross-town rival, so we could get away with making fun of it, but our yearbook's cover was designed to look like an iPhone so we couldn't say much.
[QUOTE=Jodern;44833976]Who wants to remember their high school years anyways?[/QUOTE] You shitting me? I'm a sophomore and I miss my freshman year because the seniors I hung out with were super chill.
