Did you get to put a quote in your senior yearbook?

[birdistheword]

We didn't have that option. I have lately been seeing all these lists about "The BEST yearbook quotes of the class of 2014." So if you got to have a quote, and you remember it, what did you choose?

[wrathofkuus]

Yeah. It was some random bullshit about a duck.

[UMaineTeach]

we had the option, as well as, likes, dislikes, and aspirations. I am pretty sure I declined them all and it just says my name.

there might be a quote - but I know there are none of the other things.

[muppetinma]

Mine was from the Rainbow Connection. Shocking, I know.

[BaliHai]

Yes. I can't remember what it was, but I know I was REALLY embarrassed the last time I looked through my yearbook!

ETA- I want to say it was a Goldfinger song lyric. Criiiiinge.

[spitforspat]

"Way to go, go-face."

I was confused about what I was filling out. SMRT.

Thank god no.

[TrickyBob]

"From the desk of Bobbert - Roses are red, violets are blue, I was home schooled, so I rule. Suck it! Class of me, 2008"

If I hadn't been home schooled, I would have been able to put a quote into our yearbook because we did that sort of thing. Everyone generally lists a sappy goodbye friendship song lyric and then puts in a shout out to all their friends.

We each got a half a page as seniors. Our quotes were almost all inside jokes, not so much intellectual quotes.

[sake]

"A day without laughter is a day wasted."

[wambam]

It was a song quote of some kind but I don't remember what it was

[montereybride]

I don't remember if I had that option in high school. I do remember doing it in 8th grade and my quote being something like "If you have a big enough imagination, the world can be your toy box" and, for whatever reason (I'm guessing it's because I thought the shady as fuck yearbook editor who didn't like me would fuck with it) I went to the yearbook office to proof my quote, and it was entered as "toy boy." Not "toy box."

Toy boy.

Even my naive 13 year old self knew that shit was not ok.

We couldn't put anything ourselves. People could buy pages at the end to write stuff, which I knew even then was a huge scam. But the crazy part was that a math teacher/gym coach took out a whole page ad for some girl he banged in our class and got fired (before the ad but still that school year.) I couldn't believe they let him do that. They got married that summer.

I put in a comic strip that mentioned Dick Cavett with the express purpose of getting him to autograph it some day. Probably 10 years later he was on a local tv program and I got him to sign it! Who here actually knows who Dick Cavett is? (I went to a very small school and we each had a 2-page spread, so there was plenty of room!)

[Jalapeñomel]

Nope

[lime]

No, thank god.

Eww.

[RoxMonster]

Only the top twenty got to put a quote in because we got a separate page (not trying to come off braggy, that's just how it was).

My quote was "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."

Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and celebrate the journey.

I wasn't very cool.

My older sister (14 years older) had a friend write this long cheesy note in her yearbook (I was always snooping in her things) that said this in it, and he drew a picture and had nice handwriting, and I always liked it.

[cutecloud]

I went to the most weirdly strict suburban high school ever and there were noooooo senior quotes. We even had to get our senior yearbook pictures taken at the same place and with the same background if we wanted them in the yearbook. And our senior bests could only be really inoffensive things like smartest, best dressed, most outgoing, etc. Lame.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

I don't think we had that option.
