11 Reasons You’re Glad You Took Yearbook In High School

Your yearbook is something you expected every year to end up in your lap or in your mailbox, but sometimes little thought goes to those who actually help create it. However, those who did work hard on the book can all relate to these 11 things.

1. Interviewing all the cute jocks and social butterflies

"So how much time do you spend working on the off-season, babe? I mean Gabe!"

2. Gawking at pictures of all the cute jocks and social butterflies.

Oops, look what accidentally just became my screen saver.

3. You loved that no surprise unflattering pictures of you would show up.

But Becky kissed my boyfriend and karma supports my decision to print this (kidding, that never happened... but you had that power).

4. Press passes that allowed you into all clubs and to the sidelines of all sporting events.

"This is so cool! Oh jeez, please please please don't hit me with a ball -- this camera costs more than your purebred dog."

5. The staff went from strangers to best friends to family.

I'm doing everything I can not to cry saying goodbye to my staff at the end of the year.

6. You know a lot of the school gossip before much of the rest of the school

Basically the cheer coach is quitting, but you didn't hear it from me. Unless people are happy about it then you definitely heard it from me.

7. It’s one of the only classes where you could talk to your friends while listening to music on your phone, sipping a vanilla latte.

"So then I accidentally called Gabe babe! Oh, can you hold my drink for a sec? I need to switch this song."

8. You felt like you had so much power knowing the theme for the yearbook a year before everyone else does.

No seriously, this is top secret information.

9. Your note-taking skills drastically improved from your speedwriting during an interview.

How much does a tape recorder cost? Add it to my Christmas list.

10. You learned a whole new language and you didn’t even realize it.

"Yerd." "Colophon." "Mugshot." "Rule of thirds."

11. There’s nothing like the pure joy you feel when the book is published.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
