Behold, friends, another reason, YET AGAIN, to hate journalists. What could possibly be worse than a journalist, though? That's right... student journalists.

I just picked up my yearbook today. It's been 9 months overdue. I'm sorry, but 1 measley hurricane shouldn't delay something for 9 whole months. Firstly, they had the balls to interview me and yet they TOTALLY miscredited my name. They wrote down Mark Smith. I mean, they could've like at least tried like they did last year, naming me Marcos Pranfelli. But, no, they credited me as Mark Smith. When I find the editors in charge, I'm going to rip them apart. I can't believe the idiot teacher who heads this crap actually passes these kids. They didn't even try. Secondly, the book is a freakin' chav encyclopedia (douchebag edition). I can't believe it.

A word to ye wise gentlemen: Never buy a yearbook unless you have control over the people creating it.

Next year, I'm going to buy a ton of advertising space and write my own damn yearbook. Screw those journalism idiots. My school is so beyond me.
 
This is fairly common, but in my school the anuals aren't too bad. Yes, there are a few errors, but nothing so serious as a miscredited name. I think a lot of the yearbook kids look at Yearbook as a "Blow off class" or such.
 
Word, guys. I just got it because a lot of my friends graduated and because it was the last year of one of my teachers.

I wonder if people will think I'm Mark Smith when I go back to school. :lol:
 
Mine was pretty bad too. My parents yelled at me for a good few days when they found out I didn't buy a yearbook when I graduated... They were also wierded out by the fact that I really didn't want to go to commencement
 
I think the larger the school, the more mistakes the yearbook's going to have.

Wait I think I just stated the obvious. :dunce:

Anyways, my school is pretty small, so it isn't too bad, but yes, mistakes do happen, and it annoys me. I have one of the weirder names of the school, so my name was very frequently butchered. It's gotten better though as I got older and more people knew me.

Hopefully next year will be better since one of my best friend's going to be the editor...
 
Well, you do realise that you now need to make a PDF of yours and post it up here, so we can all see it, don't you?
 
I haven't been to the zoo in forever. I could've gone junior year, but for some reason decided not to. Everyone else did. That's why I bought my yearbooks--to feel like a loser-supreme when I see all that the other kids did that I didn't.

Wait a second....:odd:


By the way, i say "chav" all the time now but none of my friends know what it means. Omnis, I try to be cool like you and your material flops. Must be a Cali-only thang. Damn you to hell.
 
Meh. I'm from florida. My cousin and I use the english term because he lived in europe long enough to know what one was too.

But, even if it's from england, it still describes a lot of american kids (in south florida, anyway). Like... it's a mix of chav diluted with some douche.
 
Not to be more off-topic, but it seems chavs have a thing for Burberry plaid patterns. Whoda thunk it. Oh, and I bet they don't like to buy yearbooks.
 
I buy yearbooks, and it's not that bad...at least they don't miscredit my name :)

But then a select few (popular) kids from the school in each grade fills the pages with extra photos of themselves. I don't think I've ever been featured.
 
I know what your saying, our year books were basically a scrap book for the 9 people that made the thing. Even the section on a groups trip up north had a picture of them mixed in. I don't know how they were allowed to print the thing, but it made a lot of the graduating class mad that they now had a photo album of these 9 stupid girls in 11th grade.
 
Bummer dude. I was one of the two editors and the photographer for my senior year book. I don't think we screwed anything up, haha.

Yeah, basically, you buy the last few pages for your own advertising. Maybe I'll scan a picture of my nuts for next year.

:lol: Yeah, only the popular kids. I'm not popular, but very distinguished.
 
I've only bought a yearbook in my last year of grade school and only intend to buy the next one at the end of high school. There's no point in doing it any other way.

My school has really good yearbooks anyway.
