A senior quote is supposed to be inspiring. For some high schoolers, it’s their final chance to give their peers advice to help them through the challenges they’ll face after graduation. For others, it’s a way to sum up their personality or their outlook, so that many years in the future their classmates can pick up a yearbook and be reminded of who they spent high school with.
But we’re talking about a bunch of 18-year-olds. In reality, high school seniors have been screwing around with their yearbook quotes since yearbooks were invented. (If you thought it was just millennials, think again.)
