The Most Awkward Yearbook Photos Ever

By Ariana Romero

Yearbook pictures are kind of terrible and way too stressful. They always have been and always will be. In elementary school your mom spent forever trying to make your hair perfect. In middle school, you tried to match your braces bands to your outfit. For your high school senior pictures everything had to look perfect, but you still managed to have an awkward smile or a leftover summer sun burn. Fabulous.

My dad had my seventh grade yearbook photo in his wallet for about six years (adorable, I know). I cringed every time he opened his wallet; the moment we got my senior pictures I forced him to change it immediately. Now I hate that one and my platinum blonde hair. It’s a never ending cycle.

If your photo experience was anything like mine, there’s a sure fire way of feeling better: laughing at everyone else’s even worse yearbook photos. And believe me, there are some doozies out there (even from our favorite celebrities).
