@i know it's nerdy but the picture is actually useful for job applications, gradschool directories, and other things of equally lame nature.
@Anonymous kill yrself
@You could also put on your suit, grab your camera, and have a friend who knows something about lighting take a picture. It’s free/proves you are not a dumbass
@Back in my day JJ’s had a buffalo chicken wrap that you could get to go at 3:45AM and bring back to Butler.
@awesome great nostalgia.
@yeah almost no seniors (outside of maybe CCSC) pays for any of that crap. please sean manning udell, quit harassing me about it and fix the damn dining plan.
@well well well SHAME ON YOU BWOG for posting this ridiculous advertisement. Every senior out there knows “senior pictures”, yearbooks, and class rings are all scams that outside vendors put on to get our money. How much did they pay you to get you to advertise for them? I mean seriously, what has happened to Bwog? sell outs.
@Anonymous see tags
@how do I know this shit? there’s a $5 sitting fee to take the photos. (this was listed somewhere in the sign-up shit.) presumably we will also be given the opportunity to purchase these photos for ourselves at some ridiculous rate.
yearbooks are sold through the TIC and are insanely expensive. I think there are still a couple of samples there from previous years, if you want to go flip through and see how many seniors actually appear.
@Anonymous I believe there are copies lying around in the SDA offices.
@Legitimate Question How many seniors actually get their pictures taken for this?
@Do we have to pay for the portraits/the yearbook?
Basically is this a scam like class rings?
@Anonymous Yes.
A story from a long time ago (veracity a bit wobbly, admittedly) – the yearbook club people, with approval from the bureaucracy, refused to publish a yearbook, conceding that it was all a futile exercise. Once word reached El Presidente, however, the yearbook was suddenly brought back from the dead.
Do the graduate schools even bother with the yearbook nonsense?
