Avert your eyes if you don’t want to see talk about adult topics! Even though there are many that find high schoolers to still be quite a bit immature, they’ve been learning about themselves and others and how those two groups might interact – who knows, maybe they’ve even already been doing some of their interacting already.
Michael Dinh has found a quote from the great Richard Feynman to be particularly memorable. Sure, you can learn how everything works, but unless you’re actually putting it to the test, is it worth your time? You know all the formulas, the calculations, and the units, but you’re really just playing around. Everybody knows that it’s better to do your homework with a pal – you might not finish quicker, but you’ll have a lot more fun.
Mothers Are Sometimes No Help
It’s not always the kids that come up with the quotes – sometimes the parents step in to wish their child good luck or something like that. Well, usually that’s what happens, anyway. This time, Mom did her level best to come up with something that would be uplifting or encouraging or at least memorable, and she only really accomplished the final option.
Maybe Nadya Reinhart thought what her mom said was so funny that she demanded it become the quote that would go next to her full-body picture (another thing that we haven’t seen all that much here) for all time. Maybe her mom just cracked under the pressure, and really did submit the first thing that came to mind. Where did she get hippo farts, though? We will never know.
Hard to Say No to a Waffle
We assume that when President Barack Obama said this, it was with a smile that got everybody around him laughing. He’s that kind of charming guy. We...really don’t know why he had to ask if he could eat his waffle, but it happened before he was even president, in April of 2008 – only a few short months before he would be elected president.
We think that reporters were hounding him as he was on his campaign trail. People were asking him all sorts of questions, and he just wanted to eat his waffle in peace. It’s a funny quote out of context, which might be why Alina Mufti decided to include it under her senior yearbook photo. If there are any other reasons, we aren’t able to pick them out.
It Is a Lot of Hard Work
Chasing the girls all day will really run up your heart rate and burn plenty of calories. Cardio is good for a lot of things. If you choose not to join the race, then you may find yourself expanding a little bit, even if you aren’t intending to. We don’t know why this big lad doesn’t chase girls (maybe he is waiting for one of them to chase him) but he seems to think that’s the big reason he’s so big.
The thing is, even if you're chasing girls, it’s hard to outrun a bad diet. Take a step back from the cookies and sodas and Pop-Tarts and you might find your tuxedo is feeling a little loose after a few weeks. But then you won’t look as much like a future opera singer.
He’s Very Hungry
A kid was looking through the quotes in his senior yearbook and noticed one from Benjamin Dacy. Is this quote from a friend, a family member, or a coach? No – what about a famous artist or singer? Not really. Actually, this line is out of the good book, in Genesis 49:27, in which Jacob is giving a deathbed prophecy to all his children.
His youngest son, Benjamin, gets this line, along with a few others. It seems pretty cool, but it’s right after the prophecy for Joseph, which is far better in the grand scheme of things. Maybe Mr. Dacy just liked the ring of the words, maybe he’s always been a big eater, maybe he likes wolves, or maybe all three of those things are true. Whatever the reason, it’s in the yearbook now.
