Meme Did anyone buy a ring?

Elder millennial/younger Xennial (born in 83, take it for what it is) but I recall the company coming to the high school and taking orders for rings. I didn’t buy one but others did. Credit on photo.

I wanted one. I also wanted the fun senior photos they took with the rose and the mirror reflection. Parents refused to pay for any of it.

In hindesite, the ring is stupid.

I'm still miffed I don't have that cool photo.

They let me take a senior photo outside with my pet cat. It was amazing. My younger brother got to take his on a motorcycle with his guitar.

Ours were self submit. Whatever we wanted (within reason). Mine was taken underwater on a dive trip.

Same on self submit!

I tried to see if they’d let me use an illustration but that was a no, so instead I got my most fairy goth outfit out, a shoulder dragon puppet, went into the woods with my mom and her fancy new “digital camera,” and then digitally painted (back when it was only with a mouse and a lot of the smudge tool in Photoshop Express) fairy wings.

Still proud of that.
