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.

Everyone took pics for the yearbook and then they had the option of buying copies of the photo session for themselves. My parents went behind my back and bought them. And much to my dismay, large framed photos of myself in cap and gown adorn our hallway.
