Seniors! Before we know it, it will be June 22nd. Let’s make the most of the time we have left in high school, just remember that your senior quotes are due on November 21st. Check your school email to complete the form. That’s just five days away, but how many of us have submitted them yet? I know I haven’t because I want it to be just right - honestly, I don’t know if college applications or picking my senior quote has been more stressful! Here’s my (very relatable) thought process the past two weeks:
- My Personal Impact
I definitely stand out against all 276 other peers, right? Of course - I’m pretty great! I have some insightful thoughts and I must make sure no one forgets that. I’ve changed so much in the past four years! I must say I’m kinda neat, into my studies, like to have a good time...how am I supposed to sum up the past four and my qualities in 125 characters? I got nothing.

- Pinterest.
Okay, forget that - it’s going to be too complicated to sum myself up, that’s what the photos and signatures are for. Let me just do a quick search of senior quotes. I’m sure there’s something that will fit me perfectly. Senior quotes have been a tradition for so long! There’s bound to be someone out there that was exactly like me as a high school senior, just more creative in their thought process. It’s not stealing. It’s borrowing.
- Remember when…?
How about something everyone can relate to? Bringing us back to things we have experienced as a class will sure hit us right in our feels and make everyone smirk when they get the yearbook. How about an inside joke only our grade will understand from that one assembly? Or a eulogy to Friday Special? What about an ode to silly bandz? Or that time our whole grade came out to the pep rally and had the most attendance, loudest screams, and dominated the basketball shoot-out? A pat on the back to us for surviving those great years of NJ ASK? Ugh, no, I’m definitely trying too hard. It needs to be natural. I need to rant about this. I JUST NEED A QUOTE.
- Mom Knows Best?
No, mom, I don’t want my senior quote to be “be yourself”. I just want something that screams me and everything I am at this moment...no, I don’t want it to be “dont worry, be happy” either. Thanks though. I’ll think of something else, something that’s not, “nothing is impossible”. Too generic.

- Just Do It.
Okay, my quote is due in five days and I still haven’t submitted anything. I’m looking everywhere for inspiration - what about that Chevy commercial? I mean, I have my licence, maybe I can write about how I failed the first time? Or how about my favorite clothing brand? Just do it...I just did high school! Golden. At this point, I’m trying to twist everything to be my own personal brand. IT IS SO HARD.
- Shoutout
Okay, it’s not about me. Let’s think of someone who has helped me throughout high school and give them some props. Without them, who knows if I would even be graduating! “Hi Mom”? Or thanks to that one teacher for reviewing my essays, Ms. Deluccia for aiding with my constant technical issues. Who are we kidding, they’re great, but Google is the real MVP.
- Take A Stand
Well, what better way to remember my senior year then to take a stand on an issue I’m passionate about? It’ll remind me of what was important to me and a great way to be remembered and to see if that same passion followed me.

- I’ll just quote my favorite movie/book/show.
I’ve definitely read something that sticks out to me and is the epitome of exactly how I feel about my own ambition. Or hey, what about my go-to movie every time I’m up late writing my English essays? Perfect.
Remember to order your yearbook online! Make your senior quote something that’s true to you, something great for us to look back on. Now holds the anticipation of reading everyone’s quotes! Teachers and staff - what were your senior quotes? Let us know in the comments section!
