Dear High School Me, Congrats on your graduation! Grade 12 is nearing its completion at long last. While for some, high school graduation holds the significance of the completion of 12 years of education, it is a culmination of all the hard work, difficulties, and successes that has turned you from that shy 7 year-old who…
Dear Grade 10 Me: A lot has changed during these past three years. I’d like to say I grew immensely as an individual but that would be a gross hyperbole. However, I learned many things through the tears, stress, and laughter high school provided me. Things never go as expected and that’s okay. No one knows…
Most high schools allow grade 12 students to choose a quote for the caption of their yearbook photo. But for many students, myself included, it’s a toss up between submitting something serious and opting for something a little, well, sillier. To make your decision a bit easier, I have compiled a list of possible yearbook quotes-some profound,…
So, it’s almost the end of the semester; for school-lovers and youtube-preferrers alike, this time of year is accompanied by a low-key nostalgia, a feeling akin to having the Breakfast Club music play on a constant loop at low volume in the back of your head. Everyone wants to be remembered, and yearbooks are a great way…
Hi everyone! I don’t know if this is timely or not since everybody’s schedule is different, but I thought I’d offer up some tips for having a great grad photo (since mine looked pretty killer, if I do say so myself). 1. Makeup Now considering all of the grad photos I’ve already seen, I think…
To the girls who are graduating from high school this year, have you bought your grad dress yet? I myself, have not. I have searched extensively for dresses online, and have come across a number of different styles. Here is a collection of my top 5 favorite dress styles (all photos are taken from jjshouse.com): 1. A-line…
Prom is just around the corner, and if you’re like me, you always buy everything last minute and can’t spend a ton of money. I noticed that there are hardly any stores in Calgary that sell prom/grad dresses for a decent price, but have no fear, that doesn’t mean that they don’t exist! I went…
You’ve worked hard all year (or not worked at all) and now, graduation season is approaching. From the end of May to June, most high schools will be having graduation ceremonies to celebrate the achievements of their Grade 12 students. Whether graduation signals the end of school torture, or the beginning of success, it is a time…
For most high school seniors, grad is quickly approaching! To get everyone pumped for graduating, and of course the grad dance, I’ve made a compilation of sweet promposals: Happy grad.
As I approach the middle of my last semester in High School, the reality of leaving high school has finally began to hit me. For many of us High School Seniors, the end of Grade 12 marks the end of our times living at home, the separation of friends whom you’ve known since as far…
I’m a girl in grade 12, so naturally, finding my grad dress is probably the most fun I’ll have this year. So the question is…should I get a sweetheart neck, strapless, one-shoulder, a-line, asymmetrical, gown, short, long, halter, poofy, sequined, or rhinestoned dress? Yeah, okay. I don’t even know what to choose. But I have…
As the word “grad” comes up in more and more conversations and daydreams… Take it Slow
As you all are probably aware that Grad is coming up, and girls and boys – mainly girls – are most likely trying to decide on what to wear! And yes, I know there are Facebook groups out there for girls to place dibs on dresses (’cause if someone wears the same dress… aaaawkward). Now,…
“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all which may appear to give one piece of mind, but in reality nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man than…
During the last weeks before exams and the end of school, the fine arts department has defintely been keeping busy with serveral performances occuring at Pearson. A senoir, but possessing no stage show talents, and a fine arts student myself, I was extremely excited when my school hosted a grad talent show, ( to reduce…
