While you want your high school scrapbook to be personal and significant, there are still a considerable number of things that you should try to avoid. I have included some things in here that might surprise you, but trust me, if I had not seen it done already, they wouldn't be in here.
Include The Folk You Don't like
There's not much worse than having a look at someone else's scrapbook and have them constantly make negative remarks about photos of the people in there. Scrapbooks are intended for (mostly) pleasant memories and pronouncing negative things about the people in there will only make the individual viewing your book uncomfortable.
If you simply can't help yourself, create the book, get it out of your system and do not show it to a single person - you'll only come across as sour.
Write All Your Entries Like a five Year Old
While it might look like a good idea, trust me - it is not. What starts off as lovable and fun, quickly degenerates in an annoying and tough to read manner.
There's a reason you do not write like this anymore, so show everyone how far you have come by NOT doing this.
If you simply can't resist, include only one or two little short readable notes.
Include Recent Photos of You In Your Old School Uniform
This is just all kinds of wrong. While Brittany Spears made this look attractive, most likely you won't. It will just be ill-fitting and make you look bad.
So unless you are a pop star with the body to match, don't do it. This counts double-time for boys.
Add Each Detention and Note Sent Home From Teachers
OK, so you may have had a bad streak, many of us go through that defiant time, but don't go over the top with showing us precisely how bad you have been.
Stick to one page of notices at a maximum. Pick your favorite notes - it will get the point across without going to far.
So there you have it, an easy list you need to avoid with your next school scrapbook. Now if you'll pardon me, I need to go lie down.
