What Not To Do In A School Scrapbook

While you'd like your high school scrapbook to be personal and memorable there are still a number of things that you actually should try and avoid. I have noted some of these in here that may surprise you, but listen to me, if I hadn't seen it done already, they would not be in here.

Include The People You Don't like

There's nothing worse than taking a look at someone else's scrapbook and have them constantly make negative remarks about pics of the people in there. Scrapbooks are intended for (generally) pleasant memories and announcing negative things about the people in there will only make the individual viewing your book uncomfortable.

If you simply can't help yourself, finish the book, get it out of your system and do not show it to anyone - you will only come across as sour.

Write All Your Entries Like a five Year Old

Although it might seem like a great idea, trust me - it's not. What starts off as lovable and fun, quickly degenerates in an annoying and tough to read manner.

There is a reason you don't write like this anymore, so show everybody how far you've come by NOT doing this anymore.

If you simply can't resist, include only one or two little short readable notes.

Include Fresh images of You In Your Old College Uniform

This is just all shades of wrong. While Brittany Spears made this look hot, chances are that you will not. It'll just be ill-fitting and make you look silly.

So unless you are a pop star with the body to match, don't do it. This counts double-time for boys.

Add Every Detention and Note Sent Home From Teachers

OK, so you'll have had a bad streak, many folks go through that defiant period, but don't go overboard with showing us precisely how naughty you have been.

Stick to one page of notices at a maximum. Pick your favorite notes - it will get the point across without going over the top.

So there you have it, a simple list you should avoid with your next school scrapbook. Now if you may pardon me, I should go lie down.
