Yearbook Quotes for Graduating Seniors

Graduation years are both special and important in the lives of students, and a yearbook helps commemorate this golden period. Yearbook quotes are beautiful sayings, thoughts and ideas that are printed below or near the pictures of the seniors.

Students enjoy loads of liberty in choosing their own quotes, although college authorities have strict regulations in terms of the language used and the thoughts expressed.

Vulgar language and hurting remarks are not allowed and it is expected from the students, that they submit quotes and thoughts that highlight their personality, achievements, attitude, goals and any inherent talents that they possess. For example, if someone has the gift of expression, then the person can pen down a few lines of poetry, etc.

Similarly, if an individual has a keen sense of humor, he too can express his versatility by including humorous quotes. However, one thing should be kept in mind that these quotes will get a place in the yearbook and they will form a tag-line or a punch line of your educational career, so choose something that really shows off the real you!
