For students who want to remember their years spent in HS, take your own pictures! Most students only rely on their school’s yearbook to capture their memories, but we all know yearbooks never give every students equal amount of attention.
The majority of students only end up on one page, the one with their class photo. Don’t let that happen to you! Another school year has started which means it’s the perfect time to start taking your own pictures. Here are a few tips to help you capture the perfect HS memories!!!

1. If you don’t have a camera don’t get discouraged! Your phone or MP3 player probably has a camera built into it. The quality may not be as great, but years down the line you won’t care. You’ll just be happy you have pictures to look back on.
2. Take pictures of yourself! Make sure you ask your friends and other students to take your photograph. When you get busy taking pictures it’s easy to get left out. You can even take a photo of yourself every morning on your computer and watch how you change through the year!
3. Don’t just photograph your friends! You may think that the only students you should photograph are your friends, but trust us you should take pictures of as many students as you can. You never know what students you may start a friendship with after HS, which students will go on to become celebrities, or which students will become astronauts.
4. Keep your photographs organized! Once you start taking a lot of photos don’t forget to name the files and save them to a hard drive. (For digital photos). If you only store them on your computer they will eventually get lost. A great way to ensure that you won’t lose them is to give copies to friends and family! Don’t be the only person with the files or negatives.
5. Don’t forget your camera! If your camera isn’t built into your phone, it will be easy to forget it. It’s a good idea to set a reminder on your phone or write a note to yourself so you never leave it behind.
