7. I Was A Super Band Geek (Yes, This Is Me)

The author's personal funny school picture (one of many) showing off what a tremendous band geek she was.

I didn’t think it was fair to make fun of other people’s school pictures without including one of my own. This is my 8th-grade band geek picture. I insisted on having them taken in my band uniform with my trombone. There are several others, as I also played tuba, euphonium, French horn, and trumpet. My mother bought them all. I have them from junior high (now middle school) to high school. I look particularly striking in my high school marching uniform and bucket hat with a HUGE plume. I’ll save those for another day. That bowl-cut hairdo served me well for many years.

8. We All Know This Face — It Started With This Picture

One of the most memed faces on the internet. The frustrated pajama kid when his mom mixed up picture day and pajama day.

This poor kid is probably one of the most memed images on social media. That look of resignation on his face is just too much. The first posting we could find was dated April 4, 2014. We aren’t 100 percent sure where the original came from. Ten years on the internet makes it really difficult to trace. The look on his face is because his mom got school picture day and pajama day mixed up. We all feel you, pajama kid.
