Top Ten Reasons Why Making a Yearbook is like Making a Baby

Top Ten Reasons Why Making a Yearbook is like Making a Baby

The process takes about 9 months. If it takes any longer, it becomes very
painful.

The process is exciting at the very beginning and at the end, but gets
monotonous and tiring in the middle.

No matter how much you read or talk to so-called experts, you’re never
really prepared for what happens.

It’ll always cost more than you thought.

People are always giving you advice, but aren’t willing to actually help
out.

People always wanna know how big it’s gonna be.

When things aren’t going perfectly, there’s sometimes vomiting, morning
sickness, and sleepless nights.

In the middle of the process you swear that you never wanna do this ever
again.

If you do drugs during the nine months, it’ll come out funny looking.

Neither proofs nor sonograms show you what it’ll really look like.

Even though you think you know what it’ll look like, you’re quite
anxious to see it when it actually comes out.

No matter how calm you normally are, you yell out for painkillers near
the end of the process.

The process requires some rather funny-looking tools (i.e. croppers,
forceps).

When it finally does come out, everyone congratulates you and wants to
see it.

Once it comes out, it’s yours to keep. You cannot send it back

After the next one comes out, people think the new one is cute, and don’t
really pay any attention to the older one anymore.

After you’ve done it more than three times or so, people start telling
you that you must be crazy.
