class ring...

I was thinking about getting one, then I realised I would never wear it. Like ever. Besides, I can still get one later on at the local Jewlery store if I so desire.

I agree that it is a HUGE waste of money. All the rings that I looked at that I liked were like 364 dollars. Wtf?? I agree that it's cool to have memories and something materialistic to represent the years you spent in high school, but written word can be a lot more usefull than a chunk of metal. Like Dyne said...I would rather have people sign my year book, and I keep a journal so that is of a lot more value in my opinion.

However I WILL be getting a class ring. This may sound bizarre, but my mom is making me get one. She is going to pay for it of course, but she is still going to make me get a class ring.

I'm headed to the website here in a little bit to design mine. I'll post some pics when I get the one I want made.

In my high school it was mandetory that you buy a class ring We have a Jr. Ring ceremony (mass)at 7:00 at night)
I managed to lose mine pretty quicly after buying it, did find it again though-- it doesn't fit anymore (finger grew between 10th grade and soph year of college).

Anyhow, it is a waste of money, but get either the 3rd or the 1st, they match better, and with the sides being black, the blue doens't really work, and it makes more sense not to have ur name across the front.

Personally, I'm glad I got my class ring. While it was expensive and it may be materialistic, it's something that is unique to that time you spent in high school and something that will last a long time and can be passed down to your kids. Also, we had a cool ring ceremony and during the rest of our time at school afterwards, it was customary to wack each other on the head with our rings.
