15 Senior Picture Poses We Should "Leave To The Ladies"
Lucas Kelderman

Fall is the best time of year for senior pictures, in my opinion. All the photo ops around us; but guys, let's try and leave some of these poses for us ladies. No harsh feelings, just know that we pull them off better.

Ahhh. The half face close up. Classic. (sorry, but you're not as shady as you think you are)


Unless you're a "casually sittin' on a park bench" sort of guy, let's avoid this pose.


Something about this pose just doesn't work. Maybe its the arm, or the lack of hair. Who knows?


These actually, maybe sorta work. Maybe. It's probably the hair. Give them a go if you're a brave soul.


Okay. Either the jeans are too tight or the legs don't naturally bend like that, but nothing about this looks comfortable. Move on.


Again with the park bench. Avoid at all costs. (And the crossed ankles? Please.)


Typically a glamour shot, with the long hair flowing and a little breeze. But hey, no hair. No glamour.


Boys, let's agree to leave the tree leaning to a minimum. (no matter how cute and cheesy your smile is)


Who isn't a sucker for cute fall senior pics? Right? Wrong. Let's try and keep the leaves on the ground boys.


That's it. Park benches are no longer allowed. Cut. Zip. Done.


When a girl poses like this we think "oh, cute and playful." With a guy we move on to a little creepy.


DOES NO ONE LISTEN


Do you have a headache? Are you confused? We don't know. Without the hair between your fingers and a shy smile, this pose does not work.


A classic pose. Aaaalmost works. This one is a toss up.


If you feel uncomfortable while taking the picture, we probably feel uncomfortable when looking at it.


(Huge thanks to my more than willing models, and outstanding photographer.)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
