Tenth Post

Wow my tenth post ... its a mile marker I guess.
But I need suggestions from my viewers, do you think I should stop naming all my posts with numbers?

Class Rings:

Does anyone really know the big deal behind class rings? It does have a lot symbolic meaning in some cases. Like when a guy gives you his class ring its like your are publicly displaying that you are a couple. But who would want to give something that expensive to a girl? (Don't get me wrong I in High school I would have loved for a guy to give me a class ring!)

And now there are many different styles. Ones for girls, one for guys, you can have your name on it, you can have it engraved, you can put two symbols on both sides of the ring, and you can have your year of graduation on it. But are the rings really important?

Everyone wants a class ring it seems but who can really afford to get one? They are really expensive. So class rings seem like several things to me:

1. Public displays of affection (when guy gives ring to Girlfriend)
2. Flashy
3. Expensive (A way for people to say "Hey look I have money!")
4. A one time thing (Do people ever wear their class ring after high school is over?)
5. Why the different styles. (It is almost sexist, the styles for the girls look almost like an engagement ring in stead of a class ring, I don't want that on my finger in High school! What ever happened to the classic Class ring?)
