15 Best SCenior Portraits

By Grace Carballo ‘17

I think the phrase “hate to see you go, but love to watch you leave” really sums up nicely my feelings about this year’s graduating class; I hate that you won’t be around campus, but I sincerely love your glamour grad shots- you’ve really outdone yourselves!

In the spirit of graduation, I’d like to give one last honor to 15 of the best graduation photos of the Class of 2015. Though this recognition may not mean as much to you as your diploma, the ingenuity, wit, and artistry you have shown in your poses demonstrates just as much, if not more so, how ready you are for the real world. 

So here they are- the top 15, in no particular order because they’re all rad and very #USCGrad.

1) the life lessons, just as valuable as the classroom ones 

2) why be SCentimental when you could be SCelebrating?

3) Walk Your Bikes! 

4) roll up to SCene

5)  pose perfection - (note the unsuspecting passerbys)

6) why so SCerious

7) ~one with the SCenery~

8) triumphant with Traveler

9) a throwBacK to Birnkrant

10) SCholarly until the very end

11) impressive pose consistency 

12) less pose consistency, but impressive hat havoc 

13) #sashtag

14) one reign ending, another rain beginning 

(caption stolen from this #USCGrad, too good not to repeat)

15) may your education sustain you, as Taco Bell has

Wow, what a class! Congratulations to all the winners and if you are wondering how I stumbled across your photo, your social media privacy settings may not be as good as you had hoped. 

Seriously, though, all of these photos deserve this recognition and more so if you want to see them on the jumbotron at graduation, remember to use #USCGrad and really feel free to just add an S or a C to any word if it SCuits you because your degree gives you credibility.

Congrats to the Class of 2015! 

Fight on forever,

Grace
