It was once a dream for me to have a class ring after a graduated from college. Kids these days do not know about class rings anymore.
Back in the day, young couples in high school would exchange class rings and for the ladies, these are usually worn as a necklace’s pendant. If you wore one, that means you are in a relationship with the person who owns the ring.
This petite class ring for girls is something that I would have if I was only given the time and opportunity to hear the words: “design your class ring”
Ahhh…high school days.

Our home is filled with music especially on non-school days like weekends. The two younger one both play the guitar. The boy has gotten a beat box for his birthday last month. Big sis plays the keyboard like the man of the house though they rarely play these days. The children can be oftentimes seen during their downtime (after studying or before they sleep) with their earphones or headsets listening to their favorite songs.
It is but a common thing for us to tell certain聽music stores to “Send for our free catalog.” whenever we drop by their stores.
In fact, a new full-sized guitar is being included in the budget for purchase 聽after all school obligations have been paid for next month.
