Admit it. Unless you were one of the sad people who peaked at age 17, you sucked in high school. That's just how it is. Those were the days before we realized the world doesn't revolve around us. The days when we thought we were hot shit. The days when, really, our ego couldn't have been more disproportionate from our level of cool. It doesn't even take soul searching to figure this out. Just look at some senior photos. They were full of douchey poses, forced brooding, and posing next to cars purchased by parents. It doesn't even matter how nice the car was. If it were shitty, then you just looked dumb posing next to it. And if it were nice, you just looked spoiled. See how bad of an idea it still is with 50 Awkward Senior Photos With Cars.

Sad
There is a very fine line between brooding and sad. It's a line this kid obviously does not know how to walk.
Field
A child of the corn.

Pockets
The hands-in-the-pocket look is supposed to be relaxed. This is not relaxed.

Country
He's just years away from getting revenge on you through petty fines and aggresive use of the force.
Subaru
"Make sure you bring the most boring piece of clothing you own. Yes, a brown argyle sweater is perfect."
Three
All that time in his mom's basement was spent learning how to clone himself.

Express
His shoes match his shirt and his rims match the car's accents. How cute. We'd expect nothing less from somebody who wears Express.

Polo
Is that Paul Wall's kid?

Viper
His pose dropped the resale value of these two cars by 30 percent.

Eclipse
James Van Der Beek got an Eclipse.

Sorry
I feel a bit guilty about including a kid I went to high school with, so I'll offer this: he was a really nice guy. But it's not a good look when I start this list and the first thing I can think of is his senior photo. Its awfulness has been seared into my brain for years.

Mercedes
"I eat horsepower for breakfest, bruh. Our housekeeper prepares it, along with a banana."
merica
We were dying to know the color of his belt.

Focus
Can't wait for the Vine of him trying to slide/roll across his hood on the way to picking up his first date.

Goober
Proof that wearing a suit doesn't transform you into Don Draper. To be fair, Draper also looked like a goober in his flashbacks.

Getaway
"What I want you to do for this one is act like a conspicuous getaway driver."
via
Truck
Who knew a filter could make this kid look even more white?

Mini
A Mini Cooper is acceptable for a high school girl. That hat, however, is acceptable on no one.
Ian
It wouldn't be fair to son these kids without showing my own awkward photo. In my defense, I took this as a joke, knowing a. how lame it is to take photos with cars and b. how lame my car is. Regardless, it's mad awkward and highlights how I looked 12 years old at 18. Now that I'm 21, I'm up to looking 17.
