I Almost Forgot the 100th Day of School… Until This Saved Me
I’ll be honest—I totally forgot about the 100th day of school last year. You’d think after all the reminder emails, I’d have my kid decked out in a Pinterest-worthy masterpiece. Instead? We showed up in a plain ol’ T-shirt while every other kid was wearing creative, pun-filled masterpieces. The shame.
This year? I vowed to be extra prepared—but in a fun, easy way (because I refuse to spend hours gluing googly eyes). So, if you’re scrambling for a hilarious 100th Day of School shirt idea, I got you. Here are 11 funny, punny, and super easy ideas to make sure your kid (or YOU, if you’re the teacher) steals the show.
1. “I Survived 100 Days of School… Barely”
- Get a white T-shirt, splash some red paint (fake blood, people!), and write this phrase across it.
- Add a few ripped edges for extra “survivor” vibes.
- Bonus: Mess up the hair for a true “I barely made it” aesthetic.
Why it works: Teachers will nod in agreement, kids will love the drama, and you’ll instantly be the funniest person in the room.

2. “100 Days? Piece of Cake!”
- Grab a pastel-colored tee and iron on or draw a giant slice of cake.
- Stick 100 sprinkles on it (paint, stickers, or even tiny pom-poms).
- Optionally, add the phrase: “100 days? Piece of cake!”
Why it works: It’s cute, punny, and reminds everyone that cake makes everything better.
