10 Things College Students Miss About Prom

When you graduate high school you suddenly get a giant wave of nostalgia; all of the rude and obnoxious people you have known since Pre-K are now distant memories. However, you will eventually lose most of those nostalgic feelings...except when it comes to prom.

1. The anticipation.


Whether it is waiting to see where prom is being held, or just waiting for prom itself, you can't wait.

2. Going dancing with your friends.


If you're going to do your most embarrassing move, you may as well do it with your best friends.

3. The dress.


Dress shopping, hands down, is the best part about prom. You literally get to run through racks of amazing dresses that you may be able to wear on prom night.

4. The dress.

Honestly, there is NO NEED to spend a million and a half dollars on a dress. Thrift it up!

5. THE DRESS.

Hmm...did I forget to mention?

6. Flower shopping (kind of).

Finding beautiful flowers for the bouquet or corsage can be really fun...most of the time. Suddenly you're arguing with your date and the florist about what color ribbon you want and why. Be wary, at the florists.

7. Looking up "prom hair" tutorials on YouTube.


DIY is the best way (and the most cost-effective)!

8. Looking up "prom makeup" tutorials on YouTube.


"Did I use too much lipstick?"

9. Being able to look fancy for a night.


Pretending like you're on the red carpet at the Oscars is what prom is all about, right?

10. Going to dairy frost before the big night.

People in upstate, NY, you get it.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
