4 Reasons Why I Never Need A Prom Night
Kebin Young

Everyone loves prom! It's the best night of all time, but I have never experienced it. After my sophomore year of High School I decided to do online high school. Long story short it never worked out and I am currently getting my GED. I realized today I never even needed to go to prom.

1: I'm not the Dress, Heals, Girl

I like to dress up for church and other events but I never liked to wear dresses for that long. High heals go in the mud, so why would I wear them if I can't keep them clean? I'm the country girl that loves the outdoors!

2: I Can Not Dance

I do not know how to dance. Prom is a fancy dance for teenagers. It's funny that I wanted to go so bad and I do not even know how to dance!

3: I Wanted The Perfect Guy to Invite Me

Both years in high school I wanted a guy so bad to ask me to Homecoming or Prom. I guess God has different plans for me in life! I was never asked to go to prom by the "perfect guy", but I was asked by the guy of my dreams to marry him and spend our lives together! One year later I finally realized all the things in life I wanted or want I never needed. What I needed was right in Front of me the whole time.

4: Who I Really Am

Saturday was Benton' s prom night. My husband and I had went on a walk, and then went to Benton park. I was wearing workout clothes that I was always embarrassed to wear. I didn't know what others would think. Especially all the girls that alwaying thought they were better than me. Well Saturday evening my husband tried to teach me how to play tennis. I made a fool out of my self right in front of people taking prom pictures and I did not care because I was happy to be me in front of someone I love in public!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
