Prom is one thing most high school seniors can't wait to go to. Prom is fun because it is one way of celebrating the struggling and sacrifices you have made in high school. Make prom worth it. Below are some Do’s and Don’t of prom.

Do not try to be extra late to prom.

It is a somehow a social norm for some student to go to prom late. However, you don't want to be so late that you do not get to enjoy the celebration. My friend went to her prom at 10:30 p.m. when it was supposed to end at 12:00 a.m. The celebration was almost over. Especially if you want to contest for best dress or the prom queen. You don't want to go that late to prom because you may want to advertise or show off with your dress.

Do dance with your teachers if you can.

Prom is an environment which does not discriminate. Teachers who come to prom act like students because they want the students to be comfortable and have fun on their big day. Take advantage of this opportunity and dance with your teacher if they are available. Dancing to for instance salsa with your teacher creates a more casual relationship between you too. It is where you get to see your teachers on another level. You get to see the party side of them. I bet you would always smile when you remember a day like that any day.

Do get all dressed up! This is the time to look the cutest.

Prom is the day everyone wants to take pictures because it is a big day and it only happens once. I started dreaming about prom from my junior year. It is the day that you want your classmates to see you and say, “damn girl/boy.” You should obviously all the time but on prom day, add extra juice and sauce to it.

Don't be shy to be yourself or be crazy.

Prom tickets are expensive so if you paid to get there, you might as well be in the moment.There is space for shyness during prom. Everyone is busying getting crazy dancing, grinding or talking to their “newfound crushes.” Never be scared to be yourself. Actually, at prom, everyone is busy doing their own thing so it's either you join the fun or sit down rolling the screen of your phone which is kinda boring. One fun memory is when you think you have done enough so you are going to sit down but then the DJ decides to play your favorite song. OMG! The joy you immediately get is overwhelming. hahahahaha.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
