The biggest day in every teenager's life. A day for all girls to feel like a princess.
I finally got to experience that day. Honestly, I could've went last year but I was unable to. So this year, I decided to go to my school's homecoming dance. I paid the ticket, bought a dress, and even had a nice pair of shoes waiting for me to wear since the day I got them. I was incredibly excited. Prior to the dance, my friends and I decided to meet up at one's house to take pictures and have the traditional homecoming dinner. We went to Kani House and ate at their hibachi grill.
But everything wasn't simple. Obviously, before all that, we had to get ready. As the only person in the group, I didn't know how to put on makeup so with the aid of my friends and mom, they put some nice makeup on me. It felt weird but to be honest, it felt magical. Mostly because the foundation covered up my acne but still. I felt like an actual princess. I did my hair sweet and simple: straight. And of course, to follow up with my hair, I had a black and simple lace dress to match. My hair color is naturally a dark brown so I thought that the black dress would look nice on me. And then I was picture ready.
(For my friends' privacy, I decided to cut them out of the pictures)
From the looks of this picture, if no one could tell that I was secretly in pain from my shoes, that would be great. But hey, what's a pretty heel if it doesn't hurt a bit?
Anyways, as we got to the dance, the music was blaring. From a range of songs such as "Closer" by the Chainsmokers to "I hate you I love you" by gnash, I'd say the music was pretty good. Although I was a bit shy to dance, I still had a great time seeing my other friends all dressed up. The area at homecoming was absolutely stunning. I wished I took more pictures but I guess I had too much fun to stop and think about pictures. But to explain it in words, I'd say the place was almost magical. The lights varied from blue to green and there were movies plastered all around the school. The fanciest decorations surrounded the room. But my favorite place of all? The courtyard. I absolutely loved the christmas lights on the bushes and how there were brilliant white and yellow lights shining on the dark atmosphere. It was absolutely breathtaking.
But aside from the decorations, the time I spent there, socializing and taking pictures, was mostly spent on walking around. My friends and I joked around, saw some old friends, and even took some goofy pictures of ourselves. We were the type of people who didn't dance as much. However, we did occasionally go to the dance floor and attempted to dance. Either way it was still a great experience. Heck, we even got to be in our DJ's vlog.
But all in all, homecoming was a magical night. It felt like I entered a Disney fairytale movie (without a prince). But hey, who needs a date when you got your friends with you? Regardless, homecoming was a thrill and I can't wait for next year's homecoming season.
