How to Make Your Prom a Night to Remember

Your Junior and Senior Proms are some of the biggest highlights of high school. Whenever I reflect on those four years, I always think of the wonderful memories Prom gave me! If you want to look back on your Prom fondly, here's what I suggest:

Find ways to look good for less

Prom can be an expensive affair, especially if you're a girl. With the dress, shoes, hair, and makeup, the dollars will really add up. But you don't have to spend a bunch of money to look your best! When looking for your dress and shoes, try checking stores others normally wouldn't think twice about finding their perfect outfit, like Windsor or Delia's. Or you could even borrow some from your friends!

As for hair and makeup, you can ask your mom, siblings, friends, or even neighbors to do it for you. Or if you're actually good at one of these things, do them yourself! I did my own makeup and I ended up saving around $30-50!

Eat/drink something before you go

Most Proms don't serve dinner, so make sure you eat something! The venue will get hot and you don't wanna pass out! You also don't wanna be hungry while dancing, because that's no fun


Take as many pictures as you can

Though it can be annoying as you stand around to take pictures, you're going to thank yourself! Later in life, you'll be happy you have these pictures, as they'll fill your mind with memories.

Go with who youwant to go with

Don't feel pressured to go with a date if you don't want to go with him/her, or with a date at all. It's your night, so if you'd rather just go with a group of friends, then do it! Or if you want to go with a date, then do that too! You don't wanna end up spending Prom in the bathroom because you're having a terrible time!

Don't worry about what other people think

This is your time to shine. You only get to go to one, if not two proms during high school. So if you wanna go crazy on the dance floor, wear the wackiest dress, or eat all the food at the snack bar, do it! Have fun!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
