I'm The Girl Who Is Skipping Prom And Your Opinion WON'T Change Mine

I am so over high school and just want to be done with it all.

It's prom season!! And you know what that means: Facebook dress group chats and your Instagram feed blowing up from everyone posting pics of their punny promposals and whatnot. However, the one thing not on my Insta feed this spring is a promposal.

Why, you may ask?

Well, because I’m not going to prom.

I will not lie, I love to get all dressed up, putting on a dress, and getting my hair and makeup done, but I am not going to my senior prom. I went to my junior prom and had a blast, but once is enough for me. It is not because I do not have a date, I actually had a few boys to pick from, I just do not want to go. I thought about it long and hard. "What if I regret it?" has been the most common question I asked myself. If I do not want to go now, why will I have wanted to go when I am 40?

Prom does not seem to be all it is cracked up to be. I am so over high school and just want to be done with it all. I want graduation to come sooner rather than later. What is the big deal about skipping prom? People say it is not worth the hassle of paying for everything. Prom is not the best thing about high school. Lacrosse games and getting McFlurry’s after football games was and will always be more my favorite memories and they are so much better than prom because it happened more than once.

I am happy with my decision not to go. My mom still has my dress in the basement incase I change my mind last minute, but I have a fun night planned with my girls that night.

You telling me that I will regret my decision and trying to force me to change my mind is not going to do me any good, no good at all. If you ever encounter someone, male or female, that does not want to go to their very own senior prom, do not push them.

You will only make them feel bad about their decision, do you really want that on your shoulders?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
