Prom Expectations

Prom in a nutshell

Mar 29, 2016

Prom is a formal event given by the school thrown at the end of the year. Prom is also what some might call "the most memorable night of their lives." Well, prom is anything but. Prom is nothing but a moment in time where you see the same people whom you've seen for four years gathered in one room dancing to Justin Bieber's latest hits.

1) The food

Do not be afraid or embarrassed to eat the different fruits and finger foods at the prom. In fact, there are what makes the prom even more of a good time. Image, after you finish dancing with your friends to your favorite song, then heading to the buffet of food to indulge in chocolate covered strawberries. Finishing it off with a cup of lemonade.

2) Don't wear heels just to take off

If you wear heels to the prom, fine, where heels, don't wear them for 20 minutes after you get to the location of the prom then decide to take them off due to the blisters forming on your feet. However, if you do decide to take them off make sure you put them in the coat room.

3) Use the coat room for storage

When you walk into prom with you ticket in hand, there will be a room where you can store your belongings such as coats, bags, shoes, and etc. I recommend that you use the coat room to store your belongings for safe keeping.

4) When in doubt, go with friends

Many people feel if they can't find a date to the prom or no one asks them, then there is no reason in going. You're wrong. If prom is so "special", wouldn't you want to share the experience with your closest friends anyway?

5) Do not expect the impossible

Please! Do not expect your crush to approach you at the last minute of the dance during the final song of the night and place one on you. Do not expect everyone to be dancing and having a good time. There will be people there, maybe some in your group, who will try and start trouble between others. What I am saying is, do not go to prom expecting a series of events to happen. Do not show up with expectations.

6) All hail your King and Queen

When the prom king and queen are crowned, it's the climax of the night. Not really!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.
