Prom Expectations

Prom in a nutshell

70
Prom Expectations

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!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
