Prom, also known as one of the best nights of your high school career, is literally right around the corner.

As my little sister is prepping way more in advance than I ever did I felt as if it was important to provide others with the same checklist as I did for her.

DO NOT HOLD THESE THINGS OFF! I did it every year, and I literally cannot stress enough how much better you'll feel about going if you don't put everything off until the very last minute.

Let's just hope that you other girls just aren't as forgetful as I am.

Looking back, no wonder prom always stressed me out. I would always forget about everything I needed to do until a week before the event.

My advice: don't do anything like me, and start planning ahead.

The dress

Literally the most important part of the whole event, and every time I would wait until the week before prom to get my dress.

DO NOT BE LIKE ME!

You've got to consider whether or not you'll need any alterations. Plus, the longer you wait, the fewer choices you have.

Hair and make-up appointments

If you haven't already you need to book these babies NOW.

Different proms for schools near you typically go on at the same time, and girls at those schools always end up booking appointments at the same places too.

So just think, hundreds of girls at your school, plus hundreds of girls somewhere else all trying to book appointments at the same place, around the same time.

It's just a disaster trying to get an appointment somewhere the week before prom, so don't even think about it.

Nails

For some reason, the nails always seemed to slip my mind until I'd hear someone else talking about it.

Most nail salons take walk-ins, but I know they'd appreciate it if they were given a heads-up at least a couple days before you come in.

Shoes

For some reason, I would always forget about the shoes too. One year I literally bought my shoes the day before prom. Don't do that to yourself either.

Plus, you've gotta have time to practice your model walk.

Jewelry

Okay, maybe I'm just forgetful because the jewelry would always be the last thing I'd get too.

I 10/10 recommend buying it when you buy your dress though just because you can see exactly how the two would look together, but that's just me.

Flowers

prom flowers

Go order those now while you're thinking about it.

Most importantly: DON'T FORGET TO PICK THEM UP! It's actually easier to do than you would think. I am speaking from experience.

The date

prom date

I've gone to prom with someone, and I've been by myself. Honestly, you'll have the same amount of fun either way. It's just your personal preference.

The car

pull up in car

Some people don't make a big deal out of this, but I know my high school did.

Book your whip now if you're wanting to arrive in something other than your normal, everyday car.

After-prom plans

shots

Some people prefer iHop, others prefer parties.

It doesn't really matter as long as you're making your after-prom plans at least a couple days before-hand so you and your friends aren't sitting in the parking lot wondering what you're gonna do for the rest of the night.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
