It's officially spring. That means puppies on the Quad, tours everywhere you look, and your formal is right around the corner.

Finding a dress, a date, and making plans for the day of, adds stress to your already hectic spring semester, so you try to start planning early. You look online for dresses, and maybe even try a few on, but you are too indecisive. On top of that, your bank account is still recovering from spring break so you hold off on buying anything.

But like always, you wait too long, and you end up having to borrow something from a friend.

Next, you work on finding a date, which is easier said than done. Should you ask a friend, or that guy that you sit next to you in your English class? And if either of those don't work out, there is always your best friend's older sister's boyfriend's little that you could ask.

Then, again, maybe you will just go alone. You will have more fun going with your friends, anyway.

Then, before you know it, formal is here (probably at the end of your most stressful week of the semester) and you could not be more ready for it.

You take pictures with your friends and take a second to appreciate the fact that you actually put effort into your appearance tonight (honestly, you should brush your hair more often) You also commend yourself on being able to walk so well in those five-inch heels, especially as you watch other girls trip down the stairs of the bus.

And odds are that there is at least one person that doesn't make it on the bus.

You tried to tell them to pull it together, but they never listen.

Eventually, you get on the bus and you are ecstatic to be able to sit down (you hate to admit that your feet are already killing you). But then you spend the whole ride praying that that someone doesn't break out the USA chant or, even worse, the recruitment chants because there is a time and a place for those. And it is most definitely not on the bus to formal.

Finally, you to make it to the venue, and you walk in with all of your friends. Things get a little weird, especially if any song from your Greek Sing music is played, but you decide to just embrace it

Of course, by the end of the night, you are very much ready to get out of there.

But the morning after you are reminded that you definitely surround yourself with some of the best people in existence and you wouldn't trade a night like formal for anything.
