Prom....

So I think it would be appropriate for me to inform all of my lovely ladies still in high school that Prom is not like it is in this movie.

It can be a magical night but not because of the dress or the boy or any of that stuff. It doesn't matter what boy you go with or who you don't go with. It's about going with people you love and spending a magical night with them, about creating memories with those friends.

If I had to do it over again I would go alone. I would skip the 50$ dinner and skip the after party(yes I just said I'd skip the after party) I would instead eat at home with my friends and instead of going to somebody's house party I'd drive to the beach. I think I've realized that prom however glorious and magical cannot ever hope to live up to the expectations we as a generation make up for it. I really don't know anymore why I thought it was this huge life altering experience. I had a blast mind you, but sometimes I wish I could go back and re-do it with only a few expectations for it (but the dress would have to still be flawless) (as a fashion major I'm required to say that ;) )

So ladies go. Go because its a chance for you to spent time with people you may never see again after high school. Go because you want to dance. Go because of the dress. But don't go because you envision it as this over dramatized fantasy that will alter your universe and propel you towards your future husband.

Now go and dazzle in that gown girlies!!
