Its That Time of Year Again

 

Prom can be defined as "a formal dance, especially one held by a class in high school at the end of a year." Prom night is nothing short of one of my favorite high school memories. Everything about it made my heart completely happy. I was lucky enough to go to two proms; even though I never went to my own high school prom, it was perfect. There are many parts that come to putting together an unforgettable prom night including to the date, the dress and the atmosphere.

The Date:
The person who you go to prom with is no small thing. The person not only attends prom with you but they get to have that experience of prom with you. Most people can tell you who they took to prom. It is a special night that is a high school milestone. For example, I got to attend prom twice with my boyfriend at the time, Josh. It was the most memorable night because we made the most of it. He was the perfect gentleman.  Recently the expectations for getting asked in a unique has increasingly grown more extreme year after year. Boy find themselves asking girls to prom in creative ways because of the immense pressure of the promposal standard. They are called "promposals." Here is an example a cute "promposal."

The Dress:

For girls, the dress is one of the most important aspects. It describes and captures you as a young adult. It is an opportunity to dress in a beautiful gown. For example, my first prom dress was a perfect description of who I am as a person. To feel that elegant and beautiful at that age is so important. To feel that way in high school on a normal day can sometimes be uncommon. Mary Lambert once said, "Just because you're not thin does not mean you're ugly. You are beautiful because of the light you carry inside you. You are beautiful because you say you are, and you hold yourself that way." Feeling elegant, comfortable and yourself has to be one of the best feelings.


The Atmosphere:
 The venue, lights, music and attitude is what makes the actual prom experience awesome. Everything leading up to prom is nothing compare to stepping into the hall or ballroom. It feels magical.  For example, Josh went to an all boy private. At his prom, I didn't know anyone else there except him and a couple of his friends. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. It made it more special. We danced all night to music that made you never want to stop.


All and all, prom is a memorable milestone in high school.
