A Look Back On HS Prom

Remembering the awkward times.

A Look Back On HS Prom
Victoria Dee

Everyone knows high school proms are happening now (if not you must not be on social media). But if you were to look back now on your old prom, what do you actually remember? As a girl do you remember the hundreds of dollars you spent to look perfect for an all too iconic prom photo? As a guy (or girl) do you remember the courage it took to ask your date? You don't remember the super awkward comments and jokes you made with your friend. You don't remember the mean kids making fun of you. You don't remember the high school rapper "performing". All you remember is how it was your night. That's the thing about college- you don't have those nights a lot. You don't have the opportunity to feel on top of the world a lot. There are people you meet in high school who will be your best friends for life. I still have my group, the five of us are inseparable. All the other high school moments don't matter. Your date being perfect doesn't matter in the long run. You having the perfect dress that no one else is wearing doesn't matter. All that matters is for one night you did not have to worry. For one night adulting didn't matter. Colleges needs those nights.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
