A Definitive Timeline of Your Formal

A Definitive Timeline of Your Formal

With formal season soon approaching, you vow to stick to your gym routine and swear off junk food.

But then 3 am friday night comes around and you would want nothing more than a pizza to the face

The next step is finding a date which is a 2-part skill:

Part 1: Trying to get invited to a frat formal like...

Part 2: and then looking for someone to bring to yours...

Then have a 3 or 4 day internal debate of "Do I ask this cute guy in my class?"

Then decide to go with one of your guy friends because there's less stress and you know you two will have the best time and you won't have to babysit him all night

If you've scored the coveted invite to his formal, you have been handed the task of making "The Cooler". And at first you have so many ideas running through your head.

"It's going to be the best cooler anyone has ever laid eyes on." you think to yourself.

But then you realize your artistic ability stops at coloring books.

So you offer your first born child and a trip to chipotle to your artistic friend to help out.

The next step is finding the right outfit.

You've been procrastinating but finally order a dress online in the hopes that it'll be here in time for formal. But then it doesn't look as good as you thought it would and formal's in 3 days.

Now the day has come and you're already going over which poses to do for pictures, but then you pre game a little too hard and your pictures aren't all that you expected them to be.


You've lost track of time pre gaming with your friends and now you and your date have to run to make sure you make it to the busses and don't get left behind.

Then there's whatever sh*t show that occurs at the venue.

I feel like formal is kind of like Walmart in that you could be at an all time low and still not be the worst person there.

Except when you are the worst person there...then get ready for the email exec warned everyone about

Odds are, you'll end up losing your date every couple minutes and spending the majority of the time trying to find each other

Then, half way into formal, you're over it and just want to leave. Problem being that the busses don't leave for another hour and a half.

Lastly, inhale some well deserved munchies and recap the night.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

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!
