Prom is one thing most high school seniors can't wait to go to. Prom is fun because it is one way of celebrating the struggling and sacrifices you have made in high school. Make prom worth it. Below are some Do’s and Don’t of prom.

Do not try to be extra late to prom.

It is a somehow a social norm for some student to go to prom late. However, you don't want to be so late that you do not get to enjoy the celebration. My friend went to her prom at 10:30 p.m. when it was supposed to end at 12:00 a.m. The celebration was almost over. Especially if you want to contest for best dress or the prom queen. You don't want to go that late to prom because you may want to advertise or show off with your dress.

Do dance with your teachers if you can.

Prom is an environment which does not discriminate. Teachers who come to prom act like students because they want the students to be comfortable and have fun on their big day. Take advantage of this opportunity and dance with your teacher if they are available. Dancing to for instance salsa with your teacher creates a more casual relationship between you too. It is where you get to see your teachers on another level. You get to see the party side of them. I bet you would always smile when you remember a day like that any day.

Do get all dressed up! This is the time to look the cutest.

Prom is the day everyone wants to take pictures because it is a big day and it only happens once. I started dreaming about prom from my junior year. It is the day that you want your classmates to see you and say, “damn girl/boy.” You should obviously all the time but on prom day, add extra juice and sauce to it.

Don't be shy to be yourself or be crazy.

Prom tickets are expensive so if you paid to get there, you might as well be in the moment.There is space for shyness during prom. Everyone is busying getting crazy dancing, grinding or talking to their “newfound crushes.” Never be scared to be yourself. Actually, at prom, everyone is busy doing their own thing so it's either you join the fun or sit down rolling the screen of your phone which is kinda boring. One fun memory is when you think you have done enough so you are going to sit down but then the DJ decides to play your favorite song. OMG! The joy you immediately get is overwhelming. hahahahaha.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
