All-Girls Catholic School Prom

A wonderful evening that no one wants to go to again.

1. Finding a young male date:

Now it wouldn't seem that difficult now, would it? Talk to a couple boys, find one nice enough to accompany you for the evening, but no. Prom is a very stressful process - somewhat like babysitting. The night is much easier if your date has other friends there, if not it is just you and you have to keep them entertained the whole entire night.

2. The dress:

Because we all go to a catholic school there isn't a ton of people, so finding your own dress shouldn't be that hard. But it is. Finding a dress that meets the "guidelines" is not as easy as it seems. Especially when they send out the new rules two weeks before prom because that's when everyone buys their dress right? Nothing is better than a $400 dress that you can't return.

3. Pre Party:

With an approximate 50 girls in a grade you would think we could simply divide in two, maybe three. Or maybe the unthinkable have everyone in one place. With all girls pre-parties are very "shh don't tell anyone we might offend them." But in all actuality it's ridiculous that we can't have a gathering where all of us are together to take pictures.

4. Prom:

You walk in getting looked up and down at your dress. After that, we have the "most fun" we can have by performing the dance moves we have practiced during the middle of a study, or maybe even a physics class. But it is also the longest four hours in your entire life. A nice evening that no one would want to go to again.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
