Prom Expectations

Prom in a nutshell

54
Prom Expectations

Prom is a formal event given by the school thrown at the end of the year. Prom is also what some might call "the most memorable night of their lives." Well, prom is anything but. Prom is nothing but a moment in time where you see the same people whom you've seen for four years gathered in one room dancing to Justin Bieber's latest hits.

1) The food

Do not be afraid or embarrassed to eat the different fruits and finger foods at the prom. In fact, there are what makes the prom even more of a good time. Image, after you finish dancing with your friends to your favorite song, then heading to the buffet of food to indulge in chocolate covered strawberries. Finishing it off with a cup of lemonade.

2) Don't wear heels just to take off

If you wear heels to the prom, fine, where heels, don't wear them for 20 minutes after you get to the location of the prom then decide to take them off due to the blisters forming on your feet. However, if you do decide to take them off make sure you put them in the coat room.

3) Use the coat room for storage

When you walk into prom with you ticket in hand, there will be a room where you can store your belongings such as coats, bags, shoes, and etc. I recommend that you use the coat room to store your belongings for safe keeping.

4) When in doubt, go with friends

Many people feel if they can't find a date to the prom or no one asks them, then there is no reason in going. You're wrong. If prom is so "special", wouldn't you want to share the experience with your closest friends anyway?

5) Do not expect the impossible

Please! Do not expect your crush to approach you at the last minute of the dance during the final song of the night and place one on you. Do not expect everyone to be dancing and having a good time. There will be people there, maybe some in your group, who will try and start trouble between others. What I am saying is, do not go to prom expecting a series of events to happen. Do not show up with expectations.

6) All hail your King and Queen

When the prom king and queen are crowned, it's the climax of the night. Not really!

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.
