Prom Expectations

Prom in a nutshell

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!

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!
