From Buying The Dress, To Finding The Perfect Date, Prom Is Worth It

The $100-$500 dress, the shoes that give you blisters, the stress of not knowing how to look and the fighting about making plans is worth it.

The DJ at my Junior prom was the actual worst expectation that you could have of one, he made remixes of all the today's hits and made slow songs fast. That was the only bad thing about my first prom experience. Other than that, I had a great date, great friends, and a great time.

Prom is worth it because for the day it feels like everything is about you. The dress you want to wear, the shoes you choose to torture you (excluding the girls that wear converse or vans), and how you want your hair and makeup. On top of all that every's parents are gathered around to take pictures just like you're on the red carpet.

The attention isn't only the best part, if you have a good date, it could be a fantastic night. Obviously, if you don't talk to the person you're going with it's going to be awkward so why put yourself in that situation? If you go to prom, go to have fun with friends or your boyfriend/girlfriend. Don't put yourself in a situation where you're going to have a bad time because you will get what you give.

Also, to the male dates that think they're only at prom for the show, you're wrong. You can hype yourself up and think about how look you look very handsome in a tux. Your date will love seeing you in it and guys don't get pictures of themselves as often as girls, so this is your time to get some great Instagram pictures.

In all honesty, to have an amazing night like prom night and to be looking so good, the money is worth it. Don't miss your senior prom because of a broken relationship, friendship, or because you don't have a date. Senior prom is the last dance of high school and the opportunity to dance around in a gym with the people you grew up with will never happen again. I hope you choose to go and I hope you have a wonderful time!

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.

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.
