Formals are the events college girls look forward to all semester. We're past the days of high school proms and homecomings, but we can't go more than 6 months without an occasion to dress up. While it's not exactly like a high school dance (the dressers are shorter, heels are higher, and the memories are a little blurrier), we still want to be queens for at least one night. When formal rolls around we channel our inner Queen Bee's and conquer the dance floor.

3:00 p.m.

You've been laying on the couch all day, beyond anxious to get ready, but you don't want to jump the gun and be ready too soon.

4:30 p.m.

All of your patience goes out the door- time to get glam.

6:00 p.m.

Somehow you've managed to get ready in record time. Shower? Check. Makeup? Check. Hair? Check. Dress and heels? Check.

6:05 p.m.

Fidget with your makeup some more because you're starting to notice flaws... or you're just bored.

6:30 p.m.

Finally time to pregame! You basically sprint to your girlfriend's house to meet up with your squad. Perfect time to take pictures while everyone is still in one piece.

7:55 p.m.

You show up to formal fashionably late and head straight to the dance floor.

10:30 p.m.

It's probably time for bed... let's be honest here.

10:45 p.m.

BUT WAIT, PIZZA!!! That's what dates are for, right??

11:05 p.m.

You finally make it to bed with a full face of makeup and probably your heels still on. You had a good run, kid.
