Formal season is coming up and If you’re in Greek Life then you know how important formal is. For those of you who are not in Greek Life, Formal is really just a more laid-back prom, but you’re in college now. This is great though, I personally loved prom, it was an opportunity to get dressed up, dance, and have an overall good time.

Honestly, what could be better? The answer is nothing. Unlike in high school where you had your prom king and queen, which in my high school the teachers voted on (weird right?), at your respective organizations formal awards are given out, and not just your bland “Best Brother/Sister” but actual fun awards based on inside jokes.

Now, I’m not saying that formal is for everyone. Not everybody wants to shell out a decent portion of money to bring a date you may have met on tinder or barely know, and that’s understandable. But the experience is supposed to be fun, your formal date can be a complete stranger, just have fun with it. If you go by yourself, have fun and go out there and kill it by yourself. College is filled with tons of boring things, like finals, class, and a lot of other work. So go find the things that are supposed to be fun and just have the time of your life and as a wise man once said “Till the break of dawn, yo.”
