So, we shall skip to my prom rant. I'm not going this year, so you may say that I don't understand, but that's what makes this all the more fun. Basically, I just don't get the hype. Okay, it's a celebration of the end of your four years of high school. But you're about to go off to college or university, so why are you spending a huge chunk of your hard-earned money dwelling on the past? Take that five hundred dollar dress and turn it into a couple weeks worth of rent.
Prom is just one day. In the words of the great Quinn Fabray, you can get married as many times as you want, but you only get one chance to go to prom. So people get obsessed with making every detail perfect. Yes, I can understand doing that for a wedding. It's the beginning of the next forty years of your life if you're lucky. And prom definitely deserves to be celebrated too, but is maybe not worthy of all the drama.
My school's prom is tomorrow, and all I hear through the hallways is people bitching about how they wish their hair were longer, how they now hate the people they signed up for a table with a few weeks ago, how they don't have a date, and how their skin broke out.Suck it up, don't be a bitch, go stag with your friends, and get some makeup. I'm sure I'll see all this differently next year. But for now...
Live long, and prosper.
