It's tonight!
What with the fancy dress and dance music and the punch and the decorations, that surely are all meant to secure some amount of nostalgia in your impending future of depression and unemployment?When I ask most adults about their high school experiences, about 20% of their entire story is usually about this one 0.025% of their entire time in high school.And why wouldn't it?I mean, if you're going to party with so many of your friends and classmates and are statistically equally likely to get laid on that night as the rest of the year, what's not to love?Except for the fact that I'm not going.It's a shame, really. Although I totally wanted to be that one eyesore wearing a t-shirt with cutoffs because I couldn't afford any more than the size 16 dress shoes.At least there's plenty of afterparties that I can rock tonight, such as that of my ex-girlfriend. Prom here only ends at midnight, after all!I'll be sure to go next year, it'll be my last chance. Part of me has always wanted to go, boyfriend-less, to a fancy school-sanctioned event and chug fruit punch vodka.
I'm only attending my upcoming graduation dance for the food and unlimited soda.
There's alcohol there too but I don't drinkAt the risk of repeating myself, I have this to say:
I only have two regrets in my life. The first is Junior Prom. The second is Senior Prom.Good on you for not going.I did Junior Prom in a duct tape suit. So I don't share Polyman's pain.
I didn't go to mine, went to somethin else, can't remember what. I regret nothing.
i skipped prom cuz i didn't have any friends in high school
true fact.I went to mine and got drunk after. I went to a party with what I guess would be considered the popular kids out of the "white half" of our highschool. It was okay. Pretty tame for what I was used to both liquor and event wise.
Yeah, prom isn't really a big deal. It's kid stuff.I have a badge on this site for 205 friends.
But I'm not going to my prom.Because I have no friends.I skipped mine as well. My female friend was setting me up with her friend, but I decided my male friend should go with her instead because he seemed to care about going to prom more.
Also, tickets were expensive, and I wanted to buy something I can't remember at the moment.I also regret nothing.Wait, people actually go to proms? At my high school before last1 almost everyone just went to the same house parties they go to every other weekend anyway.
1because my current high school is an alternative school with twenty people in it and at the high school before that I almost literally never talked to anyone.
