I was an involved kid in high school. Tried to do everything, so yes! I went to prom, and had a great time. No pictures will be provided, though....
ReplyDeleteProm ugh was horrible half of the class came on a party bus so of course they were drinking and did not realize there was a breathalyzer at the dance,seeing over 60 people crying and sobbing in the hallway because they can't come in really puts a damper on all the happy memories lol!
ReplyDeleteMy prom was pretty decent, sadly nothing exceptional. I ditched my date cause I wanted to go solo and ended up dancing with my friends all night and having a good time. But the "after-party" experience was nothing like what I thought it would be
ReplyDeleteMy actual prom was pretty lame, but the after-party was a blast!
ReplyDeleteSenior Prom was so much better than Junior when I went with my ex because we had already paid.
ReplyDeleteAll I am going to say is that I should have taken my best guy friend (who was a Sophomore - and the reason I didn't) instead of the the guy I was kinda dating.
ReplyDeleteI was a smaller than my date on prom so when had our picture taken, I was made to stand on a box while our picture was taken on the makeshift studio!
ReplyDeleteMy senior prom was much better than my junior prom. Junior year a girl from a different school showed up in the exact same dress. I was peeved and therefore, horrible prom. Senior year I had a form fitting pink dress that puffed out at the hips. I looked amazing & had my hair styled like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast At Tiffany's. Lots of pictures and good memories from high school!
ReplyDeleteI've never actually been to prom. I planned on going this year, but I'm too sick to go. :(
ReplyDeleteProm wasn't bad! I really thought it would suck but I had a great time with my friends:)
ReplyDeleteI've never been to a prom, but I hope that it'll me memorable. :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't go to my prom :( I don't dance and I'm not one for dresses so I passed. I think I spent the night at work, how pathetic lol.
ReplyDeleteI only have vague memories on my prom. I wore a black gown with silver flowers on it and there was a lot of dancing. What I do remember was how badly it rained at the afterparty. Which was out in a farm field (small town girl over here) and we were all sleeping in tents. I woke in the biggest puddle (only to see that my boyfriend at the time was nice and cozy on the dry side!). Not the best experience but there were some smores in the morning when the rain stopped and that made up for it.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to prom. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI remember I was so proud that I earned the money to pay for my dress all on my own, even when my parents offered to buy it. For some reason that made my dress all the more beautiful to me :D
ReplyDeleteI remember someone set the centerpiece on fire...hilarious.
