Thoughts from a Junior: A Look at Prom

I bought my dress in February, started planning in March, and was ready by noon. I was excited. I hadn't slept or ate much in the last two days because of the butterflies that wouldn't leave me the heck alone. I spent money, boy did I spend money, I borrowed and bought and used all my resources to have this perfect experience, and y'know? It wasn't all that. It was great, don't get me wrong. It was pretty and nice and fun, but it didn't win a gold metal for me. I didn't walk away in the same daze that I had come in with. The before stuff, the getting ready, the changing, all of that was more fun than the actual prom prom. So maybe I wasted money and time, maybe I should have tried a little harder to get a date. But I will still go next year, I will still buy my ticket and walk in with higher hopes than my heels.
