Prom is right around the corner and with prom comes so much stress among students. Many people that are attending prom are still frantically trying to get some last minute things. With everything that is “required” for prom, there are many things that have to be accomplished in a short amount of time. Dresses, tuxes, dinner, shoes, and so many more things that have to be taken care of before the big day.
Kaitie Connelly, a sophomore, is starting to get used to the stresses of prom after already being there once before and getting prepared for her second trip to the big dance. “I got my dress about two months ago and I bought my shoes and jewlery a couple weeks ago,” Kaitie commented. However, just feeling like you have everything done, doesn’t mean things can’t go wrong. “I tried my shoes on the other night and they didn’t fit! I still have to return them and find new ones and I only have two days,” Kaitie commented. Not only that has gone wrong, but Kaitie’s group still hasn’t decided where they are going for dinner that night. Some people may say that prom isn’t something to lose sleep over, but for the majority of the population, stress is inevitable. Also for some seniors, prom is something that people wait all year for and when the day finally arrives they don’t want anything to go wrong. Prom is just a dance, but it’s also a night to make some of the last memories of high school for seniors. Now, Kaitie isn’t a senior, but she thinks it’s better if you have some experience with prom before you’re a senior so that you can make sure you have an absolutley perfect prom that year.
Kaitie hopes that next year nothing with go wrong and maybe by the time she’s a senior, she’ll have this prom thing down! She is still trying to work out some things for this year, but she expects prom to be everything she has in mind. One can only hope that everything will turn out perfectly for not only Kaitie, not only the seniors, but everyone who plans on attending prom this year. One thing that is for sure, prom is certain to be a memorable night for everyone.
