Take Your Prom Memories To College

lori | May 5, 2010

Prom has perfect timing.

Right in the midst of your stress about whether you’re making the right college decision – or wondering if you’re going to get off the wait list for your top choice – the big event arrives. Sure, preparing for prom (or “the prom,” as we say in the Northeast) can be stressful, too, but when the night arrives, you and your glammed-up self get to kick back, hang out with friends, laugh, and dance away your worries.

“You’re queen for a day,” Blair O’Brien, a junior at Mary Institute St. Louis Country Day School in Missouri told the Associated Press. “For girls, prom is an all-day event where you get your hair done, nails done, and constant pampering.”

And if prom is a big deal for you, be thankful you are able to have one this year. You may remember that a Mississippi school canceled prom after a gay student wanted to bring her same-sex date to prom.

This could be your last big formal event for a while. Although your social life may include sorority and fraternity formals and semi-formals, none will actually match the same experience as prom. After all, springtime in college is more focused on surviving exams than finding a prom date and shopping for the right dress.

So don’t less the stress of prom or other  senior duties get you down. You will soon be moving onto other stage of your life and memories like prom can’t be replaced.
