Check Yes or No...

Do you remember in high school when the biggest event of the year was Prom? I keep seeing the previews for Disney's new movie Prom, and I can't help but think about my proms. Let's just say they are nothing like the movies portray. When I was in high school, my favorite movie was "She's All That" with Freddie Prinze Jr. C'mon you know you watched it too! But seriously, why does Hollywood make proms look like the most spectacular night of your high school career? I am embarrassed to say I attended 4 proms...yes 4. One happened to be after I graduated and was a freshman in college. How lame is that? I went to 3 out of the 4 with boyfriends...and boyfriends I didn't really like all that much. I always wished I just would have gone with someone that was just a friend. I really think I would have had more fun, but instead I was worried that I was making my boyfriend mad because I was hanging out with my friends instead of him. Both of these boyfriends (one I went to two proms with) were older so they didn't know any of my friends. Anyhow, long story short...I sure do wish my prom was like the ones in the movies. No one really danced at our proms, and the most fun part was just being dressed up and getting your hair done. A girl can only dream...it reminds of that movie, "Not Another Teen Movie" (which makes fun of all the teen movies including "She's All That") in the prom scene where they say, "Didn't you know they were all professional dancers?" "It can happen, it can happen AT THE PROM tonight!"

  1. Prom was definitely not as magical as it looks in the movies!

  2. I tried to avoid proms like the plague. They were not my scene at all.

  3. There needs to be adult proms. Mostly because we're old enough now to appreciate it and I think everyone would benefit from a re-do...

  4. I think that's a great idea Sara! Then we'd have a reason to get all gussied up. :) Jessica-I probably should have avoided my proms too LOL!
