I'm a junior girl this year and am going to prom for the first time! I don't have a date but am going with some friends! I am so excited. But are there any tips or advice I need? I have already practiced hardcore walking in my heels, have a dress, and a hair and make up appointment. What I want to know is what is actual PROM like?
At your school, is your homecoming dance fancy or casual?
At my school the homecoming is casual, but we also have a semi-formal dance.
The best way I know how to explain it is homecoming but for juniors and seniors only.
At my schools prom, it's just a dance where we are extra fancy in out attire. Sure, the decorations are usually pretty nice and it's a bit nicer than most school dances, but that's really all it is.
If I could do it over again, I probably would only go to my senior prom. (For some reason, seniors always have more fun at prom).
Maybe I feel this way because at my junior prom there were more sophomores there than anything [you know, from upperclassman bringing their underclasmmen dates].
My prom last year felt more like a regular dance and less special, which is why I didn't enjoy it as much.
Don't get me wrong, prom is a blast, but most people go with too-high of expectations.
Then again, it differs from school to school. There are some schools around here that have AMAZING proms. People from all over try and find dates from those schools to get to go. I suppose it really all depends on the school.
I will say that you already have the basics down though. Walking in heels was the biggest pain for me. I actually ended up just taking my shoes off and leaving them at a table, as most girls did.
