Prom is considered one of the most important parts of a high school career. Many students spend their four years of high school looking forward to their senior prom.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kasidie Chapman, graduate of Fort Fairfield Middle High School and Sage Roling, graduate of Medomak Valley High School, recalled their senior year prom experiences. Both of them admitted that prom was one of their favorite senior memories. \u201cThe best part of prom was being with all of my friends and classmates and seeing them dressed up,\u201d Chapman said.<\/p>\n
Roling feels similarly. \u201cMy favorite part was getting dressed up and having a fun time with friends,\u201d she said. Prom should be a good time for everyone. The time leading up to prom is some people\u2019s favorite part. Females get their hair, nails and makeup done, and it\u2019s a good excuse for them to treat themselves. Some males don\u2019t take prom as seriously. They might get a haircut or make sure they have a clean shave and their tuxedos, but they\u2019re not nearly as busy on prom day as most females are.<\/p>\n
Even if pre-prom and prom itself are great, there are still some people who wish that they could change something. \u201cProm didn\u2019t go the way I wanted it to. I spent most of the day in the emergency room with my dad, then I had dress problems. Also, my hair and makeup weren\u2019t exactly what I wanted, but I enjoyed the prom itself. I would\u2019ve gone with somebody else if I had to chance to redo it, though,\u201d Chapman said.<\/p>\n
Prom isn\u2019t going to be perfect, as much as you\u2019d want it to be. But it gives seniors a chance to have a good time with their friends before they go off and do their own things. Some people who didn\u2019t go to prom say, \u201cYou\u2019re going to regret it if you don\u2019t go to prom.\u201d There are those who believe that this is a true statement, but others may disagree. Chapman said that she agrees with it. \u201cProm isn\u2019t an event that everybody would enjoy, but after you\u2019re there and in good company, it\u2019s worth it.\u201d Roling disagreed with the statement. She said, \u201cIt was fun, but not that special to me.\u201d Prom isn\u2019t for everybody, but in some situations, it\u2019s a good idea to go so you don\u2019t miss out on anything. Some people don\u2019t want to go because they don\u2019t have dates, but according to Chapman and Roling, half of the people at proms don\u2019t have dates. They go with their friends as a group, and it is fun either way.<\/p>\n
Another reason some people don\u2019t go is that they don\u2019t have a nice limo or they don\u2019t have money to buy other things expected for prom. Both Chapman and Roling didn\u2019t get limos. One of them just drove there and met up with her friends, and the other one got a ride from her friend\u2019s mom.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s surprising that not many people actually have money for things expected for prom. Chapman got her dress at a thrift store, so it wasn\u2019t too expensive. She described her dress as \u201ca floor length black dress.\u201d Roling got her dress, which was \u201clong and multicolored with gems,\u201d for free! She said, \u201cMy mother did my hair and nails.\u201d Even if people look like they spent a lot of money on prom, that isn\u2019t usually the case. But it looks as though prices for prom will keep climbing. Prices keep going up for everything, and prom dresses are very expensive to begin with.<\/p>\n
Many proms have distinct locations and themes. Chapman\u2019s prom theme was Arabian. Also, the location of her prom was in her high school gym. Most schools have a different location, but Chapman\u2019s senior class was smaller, so they could fit in the high school gym. Roling\u2019s prom was at an event hall a few minutes from her school. She explained that her prom had a Hollywood theme.<\/p>\n
Before and after prom, there are many places that students go. Some go home and some go to their friends\u2019 houses to celebrate the end of their senior year. Roling \u201cwent to dinner with friends before and went to a friend\u2019s house after.\u201d That\u2019s the common thing to do before and after prom. Chapman was even more relaxed. \u201cAfter prom, a few friends, our dates and I went to Tim Hortons, but we didn\u2019t do anything before prom.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prom can be really fun, but it\u2019s not for everybody. If you like social events, and look forward to meeting new people and having a great night before graduation, then prom is the place to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
