P-R-O-M.

Whatever....I don't need a date.

Here's my article that was published in my school paper about not having a date.

" Dress. Check. Hair treatment, color, and style. Check. Makeup. Check. Heels I can’t walk in. Check. Date? ………..Uh oh.

Prom is an event the entire nation celebrates and indulges in. But what happens when that event, or dream, is interrupted by the lack of a vital ingredient to the mix? What happens when you don’t get asked to Prom?

As a girl, I know the importance that is placed on being asked to Prom. Not only is it a sign of potential charm, but it’s absolutely flattering to oneself. There’s so much weight on being asked to Prom in fact, that Anti-Prom pity parties are thrown when someone isn’t asked. Is this not degrading?

So what if you don’t have a date to the Prom? Celebrate with your girls! You can still go to the Prom without a date. Split the ticket cost with a girlfriend. (So much cheaper…just saying.) Get dressed up together. Style each other’s hair, help one another with makeup, and wear that dress. Go with your girls out to dinner, and actually have a good time. There’s no one to impress, so you can actually be yourself. Go to the dance, and dance. DJ’s are always good about playing girl boosting tunes when you’re in a girl group.

Though going in a group of girls isn’t the same as going with the guy of your dreams, it can still be a lot of fun. Prom is a celebration, so treat it that way.

(I’m not writing this article to discourage guys to not ask girls to prom. Guys, keep asking. And if you can’t think of anyone to ask, look around in your classes. I’m sure there’s a girl that’s dying to go with you.)"


I found the most perfect dress.....Ever. Not even kidding.

I'm sorry, but it would look HOTT on my body. And with gold glads...um. KILLER!


So maybe I'll ask a guy.
