Prom Thread!

Hang on, if you're not a senior and you're not a junior, what are you?
Prom is like a costume contest. Some of the crazy things people wear these days...
I think it's still fun though because you get to see all of your classmates dressed up, whether it looks elegant or tacky. Sometimes you see girls in a whole new light because they have their hair done and make up and everything and pretty dress.
If you guys decide to go, can there PLEASE be a prom picture thread, I think it would be thoroughly amusing.

My advice: find out whose house you are going to AT LEAST three days in advance or else you will be screwed over the day of and will have no group to party with and no house to sleep at (except your own). I say that because this is happening to me right now...
I am a junior and am going to prom in two days (so this Saturday) and am not looking forward to it as much as I thought I would. First, my prom date is one of my really good friends and is amazing, funny, nice, and incredibly obese... I was going to ask someone else, but she asked me before I had a chance to, and at my school turning someone down to prom simply because you don't want to go with them is a big no no. Also, she is my really good friend and I don't feel like ruining our friendship (which sadly, it would) over this.
Anyway, we agreed to ride in a limo with a different friend and her group without realizing that parties / sleep overs are determined by which party bus you ride in. I am with the best crowd of friends and cool people in nerd type ways that I love (video games, theater, show choir, AP Chemistry, etc) but they are NOT the type of people you want to party with. Furthermore, our group is comprised mostly of girls (as at least half the people in the limo are girls without dates and there are only three couples), so the girls are all going to one person's house and staying the night, but none of the boys stay the night. This makes perfect sense and is, usually, the case. However, out of us three guys, the person that lives closest to where prom is being held is 35 minutes away, and none of our parents will let us have people over so late.
What that means is, now our trio of unfortunate lads are stuck with no place to spend the night, and no possible place to spend the night as parties / sleep overs are divided by party bus. So, be sure to find that info out BEFORE you are screwed over into driving 45 minutes home alone or are forced to take desperate measures and sleep in your car (and yes, one of us is actually considering doing that).
Cheers.

Ha.
To me, Prom is worthless.
But then again, I'm generally an unromantic cheapass/smartass who couldn't care less for the opposite sex (no, I'm not gay, deadly retroviruses just aren't my thing) so anything that is romantic or fancy doesn't appeal to me.
Instead of going to Prom, I went and spent 200 bucks on a bunch of new import video games and a trip to the local arcade.
Add to that the fact that (due to my school systems terrible financial status at the time), it was held in some kind of empty bank vault (!!?), and I was even less interested. Some people told me I would regret it, but I'm too busy playing these awesome japanese import videogames to pay much attention to them ;D
Oh yeah? I did nothing but study and play games, and I got into one of the "top" colleges in my region. And you know what? It wasn't worth it. I wound up leaving after realizing that I had paid someone 2000 dollars of my own money just so that they could teach me math.
I could pay for a substantial chunk of my tuition at a state school with that much money, and still learn the same shit. On top of that, the atmosphere was overly snobby at times and most of the other students had ultra-rich parents that were paying for them and were obnoxious overachievers.
I suggest you be careful what you wish for. If you thrive in that kind of environment, good for you, but your wallet will need a trip to urgent care when you're done.

As long as by 'having fun' you don't mean getting drunk, because that is just downright stupid.
Also, can someone answer this:
a sophmore
Is that the stage in between senior and junior?
Growing up? Don't make me laugh.
It's not a matter of maturity, its a matter of opinion. I am a somewhat introverted person who finds no use for love, romance, or any sort of fancy occasion. I don't spend my time at home playing videogames 24/7, I find having friends over to play them with is much more fun, and I have plenty of other hobbies, like scuba diving.
Maturity is defined by mental state, not what you do during your free time or how social you are.
Often I found that the more social people were at my school the less mature they were. The more friends they had, the more likely they were off getting drunk all the time and smoking and getting horrible grades. Not to mention that one year out of the students that were over the age of 17 and were able to donate blood, six of the students that donated blood came up positive for HIV. Six lives completely ruined and just when they were starting off.
For my prom we just ended up going to Denny's after at like 2 in the morning, it was a great time and no drinking involved. Some other people we were in the limo with went to drink at a party and just ended up throwing up a few hours later and that was the rest of their night. Honestly, drinking is not appealing at all. At least I got to keep my food down and it was pretty damn good.
