9 Salty Reasons Why Prom is "Fun"

9 Salty Reasons Why Prom is "Fun"

     If financially you can attend the prom, here's nine reasons to why prom is fun to attend. Now, I know that I personally don't want to go to prom for the second time, but maybe I'm just salty about the price because there are some things that make prom fun to go to. Here are some of my reasons why prom is fun.

1. You feel like a princess when you're dressed in a hundred dollar ball gown, with matching heels. The way that the hem gracefully hugs and follows your body makes you feel like a goddess. The hair piece, the hair that took you forever to make, the makeup that emphasizes your cheekbones and jaw, all of those pieces come together to form the perfect you. However, if you over do it, be warned that the makeup will make you look like a scarecrow (honestly, I didn't know what to compare the look too, I think the word "scarecrow" sends the closest term I can think of).
   
2. Your feet might hurt and blister at the end of the night, but it will be worth it because your feet will look on fleek.
   
3. The date that asked you out by a PROMposal (I swear, last prom joke), will be standing at your doorstep. You two will patiently proceed to wait for her mother to take 100 photos of you two, which will last forever in her scrapbook, in order to embarrass you both in the future. 
   
4. When you finally arrive at the restaurant before the prom, be prepared to have actual fun and actual conversations because you won't be able to talk over the loud rap music at the venue. 
   

7 Best Reasons Why Prom is Not Worth It

7 Best Reasons Why Prom is Not Worth It

     So last year I've attended my junior prom, and guess what, it completely sucked. Not only was there a cringy scene on the dance floor but there was nothing else to do but to dance and take photos in a photo kiosk (I don't know how to describe it and it's not exactly a photo booth). It made me want to never again attend prom for as long as I live. That's why I've compiled 7 reasons for why prom is not worth going to.

1. When people say that you don't need someone to go with you to prom to have a good time, they're lying. When almost everyone starts to partner up with their dates and you don't have a date, you will be stranded by yourself in the middle of everyone. Wanting, hoping that someone else is in the same position as you but you will shortly notice that most of them have sat down and started playing with their phones. 
   
2. Prom is expensive. If you're not ready to shell out at "LEAST" 150 dollars for one single night, be prepared to break open your piggy bank because you're going to lose a lot of money. Not only do dresses cost 90-500 dollars (some cheaper options include discounted dresses and goodwill) but you also have to buy shoes. Plus, hair decorations and haircuts, dress alternations and such. Additionally, if you're a guy, you don't only have to buy or rent a suit but you also have to buy expensive shoes to match your outfit. You can also rent a limo, but that will cost you 150 dollars including gas and tip unless you ride with more people; but let's say that you asked your parents to drop you off or someone is paying for you, the tickets still cost anywhere from 75 dollars to a 100 dollars. And don't get me started with the dinner before prom or the after party after prom.
