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.
- 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.
- 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.
