Within these last few months, the volume on prom talk has been increasing, so my
thought of the day is isn't prom just a really expensive dance? I mean, you have to buy the dress, the shoes, the accessories, the hair, the limo, the hotel room, the PROM TICKET... It all adds up, all so that you can go and dance with a bunch of people you are not going to remember in 2 years!
Yes, maybe I'm a bit bitter about it because I already went to a prom that wasn't my own. My boyfriend at the time, who shall remain nameless, took me to his prom only to then leave me with a bunch of his friends who I didn't know! I can socialize just as well as the next girl but I had never met these people before and it was PROM! I just wanted to be with people I like, and enjoy myself, but that did not happen.
Now, in my senior year, my school has gone a rye trying to plan prom. Every school has their own highschool-lagunabeach-thehills-MTVsoapopera-drama, but this year, my school (Sir John A. MacDonald Collegiate Institute) decided to go all silence of the lambs on each other. "I don't want to sit with this person" "I don't want to go in this limo" "Where am I sitting if you ditch me?" "Why are you going without a date?" "You can't sit with us because she doesn't want you at our table" UGHHHHHHHHHH SHUT UP! Take a second to listen to yourselves, and tell me do you think its worth the $500+ or the stress? Isn't prom suppose to be a gathering for everyone to say their last goodbyes and go on with life? So why are we all bickering before hand? By the time we GET to the actual DATE of prom (June 18th) we're all going to hate each other.
I am now in the process of deciding weather or not I want to go to this reunion of emotions or just save myself... well more like my mother, the money. Everyone keeps telling me I am going to regret not going but I really don't think I will. In the matter of a week I have been back stabbed, betrayed, lied to, attacked and put down... Why do I want to go to prom with these people who cause me this stress? And to be honest, I am really not up for anymore of this emotion, I've had enough frustration to last me a freaking lifetime.
At this point, I would just like to finish my senior year, say "goodbye, enjoy life" to everyone, and move on to college life without a care in the world. I have no interest of keeping any of these high school friends from this school because I do not share enough interests with them to do so. Yeah, you were all great for the two years I spent at your school, but lets not kid ourselves, we are NOT going to talk after this school year ends, I'm not being rude, its the truth.
*Sigh* Prom is a glorified dance that I do not want to attend, but chances are, I will find myself getting ready, and showing up there on prom night. (-_-)
