Prom..... took forever to get here, but it was over in a flash.

All little girls dream about prom at least once during their childhood. I remember when I was little I loved looking at prom dresses. When I went to a department store or dressy store, I would always look through the prom dresses and imagine myself in them. Even just a couple years ago at the end of my freshman year, I remember going through everyone's prom pictures on facebook and looking at everyone's dresses and hairstyles. Last year at the end of my sophomore year, I was a prom attendant so I had the opportunity to actually go to prom and serve punch and give out favors, so instead of going on people's facebooks to see their prom pictures, I actually got to see everyone's beautiful dresses and hairstyles at prom itself. I remember being so jealous that it wasn't time for my prom yet, I remember how anxious I was about it. It felt like it was never going to get here, and I was so scared that I would be let down because I had built it up so much in my mind. But before I knew it, I was finally a junior and prom was only 9 months away. Then Christmas came and it was only 5 months away. Then spring break was over, and it was only a short 2 months away. Then finally, the week of prom came and nobody could stop talking about it. I was starting to get so stressed (as I wrote about in my last blog). Prom has so many decisions to be made in such a short amount of time and it really sneaks up on you if you have a busy life like I do. I had no idea about all the time and money that goes into it. When you're a little girl admiring dresses and hair, you don't realize how much time and money it takes to find the perfect ensemble for yourself and your date. But, luckily, everything was ready in time :) And I was NOT dissappointed in the way prom turned out for me this year, I had just as much fun as I had always imagined having. I'm so excited for prom next year!
