How To Make Prom The Best Ever

“I don’t know how to take anything seriously.”

Prom, we all know what it is. We’ve all dreamed of the overly hyped up event that everyone sees in movies. The girls look glamorous, the guys dress in something other than athletic shorts for once in their lives, and then everyone awkwardly dances in a dark room until midnight. Sounds like a heck of a good time to me.

Don’t get me wrong, I went to prom Sophomore and Junior years, and I did have a good time, but the amount of money I spent for one night was absolutely ridiculous. So here’s my list of tips and tricks on how to have the best, cheapest prom possible.

1. Don’t go out and buy a new, expensive outfit. Just go in whatever you want. Wear your swimsuit or your pajamas. Put on that muddy, blood stained pair of jeans you wear when you go hunting for goodness sake, go right ahead. After all, you’re a human being, you shouldn’t be restricted by a dress code of all things.
2. Try to save money to afford a ticket. They’re probably going to be some outrageous price, so instead of buying lunch everyday, save your lunch money to buy a prom ticket and eat that stray french fry you find on the ground.
3. Find the right date. Going with a group of friends to a dance is so middle school, you absolutely need a date. Ask them in a cool way, but don’t go overboard. I’d suggest hiring a sky writer to write “PROM?” in the sky above their house, then set off some fireworks or something. Make sure to buy them some custom Gucci slides to bribe them into going with you. Just something simple like that, no big deal.

In all seriousness, have fun, and be safe at prom this year. I guess this year, prom just isn’t for me.

I can’t wait to graduate.
