Reality and Expectation: going to the ball

Prom is an exciting concept. I mean, for most teenagers, it's the first time you've been with your friends and other important people, doing hair, cruising around the city in a limo. In theory, it should be the night of your high school career, especially if there's something to say about it on TV or in movies. But in fact, prom doesn't always have to be crowned Queen and fall in love with your boyfriend / girlfriend. Let's separate the expectations from the reality of the dance:

mark the calendar as soon as you hear the theme of the dance. The theme is "night under the stars", so you can imagine a fully decorated ballroom, like this:

but to be honest, your school's dance budget and decoration team only gave less than two stools, and your school gymnasium will be more like this:

once you know the exact time of the dance, you will go to business Field and all your favorite fancy shops looking for the perfect dress. You fantasize about finding "that" with your friends. Everyone talks about your choice:

but really It takes hours to go shopping, trying to squeeze in clothes that don't fit your body, or dress too formally and expensively, and you'll struggle with setbacks at every turning point. When you finally decide to put on a dress, the competition starts to catch up with the perfect date for the ball. If you date someone who you think is romantic, he may ask you in a text message for class, want to know your lover or hell, even your favorite boyfriend will ask you right away, so you don't have to worry. At the same time, you may sweat until a week ago, and then call all your girls to the stag game. When the night of the ball finally arrives, you will spend the whole day dressing up. We're talking about nails, hair, makeup. In your mind, you imagine yourself as a celebrity with a dazzling team. But in fact, you will be a little tired and stressed, because all these things need time, patience and money! When you're dressed up and look like hell, you can take pictures before the prom with your camera. You welcome those flashing lights. On the other hand, your appointment Maybe not ready. However, you will erase it. I mean, who cares if you and your girls look like junkies, emrit? So you get in that super limousine and you spend a lot of money thinking it's going to be so stylish.

but in fact, your parents call you in advance to make sure you get an entry-level driving experience without any champagne buckets. Your driver has secretly become your non minor prank guardian.

you cruise to the ballroom and get ready to start your dance and enjoy your life. But maybe your dinner is too fast, so the time is a bit untimely, so you are like the first person to arrive. This atmosphere is not right. You don't care about it, because it's your dance, and you'll have a good time no matter what. Even if your favorite teacher is watching you dance.

then your date or boyfriend or girlfriend leans over your ear and whispers. You think they will tell you how beautiful you are, or how much they love you, and everyone will miss you when they go to university next year. But in fact, they just want you to know that they have a bad hotel room and a bottle of boons farm. Pass. The good news is that with your friends around you, you look and feel good. No matter how high your expectations are, you can still have a wonderful time. Have a good time with your friends and celebrate with each other. Everything else!
