According to the cliche girly movies I have watched, the most unforgettable and the most magical event in your high school years is PROM.
"Prom" is short for "promenade" which means a formal dance or a leisurely walk typically one taken in a public place so as to meet or be seen by others. But no one cares what prom means, right? All we know is that in a prom, there will be dancing, the girl will be in their beautiful dresses, the guys will be in their handsome suits and there will be the most-awaited Prom King & Queen which can lead you to ultimate popularity.
But if you say the word "prom" in front of a girl, she will definitely freak out (Well, most girls are like that). For a girl, it's the most magical night of their lives. They will dance will the guy of their dreams. They will have a major transformation from this ordinary girl to a total diva. They will hang out with their friends until midnight. For them, prom is everything.
For me, not so quite. Prom is just an ordinary event for me. Of course, I would a great time dancing but let's face it, prom is tiring.
Do you even know what goes behind the scenes of a promenade? The movies make it so easy but in real life, it's not. In real life, you have to do a lot of things like you would have a tribute song, you would light a candle and you have to hear a speech from your beloved principal. And there's one more, that waltz thing, you have to practice it.
In these past few weeks, my class have been practicing from our prom this upcoming February 5. We've been dancing from morning to the afternoon. My feet are aching. And we're suppose to do all those dances and songs while wearing heels.
The teachers are already mad at us because they want the prom to be super perfect and most of us don't want to practice anymore because our bodies are freakin' tired. Ugh! Let us rest! I want rest!
But we have to participate in classes because prom comes only once in a lifetime. We have to make sure it's perfect.
So, in spite all the aches and pain, all of that will be worth it in the end because our prom will be magical as ever.
How about you? What's on your mind when you hear the word "prom"?
