Prom....

Prom is so overly dramatic. Why is it that way? First of all, I don't know, everyone treats it differently, but it's all in some ways dramatized. Prom, since it's the last dance of the year, not to mention the biggest as well, is taken really seriously. I don't know much about the guys, but my guyfriend did tell me that he doesn't like spending sooo much money on the date and dance itself plus a tux and pictures. Then there is also the trouble of finding a group and figuring out how to ask the girl out and hoping he won't get rerjected (which is highly unlikely, since girls usually don't care and just want to go...). Girls all have to find a dress that isn't $200+ and then there is the hair and nails and shoe shopping to take care of as well as figuring out how to reply to the guy. I think these things are usually why Prom is such a stressed out thing. It's probably worth it, but I can't say because I've never been to Prom before!

spring break

Sadly, it's over. It seems like it almost never happened, but I do feel refreshed and ready for school again. Why do we have spring break? I think the most important reason is because all the students, teachers, and faculty need a nice break. The last big break was 4 months ago and still in 1st semester! Having one for the second is nice to take a break or finally catch up with all of the homework load. It's also nice because in the next month there will be finals, AP tests, projects etc. that both students and teachers will be staying up late for. So it is nice to be able to relax and get ready for the huge workload and final grades that will take up a majority of the time. Along with that, with studying and focusing on schoolwork, spring break allows you to catch up and hang out with friends, probably for the last time until school is pretty much done, and then summer begins!
