the prom blog

Meet Shelley — she’ll be blogging through June about her prom. Check back to see what’s going on in her life and tell her what you’re doing to prepare for your prom!

Well, it’s finally senior year. I finished my SATs and ACTs and have sent all my college application out. The stress of high school should be over, but for some reason it isn’t.

It’s only January, and what’s on my mind? Prom. The four letter word that causes a chain of thoughts to boggle in my mind. I thought I would have at least a semester of a worry-free lifestyle. Nope. Now I’m in full on prom mode. Prom prep starts early, even if the dance is in late June. You have to book limos, hair and nail appointments and not to mention find the perfect, jaw-dropping, gotta-have-it dress.

So far, I have looked through prom picture from last year on Facebook, marked up an old prom magazine that has been lying on my floor since last year and found an out-of-town friend to be a back up date. Then, there is the stir of drama brewing between the 650 seniors in my school. Kids are already worrying about being asked and what prom house they will be invited to. I've already been invited to two—and the groups are overlapping. The crowds are always changing, so who knows if I will even be that close with everyone come June. I'm trying not to get ahead of myself, but it’s getting to me.

I’m loading up on my yoga and trying to stay stress free, but who am I kidding?

So CG!s, what’s on your mind when it comes to prom?

Xoxo,
Shelley
