But a lot of guys stress about dates. And buying corsages and all that stuff... I haven't even heard the word prom mentioned by a single guy at my school... I don't even know when/where it is. With my school, every year there seems to be a conflicting event going on at the same time as prom such as OFSAA soccer or something. Last year, the guys had to go to a soccer tournament, and their prom dates FREAKED on them. The University of Western Ontario '15 Political Science

Starstruck wrote:I bought a really nice red dress, which was totally out of character for me, and posted a picture of it on my school's prom dress Facebook page. Then a few days later, my friend points out to me that another girl just posted the EXACT SAME DRESS but said she bought it before me. The store would only give either of us store credit and not a refund, so we discussed it - I don't actually know her very well - and we decided to just wear the darn things and stay out of the same pictures.  Regardless, I'm excited for prom. I told my boyfriend he has to officially ask me even though it's assumed that we're going together. I'm still waiting. He's got until June... take a twin picture with her! :D and ooh I want a red dress... though I'm not even a high schooler... I just get dresses randomly sometimes :P University of Toronto (Trinity College)

Haha I definitely can't wait for grad! I don't usually do parties and stuff, but I am totally going all out for my prom. I guess it's because it will be the last sort of "send-off" party to see my friends in school again, since we are all splitting up after grad. I already got my dress, just need accessories and a hairstyle and I'm good! And to top it off, so far I plan on going stag - which I am actually kind of grateful for. The only reason I would want a grad date is for when all the grads march up in their suits and gowns and get pictures taken in front of everyone; other than that, having a date wouldn't be as fun as going solo  University of Alberta, Biochemistry- Accepted

^ That's what I'm saying. It's way better. I would go to commencement if it was in June. What I said was that the people who organized it at my school were obviously dropped on their heads at least one more time. **Shields**

But they are chasing us for grad fees. $35. I guess it's reasonable for caps & gowns plus refreshements and venue rental. The University of Western Ontario '15 Political Science
