This week is homecoming week in Chester and I’m sure all the girls are freaking out and obsessing over the dance. I never really went to the dances in high school, but it is still weird that I am not hearing about it constantly from everyone else. I went to my freshman homecoming and my senior prom and that was it. I always got so tired of hearing about the dances and how “fun” they were. Both times I went, they were extremely boring and a total waste of money. Some of these girls spend up to 500 dollars on a dress that they will wea r one time! That is just down right stupid to me. That is not the only thing they have to buy either. They go get their hair and nails done and all pitch in for a limo or party bus of some kind. Although, if they have fun wasting money on a four hour long dance then power to them. I will, however, be going to the parade this Friday. My sister and my niece will probably want to go, so we will most likely go and get lots of candy! I am also excited about the football game Friday. I wasn’t ever excited about the dance but I always look forward to the game!
I know what you mean, when I was in high school, though I went to Coulterville, the girls still spent tons of money. Our Homecoming consisted of approximately 30 people, if we were lucky, and Prom, well that was about fifteen people, maybe. So even to spend money to go to a bigger school and have people see you is a lot different that going for 20 people to see you. I agree that it is a total waste of money, i borrowed my senior prom dress from a friend who spent six hundred dollars on it. The guys only rent a tux and thats all whereas, girls go all out and try to pretty themselves up a lot and spend so much money its crazy.
ReplyDeleteI never ever was allowed to go to any school dances because of my religion. It upset me. I wanted to be able to feel beautiful for once, to be all glammered up sexy. So after I moved out I really wanted to go to our senior prom but Jacob said no that it would be stupid. Plus its a lot of money to spend on clothes and everything. It is stupid to have to spend so much for a one time thing. Plus girls nowadays think that it is so horrible to wear the same dress. What's the big deal? Its just a dress.
