Summer's Date

Prom.

The socially obligatory event.

Nobody even aks if you're going...The assumption can be assumed.

This is the most important event of your high school career, and as such has an important set of rules:

1. Make sure your date is worthy not only of you, but of society's approval. At the very least, make sure he/she exsists. If you don't have a date, you'll have to create a huge, "fun" group to make it seem like you're having much more fun without a date. This option is more complicated but easier in the long run.
2. Find the perfect dress/outfit. Make sure it's more expensive than your neighbor's but not so expensive that you can't afford the shoes. If you find out that someone has purchased a similar dress, RED ALERT. You need to find a new dress and FAST. Who knows what you'll be left with if you dawdle.
3. Get your hair done. I suggest getting it done a few months in advance to make sure it's perfect. While you're at it, give your make-up a trial run as well. You never want to be left on prom morning desperately trying to find eye-shadow to match your dress...It's much easier to just figure everything out beforehand.
4. Make sure your date takes you to a nice restaurant for dinner; some place he can hold the door for you, and order for you without looking like a complete douche. The minute he pulls into In 'N Out is the minute you walk away. Metaphorically of course...Otherwise you might ruin your shoes.
5. Make sure you do something after prom because people are sure to ask. Some choose to go to a party, others choose to practice what they learned in health class. Whatever you choose, make sure you choose something. Otherwise you'll end up looking like a loser on prom night regardless of whether or not you actually went.
6. One more rule: never, ever, EVER opt out. Not going to prom is like buying off-brand clothing. It just shouldn't be done...Under ANY circumstances.

So there you have it...

I hope this list has been of some help to you. Of course, I'm not going to prom...

How could I?

I have a date with coffee.

Less than three,
