Pre homecoming worries


The stresses of homecoming are a big deal while you’re in high school. There are different emotions that go through guys rather than girls. To girls this is the biggest dance of the year. It’s a time when we can get all dolled up and show off how pretty we can be. Everyone is looking at the girl’s dresses, and the girls always compare their dresses to other girls. They seem to be too worried about how much it cost, where they got it, and how much better they look than other people.  The biggest concern is if they have the same dress as someone else. 

For guys this process is easy, all they have to do is a girl they would like to go with. Most guys go out of their way to go something cute or special. You have the guys who do something in front of the whole school which can get a little embarrassing for the girls, then the others who like the more intimate setting. I personally don’t care how I am asked, as long as it is a surprise.

No one wants to go alone to the dance. There are always people who do end up going, and it is the worst feeling ever. It makes you seem like no one wants to do anything special for you and that you are left out. Going to the dance alone has its ups and downs. The pros would be that you wouldn’t have to stick with a date if you like dancing with a lot of other people. A con would be that everyone else has a date and there might not be someone for you to dance with. Another con would be that you are awkwardly waiting for someone to dance with and look like a loser. 

When you arrive to the dance you have to figure out where your grade it located.  It’s also a challenge to figure out when to arrive to the dance. Should you be there early and enjoy every minute of it? Or should you get there right when the party is starting? I personally have never arrived to the dance when it stated that it started. I feel like it would be awkward waiting for other people to start dancing and having there not be a lot of people there yet. My tactic has worked out perfectly for me and I will do the same this year if I go to homecoming.

When you arrive you typically go take pictures before you get all sweaty from dancing.  There comes another decision to make. What pose should you do? If you come alone you might want to take a picture with other couples and make it a big group shot.  The moment of the picture is what you have gotten ready for all day and what you want to look best in.

Homecoming can either be one of the funest nights of high school or a depressing one. Which one will you make it this year?  Its senior year, hopefully I can find a date and enjoy it to the fullest. (522)
