A seven day blog series.
“Prom on steroids” #seniorformal
No rest for the weary. I got up at the crack of dawn (aka 9 am) to get my hair done [finally!!]. One thing I won’t miss about Philly is the lack of adequate hair salons. I was supposed to walk out of the salon with bouncy curls and ended up walking out with bone straight hair. Still I’m glad my hair finally got the TLC it needed after being neglected during exam period.
After my 3 hour salon trip, I went to Max Brenner with my former roommate and friend for dessert. Before we left, I surprised her with a collage of pictures of my roommates from freshman and sophomore year. It was nice. At Max Brenner we talked about the past, present, and future over hot chocolate and milkshakes. She gave me a pair of beautiful earrings that were perfect for my formal dress. I had a really great time.
Once I got back to campus, I had time for a short nap before it was time for formal-prep. I had two friends come over and help me pick out my dress. They made me pancakes so I wouldn’t have to go to formal hungry! Of course my friends and I were supposed to meet up at 9 to get there at 9:30/10:00 and we didn’t end up leaving until 10. Typical.
Once we finally got to formal, we had an amazing time. Even though the DJ was terrible (playing Z100’s playlist from 2011) it was great to see my whole class looking great and enjoying themselves. Check out the pics!!
The night ended at IHOP —> the worst decision of my life. lol Beyond the terrible food, we had almost as much fun debriefing as we had at the actual formal. Senior Formal = success.
