    Prom is really not all that special, it’s a formal for high-schoolers. I could barely remember mine by the time I finished college

      Prom is definitely something the media pushes to be more important that it is in reality. It’s fun, I liked going, but after high school it’s pretty meaningless.

        You have to remember how many people peaked in highschool, married their highschool girlfriend, never went to college, had kids in their early 20s, etc. Not saying any of those things are bad, but highschool can be pretty definitive for some people.

            Should have been obvious considering the number of movies (especially 90s and early 2000s) that revolve around some big activity that must happen before/during/after prom.

      Well, some people peak in high-school so it depends.

          I wasn’t talking about them. I was talking about people who put so much importance in prom.

      Hell, nobody in my class cared about it after a week.

      Might this have something to do with alcohol and other drugs abuse in college? /j
