Disney-esque Prom Goals

I love every single Disney Channel show prom episode. Something about the choreographed dance routines and perfectly frosted desserts pique my interest. Since I was little, I have always looked forward to getting dressed up alongside my best friends and dancing the night away. Although most of the prom pictures I have seen in real life have been in school cafeterias, compared to the fancy ballrooms on my television screen, I want my senior prom to be a night I will never forget.

Every year my school has a junior prom that is not as fancy as the one for seniors. I remember how much fun my classmates and I had together last year. My friends and I felt so special as we walked into the Paris-themed room. We jumped in unison to the songs we requested, we waited in line for the chocolate fountain, and overall, we enjoyed being together. I think I am lucky that I was able to have a preview of my long-awaited senior prom.

Senior prom is probably the last time you will be in the same room as all of your classmates at the same time. It is also one of the last times that you will be able to dance the Cha Cha Slide alongside your favorite teachers who are chaperoning. Trust me, my friends and I still laugh all the time about the inside jokes we have from last year's dance. I would not trade those memories for anything.

This year, when you get your hair done and walk towards the car to meet your friends for the night of your life, be smart. Do not let peer pressure stop you from the senior prom you deserve, a prom you will remember forever. Say no to alcohol and drugs, and say yes to chocolate fondue and blisters from dancing so much. And when you arrive at your prom, dance like Teddy Duncan, laugh like Alex Russo, and sing like Sharpay Evans.
