Girl Schedule

MATERIALS: 1) Floral tape 2) Scissors and/or flower clippers 3) One rose 4) Ribbon 5) Corsage Pins

Kavya Padmanabhan

11 a.m: Instead of the beauty rest every girl deserves, on the day of prom, I’ll be stuck taking the ACT.

directions: 1) Choose a rose for the boutonniere. 2) Cut the stem so that it's about two inches. 3) Wrap the floral tape around the stem of the rose, making sure not to leave any part of the stem bare. 4) Cut the tape when the stem is completely wrapped. 5) Cut a piece of ribbon to the desired length. 6) Tie the ribbon around the stem, and tie it in a bow. 7) Stick two corsage pins in the stem for later. 8) When applying the rose to the suit, put the pins through the stem and the fabric. Make sure that the rose is secure. —Compiled by Sam Acker

best prom askings “"We had a pop quiz in class and a lot of the questions were about Channing Tatum, who he knows I really like. Then, Christine Lin told me that all of the answers spelled out my name and when I looked at the over-head projector there was an embarrassing picture of me and the answers to the test. The next slide was asking me to prom."” ­­—junior Anuva Ganapathi

12 a.m: Ah, freedom. Finally, I’ll be able to start my transformation into a princess. 1 a.m: Obviously, my frizzy hair will be blow-dried until it achieves a sleek perfection. 2 a.m: After showering away the remains of my bad morning, I’ll depart for my friend’s house. 3 p.m: It’s practically a rule that there must be plenty of giggling as we girls get ready. Like, a lot. 4 p.m: Pictures are required of course, so there will be a lot of cheesy grins as we arrange ourselves into “classic” poses. 5 p.m: After anxiously waiting all day, we will go (in a caravan of cars) to Gunn and board the infamous prom bus. 7 p.m: At the pavillion, we will gorge ourselves on the array of food. 12 a.m: Prom night is now, unfortunately, over.
