Ah, yes it’s the most wonderful time of the year, also known as: #formalszn. It is the time when we freak out over who were asking, stressing over what to wear and attempting to make it down the steps at Indigo. I’m sure we can all recount a million things that have gone wrong at our own dated functions or ones that we were invited to, but to save us all of the humiliation I’m going to explain the stages of a dated function.
Having to curl your hair, get your dress on and do your makeup
That moment of panic when your date is two minutes late and you think you’re being stood up
Running to the white loop in your heels because you’re already late to the pregame
Walking into the apartment with your date and knowing that you look bad as hell
When your friends ask you if you and your date are going to hook up
Asking your friend to be in charge of basically an entire photoshoot for you
When your date helps you down the stairs at Indigo
When you’re questioning what that one girl is wearing
Dancing alone in the corner
When you think your friend is about to get with her date
When your date ditches you
When you’re ready to leave
Having to bring your friend home
Finally getting into your bed
No matter who your date is, what your dress looks like all that matters is that you have fun and dance the night away, happy formal season, collegiettes!
