So for anyone in High school, homecoming is probably about a month away, maybe closer, or even farther. Who plans on going to their homecoming? Is it your first time going to one?
I plan on going, but i might have struggles. The girl im taking is out of state and stuff, her homecoming might interfier with mine. So if I do go, it will be my first time going to one and im an 11th grader.
i never went to any sort of prom. the alternative school i went to for high school was just too small for it. i would've loved to, but it just never came up. it would've been nice as a smaller prom, compared to all the huge proms i see at public high schools and stuff.
I wasn't entirely interested in school events. I spent the last half of high school moving and switching around schools a bit, so keeping track of these things wasn't my priority.
I never cared about them and thank goodness I didn't, because I don't really talk to my old high school classmates anyway (except one) so it kinda would've been a waste if I did go.
It's expensive anyway. :s Was like $130 or some shit just to go lol
Anyways. There were graduation proms for Secondary School and University that I could have gone to, but elected not to. The food and formal attire don't really agree with me, and I've never been one for the music they often play at those sorts of things. Formal gatherings like that sound like a horrible stressor.
I went to the dinner dance in year ten, didn't bother with the river cruise in year eleven and left for uni half way through that year so no year twelve ball for me. It wasn't that big a deal to me and I'm not upset I missed out on the other things, but I am glad I went to the one I did go to. Most of my closer friends didn't go but there was enough people I got along with to have a good time. It was cool because people from all the different social groups were all blending together more than usual and it's not hard to find people to dance with when you're the only guy in the room who is actually a dancer, so I didn't have to worry about that part which I think stressed a few people a bit. I was excluded from being allowed to win best dancer though which was rude AF.
Homecoming was a huge event in my school. The entire week was full of events and each day was dedicated to something else, until the Friday homecoming fell on that was dedicated to just dressing however you wanted - I remember some guy came as a Sparta solider and had an awesome helmet, plume, and cape. And then we had a huge pep rally at the end of the day where the grade levels battled each other. Usually the seniors won, but I remember my junior year, we won (we also won senior year as well ayyyyye). And then we had a homecoming game that night that was totally lit.
I miss homecoming. I miss high school sometimes too. It was like a cool strange world when I didn't have any real problems or struggles lmao. I never went to homecoming dance, though, because it fell on nights where I had prior competitions.
I went to my homecoming dance sophmore year. I went with a few friends/acquaintances there and genuinely had a good time. I took a group photo with them and then we chatted and danced here and there. I think there were several dance offs many people would stop and watch. After homecoming was over my parents picked me up and I went to bed shortly after haha.
I also went to prom senior year and it went similar with me going with some friends. Funny story though as before prom I won a tuexdo from a raffle. I asked a few guy friends out but they declined so I wasn't able to find a date woops.

Now during the 4th year, time for prom came. Prom here is little bit of different that in the US, so I'll borrow this part from wikipedia:
Spoiler:
In the Czech Republic, the last year in Gymnasium is celebrated with maturitní ples ("graduation ball"). This ball takes place before exams are taken, usually in January or February (<- This is true only for some parts, in our town, proms are from November to January and ours was during 2nd week of November), the traditional season for balls during the Fasching (e.g., List of balls in Vienna). Normally, balls are formal but modern elements are included, too. The students invite their parents, other relatives and friends to come to the ball with them. The balls usually have a theme and the classes perform choreographed dance routines at the beginning or during the evening. The students also receive a ribbon. It's common that various artists are invited to perform at the ball, ranging from fireshow performers to famous celebrities. At midnight, the classes perform a "midnight surprise performance" – typically some sort of funny act. Sometimes several schools organize a joint event. The income is often used to finance a collective voyage of the students after the exams.
I'm one of the last people that are asked where they want to put their family and I saw empty seats by the same table as she put her family. And now the fated how we DIDN'T get together story begins...
Before the prom, we planned some thing together and were paired for most of the events there. And so we danced, drank and had great time together. Fastforward to 3 AM when the prom was ending and we are standing in front of the building, waiting for her dad to pick her up. I'm about to kiss her, when the doors to the building swung open. My drunk best friend is standing there, happily shouting to me that he was looking for me everywhere. Before I could react, my gf's dad's car arrived and she disappeared. And that the story how we DIDN'T get together.
