1. Reflections: Question 8


8. My favorite high school memory would definitely be senior prom. From the moment I got out of bed until the time I passed out into bed I was smiling ear to ear. I woke up at 8 in the morning to go get my hair done. I was at the salon at 9 and stayed there until around 11 trying to get my hair to perfection. Consequently, I went to my friend Katherine’s house for her to do my makeup. Since I am not big on makeup it took her 2 minutes to finish my look meanwhile she struggled for a while with hers only to put on fake eyelashes and mess it all up and have to start over. Due to that she had to rush her makeup with only 10 minutes left before we had to go and I could not stop laughing at her. Everything was going great for me and I was so satisfied with how I looked and the beauty of our picture location, however as soon as we got to our photo destination where we had a set one hour with our photographer, we got kicked out because there was a wedding going on. We all were extremely annoyed as our time was ticking, so we decided to go to a mansion nearby and take pictures there. Our photographer was beyond generous and told her other group to also come to the mansion as the mansion was really beautiful. We took pictures for two hours instead of one hour since her other group was late and she was so supportive and helped us make the best out of our posing. I did not want to eat anything before pictures since I did not want to be bloated so by the time pictures finished I was starving. I drove to Mod’s and split a pizza with Juney and then we went to yogurtland. I don’t think I’ve ever ingested so much food so quickly and with such passion. Soon after we headed over to Lynbrook to take more pictures with friends. The reactions that I got from my friends was amazing since it is rare seeing me in anything more than sweats and a hoodie. On the bus ride there I sat with Juney and we talked about our summer plans and it was great. When we got to San Francisco we were blown away by how pretty everything was. Once the dancing started it was great. Everyone was on one floor of the boat and everyone was dancing and having a great time which is rare for a Lynbrook dance. At one point one of my best friends asked me to go outside and it was raining and it felt so great simply being outside in the cold and we just sat there watching the beautiful scenery and talked. After the dance was over we were all pretty exhausted and I rode back with that friend and almost fell asleep on his shoulder. I could not go to an after party since I had work the next day, but overall I think it was a night that I will not forget.
