| 1. Your prom dress is: |
 |
| In your closet. You bought it last year and it's already been tailored. |
| In the mail. You shopped online and found the perfect dress. |
| A hazy idea. You know what you want, but you haven't started shopping. |
|
| 2. When your date asked you to the prom, the first thing you did was: |
|
| Made a list of all the to-dos, called up all your friends and relatives to break the good news, and made an appointment at the salon. |
| Started thinking about how nice it would be to go to prom. |
| Told him you'd think about it. You've got more important things to tend to first. |
|
| 3. You finally found the perfect dress at the store, but (eek!) it's got a "hold" tag on it. You: |
|
| Tear off the tag, try it on, and then slide over to counter to pay for it, praying you won't get caught! |
| Politely ask the saleswoman to call you if the lucky chick doesn't come back for it. |
| Resign yourself to losing the dress. There are bound to be others where that one came from. |
|
| 4. You've been planning your prom night ever since: |
|
| You were a little girl. You even have a scrapbook with prom dress photos from the 1990s. |
| The guy you've been seeing asked you to be his date. |
| Your friends convinced you it would be fun to go. |
|
| 5. At lunchtime, your friends raise an eyebrow when you start talking about: |
|
| Your dress, accessories, and prom plans. They've heard it all before a zillion times. |
| Your parents not chipping in for your ride. |
| Shopping for a dress. What a pain! |
|
| 6. Your date wants to make all the prom arrangements, so you: |
|
| Pester him daily with calls, pages, and IMs to find out the deal on the limo, dinner, and after-party events. |
| Agree to split the to-dos. He shouldn't have to do everything. |
| Let him do it all. |
|
| 7. It's two weeks before the prom and you haven't even: |
|
| Picked out your nail polish color. Whatever will you do? |
| Shopped for your shoes. |
| Bought a dress -- better get on that! |
|
| 8. How often have you thought about prom in the last few weeks? |
|
| Are you kidding? I'm so excited I can barely sleep. |
| Once in a while. I just have to figure out the basics (dress, money, and the rest) and then I won't have to worry about it. |
| As little as possible. I'm going to flip out if one more person bothers me about it. |
|
| 9. To you, prom is: |
|
| A once-in-a-lifetime event that will make or break your high school career. |
| A good excuse to party with friends. |
| An over-hyped dance that's going to put you in the poor house. |
