School Dances

So, school dances right? You either love them, or hate them. In movies, there’s a picture painted that everyone looks so nice, you dance with your hands up in the air and do the hand-jive or have a dance-off and laugh and have a great time. You slow dance with McDreamy, listen to great music, and live happily ever after. No so much. School dances are all right, not great. Yes, everyone looks straight out of a magazine and pictures are perfect. But, then there’s the drama, and the people PDA-ing everywhere and sneaking away to do heaven only knows what or get “high” or something else illegal. Seriously people, I know we’re in high school, but can’t it wait until at least AFTER?! Anyways, I seriously think our middle school dances were better than Homecoming this year. The music, sorry, was quite lame. The cafeteria—which is where I eat my (hopefully) clean, sanitary food—was perspiring from the vents. Yes, you heard right, I got DRIPPED on by something or someone at least twice! Drinks are served by parents and middle-schoolers in a small little area right nearby, and you couldn’t stand anywhere without being touched be someone or something. Half the dance, I think, I spent outside because it was just waaaaaaaaay too hot. Half, these problems—and I’m seriously thinking about starting a petition for this—would be solved if we did dances either one of three places: the gym, the little gym, or outside! It would make it so much more fun, and not so much questionable.
This may just be me, because two years ago I went to prom, at a country club-type place. It was clean, food was served, there were sooooo many less people in a bigger area, and it was cool. The music was great; there wasn’t any inappropriate PDA (some things were questionable, but not down-right dirty). You could sit down and have a lemonade or something, and the directions where awesome. And there was no mosh pit. Sorry if this sounds like ranting, it might’ve just seemed extra-lame to me because I was extremely tired that night, but it’s just how I feel! I’m thinking about getting on the dance committee (probably not, I’m a lot of talk) but I seriously think something needs to be done about these school dances! Until next time, over and out.
