The One Who Was My Formal Date

Being in a sorority has its perks, like being able to go to formals again.

While they are the highlight of the year, 

they sometimes come with some stressful situations. 

Like finding a date.

I have learned a lot through this recent formal season, especially when it comes to reserving a date...

Here are some things I have learned through this process that those attending formal next year might want to look out for-

People To Avoid Asking To Formal:

- If they have to ask their mother, chances are they cannot attend...

- If the first thing they ask you is if they will be spending the night, chances are they will be groping you all night...

- If they hesitate when you bring up the idea of formal, chances are it's not their scene...

- If they have the tendency to not follow through on plans, chances are something will come up right before formal...
- If they don't live in the area, chances are they won't drive 6 hours to come to formal...

If any of these scenarios occur during your formal date search, 

your best bet is taking a close friend, and in my case, it was my meatball. 

Who would have thought finding a date would be so hard! 

Well if you're me, it is one hell of a challenge that I was not prepared for. 

Being left dateless with 9 days to spare (yes he had a pretty good excuse)

I figured it was time to bring in the meatball. 

It was my last formal and thankfully I had a great time!

Yes, it was a shit show, but those are the things that make for great stories, right?

Thank you meatball for being such a great date!

 And thank you to all the males that taught me to always have a back up!
Or in my case, five...
