Remember prom? Limo arrangements, restaurant reservations, boutonnières, sex talks, hairstyle auditions, and those girls who only ate cabbage soup for the three months beforehand?

Limousine: check. Overpriced tuxedo: check. Corsage: check. Somebody who actually said "yes": check. Sounds like somebody's ready for their senior prom. This pinnacle of American high school social life is often marketed as a surefire great time. However, looking back at my own experience, I have to say that it was hardly a night to remember. Spending upward of $400 on a now ex-girlfriend to be sweaty in an uncomfortable tuxedo for a few hours is hardly my idea of saying "goodbye" to my glorious days of high school. (I think the Mariners even lost that night.)
