I can almost guarantee that - despite how alienating and uncomfortable it can feel to go against any social expectation -  you wouldn't have been the only one (I also doubt that many people would have known).

I'm glad you enjoyed the night despite the complications which impacted your experience :)

We just had year 12 formal on Friday lol, so I thought I'd add to this thread...

It was a pretty awesome experience especially since our school cancelled our year 10 formal and year 11 social, so it was a new experience for all of us. Some people thought it was over-hyped but most of us were too excited for it we completely ignored the fact that we had a methods SAC that same day ;D I'm sure this sounds incredibly cliched but I loved the experience. Getting ready for formal didn't take long for me, but it was an absolute nightmare for my sister lmao... God I'm glad I wasn't born a girl ;D Anyway a bunch of friends came to our place and we all went in a limo (also first time in a limo, god the experience was surreal... no one bothered with seatbelts XD)

The actual venue was really fancy, I felt like I was on set of the Great Gatsby. To me the most surprising experience was seeing everyone dressed properly, because I'm so used to seeing all the guys with their shirts untucked and ties half-done up. I also have to make a point about the fact that I couldn't recognise three quarters of the girls there cos of all the makeup ;D

We also had 10 sashes - best dressed (x2), best dancer (x2), cutest couple, teacher's pet, class clown, most talented, always late, and most opinionated. In my humble opinion, I have to say that the highlight of the night was when I won class clown. ;D My sister also won most talented... apparently the school just really wanted to put a pair of twins on the podium hahaha... but the 'cutest couple' was actually hilarious, because the pair aren't actually dating. That didn't stop the DJ from playing 'Right Here Waiting' by Richard Marx when they came up on stage.

Also after viewing this post in preview mode I realised that I've overused the ;D emoji way too many times.

ADD - Our school also has val on the 22nd of November, the day after VCE exams finish. Not sure if I'll even go though, since my last exam is on the 19th and I'm more than ready to leave the country as soon as it's over and not come back till I have to attend another institution known as university.

Yep, we had a voting booth on the night and every student had a vote for each category, school captains had two votes each (talk about a democracy lol). The only sash the students didn't vote on was teacher's pet - which was decided by the teachers.

Bump! Class of 2019, how are you finding it all?
