Hot Spots After the Prom

By: Cristina Niro

Prom is supposed to be the best night of your life.  You’ve been dreaming of it since you were in elementary.  How your dress is going to look, your makeup, the limo and your prom date.  It’s honestly the last time you guys are all together in one room.  But, honestly the real party happens after prom where there is no adults to supervise you.

There’s different things that students do after their prom.  After prom is a time where the graduates let loose, some more than others.  They get in their little groups and make it a night to remember.  Some people don’t end up remembering their prom though because they have a little too much fun.

One popular option is that the grads do is a huge party that a few grads will organize.  Most of the time it’s at a loft that they will rent.  They tell everyone how much they will have to pay and they sell tickets.  It’s usually downtown or at the old port and it’s a blast.  So, when prom finishes everyone gets changed and goes to the loft to party all night.

Another option is your group of your closest friends will go up north for 2-3 days.  You rent a chalet or if someone in your groups already owns one than you go there.  This option is more of an intimate one because you’re just staying with your closest friends which is usually around 4-8 people.  A lot of grads love this option because they rather spend the rest of the night with people they really care about.

Attempting to get into clubs is another option is one of the more popular ones.  As you know when we graduate we’re 17 years old.  The legal age to get into a club is 18 years old so we aren’t legally supposed to be there.  This one is a little more risky because you do get rejected a lot.  The clubs do know that it’s prom season so they will be checking even more.  It was easier when our parents were growing up but now they card everyone.  If you don’t know anyone that works in the club your chances of getting in are slim to none.

Some grads also choose to call it a night after prom ends.  They go back home and rest after all that partying which is all up to you and your character.  People have their reasons why they just want to go home.  Some parents are very strict and they won’t allow their child to go out afterwards or maybe its just not your character to go partying all night.  It’s whatever you are comfortable doing.

A few people will stay in the hotel that the prom is being held just so they don’t to go home.  Obviously because we are still considered minors we must have an adult reserve and check into the room for us.  It’s another fun option to just stay in the room with your closest friends and relax and gossip.

Prom and after Prom is going to be a time that you remember even when you’re 70 years old telling your grandchildren what you did.  Might as well make it really fun and memorable so you have good memories to share with your friends and family years from now.
