Prom looked expensive asf as well as a lot of those "extra activities", but realizing it wasn't for me, I probably saved lots of time and money overall. I thought it was funny tho, because when prom (or some other dance thing) happened at my school, I was at work (restaurant) and those same people (normies / high-tier) came to my workplace and recognized me, but I just ignored their ass the whole time, never looked up to say "hi" or any of that shit. Damn, i hated those dreadful last years of HS.
It was also the same with the last year (Senior) yearbook photos... you had to pay a shit ton of money for a suit (rent), the photos themselves were highly expensive, etc. What a fucking joke, only a handful of people actually did any of this shit, most people (including myself) only had our names on a list in the back of the book. It's hilarious, so glad I never bought the actual yearbook either.. it was like $100. Like... fuck that. Besides, why would I want to relive the worst years of my life and see my oneitis in her senior photo? Fuck that shit.
