I mean, this year's Junior Prom is about 'Being Yourself' - but Senior Prom is a whole different ball game. It's about being Prom people. It seriously feels like it's more about presentation than about experience. I mean, how much fun can you really have when you're wearing a cummerbund? And are you even really supposed to have fun?

"I got to thinking about fate, that crazy concept that we're not really responsible for the course our lives take, that it is all predestined, written in the stars. Maybe that explains why if you live in a city where you can't even see the stars your love life tends to feel a little more random and even if our every man, every kiss, every heartache is preordered from some cosmic catalogue, can we still take a wrong step and wander off our own personal milky way, I couldn't help but wonder ...can you make a mistake and miss your fate?" - Sex and the City

"The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That's the worst I think. When the secret stays locked within not for a want of a teller but for an ear." - Stephen King

"You've got to accept the fact that life isn't a fairy tale, things aren't always happily ever after. Things like magic wishes, Prince Charmings and true love don't happen in real life. Magic wishes come from money, Prince Charming's a shallow idiot with a bad haircut and overpriced clothes. And true love? Ha, true love is one-sided, Ace. You love her, she loves someone else. She loves you, you love someone else. Never quite works out does it? So you end up with some actor pretending to be your true love. Real considerate of someone to let you know reality was like that before being thrown into it. 'If you wish, it'll happen.' Well, wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one fills up faster. Welcome to reality. Enjoy your stay."
"Most do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. Instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy. They voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been especially visited upon them, or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their species, and not upon others." - Dr. M.

I mean, seriously, don't be fooled by all the hot shoes and the great sex and the no parents anywhere telling you what to do. Adulthood is responsibility." - Grey's Anatomy
"Maybe our old wounds teach us something. They remind us where we've been and what we've overcome. They teach us lessons about what to avoid in the future. That's what we like to think.

"Nothing stays buried forever. Nothing." - the black dahlia

And then there are those other people, the ones who run as far as they can so they don't have to look at themselves." - Gossip Girl
"Lists, notes, and gossip, is that what everything boils down to after a certain point? Like whatever we are, if we can even figure that out, doesn't matter? The only thing that matters is who and what other people think we are, and how they rank us?" - My So-Called Life
