Engagement at Gala

wow if u r friends with David "Sush" Sushinsky u would kno that somebody...
just...
proposed at Gala!!! (aka college prom)

below is the PROOF from facebook (also thx ken 4 the shoutout #historyteacherbros)

I mean first of all, shoutout 2 Sush/Sushe for liking his own status

I mean first of all, congratulations to the happy couple, I wish them the best.

but

huh so a "proposal" at gala...college prom

IDK is this legit or tacky ???


Is this akin to proposing to ur gf (GUYS, I SWEAR IM NOT A VIRGIN) or is this a legit thing, via being more mature ???

[editor's note: if you google youtube for 'prom proposal' it's not people proposing at prom, it's people proposing to their significant other to go to prom??? what happened to the "do u wanna pretend to go 2 prom but just get drunk in the limo check yes or no" letter snuck into their locker????]

Is proposing to someone in front of ur 300+ "closest friends" pretty legit or kinda tacky/makes it hard to say no ???

did ppl instagram this? what is the word on the 'yik yak' ???

well either way i hope they wait til marriage!!!

also s/o 2 my favorite SMCM couple, liz and john, so excited 2 c u 2 "tie the knot" (hopefully not a slipknot! via sailing jokes) in less than a month #hopeIcatchthebouquet

Senior Gala/College Prom Omnibus Guide!

Senior Gala (AKA College Prom) is coming up soon! A magical night of dancing and drinking with your fellow students and professors. It's a pretty pricey event though, so here is a guide to sneaking in, as I did circa 2010:

How to sneak into Gala

• Don't arrive early, and make sure it is dark outside! That way when people with flashlights try to follow and apprehend you, it will be more difficult and you can escape
• Don't try to go through the main entrance. walk around the whole perimeter until you find a quiet area to sneak into
• Act confident
• If you are worried that the people behind you with flashlights are trying to kick you out, just keep walking and blend in with the crowd
• Dress fancy
• Pregame to the extent that you are comfortable with sneaking into a $70 event, but no so much that you will be stumbling around

Just when is Gala? The date and location has changed over the years, let's look at a quick recap

• 2010 - At the Brome Howard Inn, starting around 8PM?
• 2011 -  At the Brome Howard Inn, starting around 8PM going until 12AM (idk I bought a lot of those lil' drink tickets)
• 2012 - The location changes to Maggie O'Brien's house, time remains the same. Location probably changed because Brome Howard Inn employees didn't feel like cleaning up until 4AM. Nearby residents complained about a large bacchanalia occurring on a Thursday night, so this location was not used again
• 2013 - Back to the Brome Howard, but now it starts earlier? 7-11 so that there is more clean up time.

IDK how accurate that is, but for staff and professors the Gala goes until the next morning apparently #typos

What to do at Gala

• Get a plate full of shrimp, walk over to a log overlooking the river, and proceed to spend half an hour eating shrimp by yourself
• Dance with Bob Paul
• Take a limo there
• Confess your affections to First Year crushes
• Dance
• Drink
• Cry over the fact that you graduate in 36 hours

Enjoy seniors!!!
