Prom is one of the privileges that students get to participate in their senior year. Although many students choose to go to the dance, many students also choose to pass up on the chance and make other plans instead. People who will pass up on prom want to replace the experience with doing something else for entertainment.

Here are the top ten things that people have preferred over prom:

1) Go on a mini road trip for the day. If you have a group of friends who are all planning to skip prom, take everyone on a day-long trip.

2) Take some friends or your family to the movies for the night.

3) Do something you usually don’t get to do, like go camping or fishing.

4) Have a bonfire with family and/or friends.

5) Take the day to treat yourself or someone else and go to the spa or beach and relax.

6) For the daring and adventurous, an option may be to try SKYDIVING….If you’re at least 18.

7) Have a movie marathon, and Netflix can be your date.

8) Go out for a fancy dinner with a few friends and just hang out for the evening.

9) One option is to not go to the dance, and just go to after prom.

10) Spend the night with a couple of friends and spend the entire weekend with them, just like the people at prom will be doing (just minus the $$$).

Just because you aren’t going to prom doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make the best of your weekend. And your wallet will sure thank you.
