Prama (noun): drama that ensues before, during or after a high school prom.
I first heard the word prama early in my senior year of high school (yes, a long time ago). By winter break I had fully learned its meaning. The buildup to prom can be filled with anxiety, awkwardness and, of course, tons of drama. Thankfully, all that prama can be worth it when you fill your prom with good friends and fun plans. I happily remember eating at a fancy Italian restaurant before prom and having a blast hanging out with friends during prom. If you find yourself thinking about a future prom, or looking back at one in the past, check out one of the following reads about the big day. May the good times always outweigh the prama!
