As Homecoming Day draws ever so near, males and females alike are scrambling to prepare their proposal to their significant other. As proposals continue to pop up on your Facebook feeds and snapchat stories, it can be all too easy to lose sight of the true spirit of these actions. Here are a few thoughts of the students of IMSA to get you in the homecoming mood:<\/p>\n
Many homecoming proposals are between couples who are already dating. These proposals, while not entirely huge on the surprise factor, still have a lot of heart. One junior is getting ready to propose to his girlfriend; he says, \u201cI\u2019m expecting that she\u2019ll say yes, given that she already knows that I\u2019m asking her, because I\u2019m a terrible liar.\u201d A conversation with said girlfriend confirms this; she comments, \u201cI don\u2019t want it to be flashy. In my opinion, proposals that are flashy lose the sentiment. They\u2019re not as meaningful.\u201d<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a common theme in that sentiment. Another junior comments, \u201cWhat makes a good homecoming proposal is when the proposal is intimate and personal. It signifies a deeper bond.\u201d Likewise, one senior prefers \u201csomething thoughtful and not too public because then it feels like you\u2019re pressuring them into going\u201d. If there\u2019s anything you want to draw from this advice, it\u2019s to take into account the feelings of the other person, especially if you\u2019re not 100% sure they\u2019ll go- how will they feel when you propose to them in front of their entire wing? Is denial even a choice for that person? A misleading impression can prove for a very embarrassing situation for the both of you.<\/p>\n
Overall, though, the general attitude is high. One girl who had been proposed to remembers, \u201cI kind of already knew what was happening and as I walked out there I was trying to think of how he would ask me. I thought the whole thing was really cute so I was happy\u201d. \u00a0And remember- homecoming isn\u2019t the most important thing in your life. It isn\u2019t your prom, or your graduation. Especially to sophomores; your social life is not<\/em> defined but this one dance.<\/p>\n With that, the ACRONYM wishes all of you good luck in your homecoming proposals, as all of you continue to pick out dresses and suits, order the right food, and make sure to take lots of pictures.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As Homecoming Day draws ever so near, males and females alike are scrambling to prepare their proposal to their significant other.
