WINTER FORMAL 2007

Winter formal came and went last Friday evening with much excitement and fanfare. It was much anticipated and planned for by nearly all the students on the Saint Leo University campus. I was one of them. I had been hearing about the famous winter formal ever since I got here in August. It is the ultimate formal event for the school year. Everyone was busy in the few days leading up to the event making final preparations for the big night. Some were buying elegant outfits. Some were trying to find dates. Others, me included, were simply trying to change our dates for the night.

However, the night came and we all made our way into four exquisite buses arranged by the university. We were on our way to the a la carte dinner and ballroom about an hour from campus. We had a great deal of fun on the buses and nonstop photographs. Everyone looked absolutely stunning. When we finally got there we realized how wonderfully decorated the dining hall and ballroom was. The food was great and no one could complain. The highlight of the evening, however, was on the dance floor. We all had fun and went on bad to the soulful music played by the skillful DJ. There were photos, photos, and even more “interesting photos.” We could not have asked for a better night.

The end came much too soon for nearly everybody though. We were all still enjoying ourselves. By the end of the night we were tired yet extremely happy. I am glad I actually decided to attend winter formal 2007. I definitely had a lot of fun. I can hardly wait for Winter Formal 2008. I will definitely be there.
