High school prom dresses (some too sexy?)

A dress many think is too sexy for high school proms.

Times are changing, which means so are clothing styles. Prom dresses used to be long, conservative, and flowy and now there are many different styles, some which are considered too sexy for teens.

"I like more of a modest style," junior Hannah Lange said. "The two pieces and slits are too much for a high school prom." That is a matter of opinion, however, but some styles may be taking it a bit too far.

"I think the sexy styles are the mermaid or the see through mid-drift," senior Morgan Gust said.

When picking out a prom dress, just keep in mind that it's still a high school prom and not the Golden Globes.

Are Animals shirts The new ugg?

One of the trendy new animal t-shirts.

A new trend has snuck into Audubon High School, namely animal shirts. The t-shirts depict the face of an animal and take up the much of the real estate of the shirt. Students walk the halls with the faces of wolves, gorillas, tigers, cats, and dogs decorating their shirts. Junior Brianna Goecke said, “I don’t wear them, but others do. I think it gives people a sense of individuality. Also, the boys think it’s cool, too.”

Sophomore Micky Williamson and freshman Tyler Riebhoff used the words “awesome” and “adorable” to describe the shirts. As to the animal shirts origins, Riebhoff said, “I think people are becoming more obsessed with cats, and [Wal-Mart] is where the first cat animal shirt came from.” The speech team has even hopped on this trend by putting a cat on this year's team t-shirt.

A question to ask though is how long will this new fad last? Are animal shirts the new Ugg boot? Or just another Harlem Shake? Goecke thinks it is just another phase.

Williamson said, “It’ll last a little longer, maybe a few months.” Only time will tell if these new found animal shirts are just more dust in the wind, or are here for the long run.

Countdown to the New Year.

It’s out with the old and in with the new for the New Year and people are making resolutions and saying “New Year, new me.” Even though the date on the calendar doesn’t make a difference about who you are as a person, it doesn’t stop people from trying.

Many people think of the New Year as a fresh start and a way to begin again. Junior Matracea Wager looks forward to new memories this year and is excited to go to Puerto Rico over the summer, be a bridesmaid in her brothers wedding, and starting her senior year this coming fall. Ashley Bechtold, sophomore, enjoys New Year because “It will be a new year and you can let go of all the things that happened in the past.” Junior Kiara Brannan-Sporrer says that she looks at is as just a new day and doesn’t see it as anything special.

People make resolutions like kicking bad habits or starting good ones. Bechtold doesn’t have any resolutions and Wagner says she doesn’t make any because she can never follow though with them. Brannan-Sporrer wants to become a better shooter in basketball because she thinks she can improve on it and it’s a good goal to set for herself.

Overall, the New Year or any new day is what you make of it. Not everyone, but many people participate in the traditions of making resolutions and counting down the clock. Goals and new outlooks on life can be made at anytime, but the change of date definitely boosts encouragement for it.
