WHAT TO WEAR: Formal

As the spring semester comes to a close, the month of May is jam packed with end of the year activities for students. From professors giving out their final exams and projects, to student clubs hosting their last meetings, it is no surprise that everyone on campus has reached the home stretch of the race to summer.

Although this time of the year has proven to be exhausting, it is a bittersweet moment as students, especially seniors, reflect on the relationships built and memories made throughout the semester. An example of a time when students say their goodbyes as they enjoy food and dance the night away is during formal events. Similar to prom night in high school, the last formal of the year in college is definitely one you will never forget.
