Ten Ways to Ask Your Date to For(mal) The Kids

Megan Fullarton is the 2016 Entertainment Chair

Fall is here, and you know what that means: the smell of PSL is in the air, missing bricks are hidden by leaves, and you’re frantically calling Mom to ask if she can mail your footie pajamas for these brisk 50 degree nights. If your Facebook is anything like mine, you’re also seeing pictures of your high school siblings heading off to their homecoming dance after being asked by some creep with a sign and flowers. If you’ve got a special someone who you’re trying to impress, look no further - those cheesy homecoming and prom-posals have been revamped to help you snag a bae to bring to For(mal) The Kids.
​

1. As they walk out of class, surprise them with a sign and flowers. Or Linda’s cheese fries.
2. “Borrow” their keys to grab their minivan from the RR lot, park it outside their dorm, and spell it out in Carolina blue sticky notes.
3. Paint a giant banner and hang it across the pit during a class change.
4. Show up in their dorm with a Sunrise biscuit as they’re leaving for their 8am class.
5. While they’re getting a second helping of fries in Rams, rearrange their fruit salad to spell out “For(mal)?”. Better yet, steal all of the pineapple pieces and use those.
6. Spell it out with blue cups.
7. Get an a cappella group to serenade them during class. Bonus points if you rap as an encore.
8. Find them in Davis while they’re napping instead of studying, then type, “Will you go to For(mal) with me?” in the middle of their class Google doc.
9. Swipe right, and ask them to sign up to dance - er, I mean, be your date to For(mal).
10. Show them your smooth moves by catching them after they trip on a brick.
