My New Hero: Girl Takes Her Calculator to Prom
This is the very true story of a girl who didn’t have a date for prom, so she made a little tuxedo for her TI-84 calculator and took that instead.
I swear to god I’m not making fun of her. This is genuinely one of the most badass things I’ve ever seen. The kind of balls it would take to not only do this in real life, but then post it on the internet is astonishing, and she’s a more fearless person than I ever was at her age.
It’s a victory for us nerds that says “I don’t give a shit,” and I wish that all teenagers had this sort of confidence in themselves. Check out more photos of the duo before and at prom below:
Good on her.
We didnt really have proms back when I was at school but even if we had I probably wouldnt have had the courage to even attend.
Best thing since otaku dates. God bless ‘er.
the best part was that her principal emailed about her calculator prom date… and her remark was that he got the material of the tux wrong. (It was silk)
Love her confidence. Love that she has on such a beautiful and classy dress. See girls. You don’t have to compete to see who can wear the most slutty dress.
Is she the new forever alone meme?

That really tugs at my heart strings. I was the ugly “forever alone” duckling in my school years and I just think how she probably cried herself to sleep at night because she had hardly any friends and not a boy in the world to look twice at her. I knew that feel. What she did is awesome, albeit weird and a bit eccentric, but shit, if you gotta live it you might as well embrace it. Kudos to her for making the best of her social situation!
I just want to say… BRAVO! I hope that support finds her. She is certainly bound to have a beautiful, happy, and wonderful life.
Prom date is really Yankee so I don’t care…
This girl is courageously putting up front the absurdities of prom : girl must wait for a boy to invite her to prom or else she’s devastated.
Good on her! And I truly doubt she’ll be forever alone, she is very beautiful if the boys at her school think with the correct heads for once, but then they are teenage boys going through puberty so can’t blame them too much
Invaluable piece . I am thankful for the details ! Does anyone know where my business could possibly access a fillable CUT0068-4S form to work with ?
