Dear Anders,

I have just picked out the best prom dress ever! The only issue is that another girl picked out the exact same dress. I’m not sure what to do. I really want to keep the dress, so what should I do?

Sincerely,

Personal Promperty

Dear Personal Promperty,

Trust me, I feel your pain. Whenever I wear my red pants and another friend wears the same pants I get pretty mad. We’re all special snowflakes, but we all want to be more special than everyone else. In terms of prom dresses, there are plenty for everyone in the world… or at least for our school. If you have the same dress as someone else, just find another. Just kidding! Everyone knows that a prom dress is the most important aspect of any high school girl’s life. Your dress is destined to be with you; it is ONLY FOR YOU. If someone else even looks at your dress funny, it is a direct attack.

In this dog-eat-dog world of dress shopping, you need to mark your territory before someone tries to take it. Post that dress all over Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Make it known this is YOUR dress and even if you weren’t the first to find it, you are the only one worthy of it.

Good luck!

Anders
