Dressed to thrill, but it's a pain

My past few columns dealt with the upcoming graduation and the summer months, and this shall be no exception.

I've made some observations after attending my Senior Prom (graduation ball) recently.

We like to put ourselves in pain.

Arriving at my prom was in itself a painful experience. I wore a full suit with a pair of leather shoes that were slowly 'crushing' my heels. I thought this was the result of my lack of foresight.

I was wearing those shoes for the first time so my feet were bound to be covered with blisters.

I was wrong! Everyone was complaining about something: either their shoes were hurting their feet like mine, or their jackets were too hot or their ties were strangling them.
