This Girl Just Won at Life by Taking Her Harvard Acceptance Letter to Prom

Looking back at my high school experience, probably the most stressful thing I ever had to do was find a prom date. He had to be cute, nice, smart, funny, oh and look like Zac Efron. Super simple list, I know. But if I had done what Priscilla Samey did, I would have never had that problem. 

After finding herself dateless just days before her prom, Samey did what any person would do in that situation: she took her Harvard University acceptance letter as her date instead, according to the Huffington Post. Yup, you read that right. 

“Couldn’t find a man to accept me for prom so I took a college that did,” she wrote on Twitter.

Just minutes later, her photos went viral with support from the internet pouring in. I mean, how could it not, truly?
