Formal in Albany

Last weekend was our formal in Albany. My whole sorority bought a bunch of rooms at the holiday inn express, where our formal was held. Originally we were staying two people in a room at a time. We all got thinking about it though and thought that we should just all pile into a room. Sooo, there was eight of us in one room and it we all had so much fun. It was seven girls and one guy, he loved it. Of course getting ready was a little bit hectic though. Everyone was trying to hog the mirrors and we all had to do our hair and our makeup in about an hour and a half so we were rushing like crazy. The formal started at 7:00 but we ended up being about a half hour late. Dinner was from eight until nine and the food was really good. There was chicken, potatoes, vegetables, ziti, rolls, salad, and a lot more. Dessert was by far the best though. For dessert they had out canolis. Where I am from, canolis are rare so when we come across them it’s so great. Our formal ended at 11 and then we all found ourselves downtown partying until four in the morning. Everyone had such a good time. I always thought that Cortland was a lot of fun and that downtown Cortland was fun too but Albany definitely has Cortland beat. That was my first time partying in Albany and it was definitely a good experience. My friends and I already made plans to go back. Overall, formal was a lot of fun and was definitely worth the money spent. I’m hoping that next year we have formal in Albany again so we can do the same thing all over again!
