Pictures and videos of teenagers falling over themselves trying to outdo each other with the creativity they put into asking each other to prom have been making the rounds on social media but, one teenage girl wasn’t getting any of that love and her reaction to it is nothing short of inspiring.
The girl who goes by the name, Priscilla Samey couldn’t find any boy willing to take her to prom but instead of whining and beating herself up about it like most girls her age would, she picked herself up and showed up with the coolest prom date ever – her acceptance letter to Harvard.
“Couldn’t find a man to accept me for prom so I took a college that did,” she tweeted, alongside a picture of her posing with her uber-cool date.

@prizxillas You had the best date there! I wish I had gone with a college to prom when I was your age.

She might not have had tens of boys lining up asking her to be their date to a silly prom party but Priscilla had 7 out of the 8 Ivy League Schools courting her and that trumps boys all day, every day.
