Thoughts When You Don’t Make the Homecoming Court Top 10

Top Ten committee members have no chill
Many girls grow up aspiring to become homecoming queen, but not all have the confidence to try it out. Those who do have the confidence can apply their senior year of high school. After making a video and answering questions, a committee of Jesuit student council and staff select the Top 10 girls. These are the feelings of the girls who don’t get chosen.
Walking up to hear the big news from Mrs. Krukar

Scoping out the competition

Feeling confident, but one can never be too confident

Waiting for your name to be called

Shocked when you don’t hear your name

Feeling like you’re not pretty enough or don’t know the right people

Wondering what you should’ve done differently

Realizing that you’re still #flawless

Feeling independent without male validation

Laughing about how much you cared

Congratulating and supporting our sisters that did make the top ten, and the top five
