This Teen Took Her Harvard Acceptance Letter To Prom Instead Of A Date

Because who even needs boys?
Twitter

Priscilla Samey found herself without a date to her high school’s prom on Saturday night, so the Minnesota-based teen did what any reasonable woman would do ― she took her Harvard University acceptance letter as her date instead.

The teen, who was also accepted to six other Ivy League universities, tweeted a flawless photo in her flawless grown with Harvard’s letter on Saturday.

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