I feel like prom is such a serious cultural event in Bulgaria that it requires more than just two posts to really get it. I've written <a href="http://www.karolinkabulgaria.com/2012/05/29/bulgarian-prom-the-overview/" target="_blank">an introduction to Bulgarian prom</a> as well as <a href="http://www.karolinkabulgaria.com/2012/06/03/the-american-college-of-sofia-and-prom-2012/" target="_blank">all about my experience at prom</a>.

The conclusion that I am about to write is more analytical  in nature.
