Most people look back at their high school years and cringe at the things they did to appear cool or to standout in the crowd of awkward teens. Well, one New Jersey teen will be able to look back on her junior prom and say, "Wow, that was goth."
In a year of ridiculous promposals and all things prom, 17-year-old Pennsauken High School junior Megan Flaherty absolutely killed her entrance to her school's junior prom on Saturday when she showed up in a hearse.
'Sure,' you might say, 'she got a weird limo, cool bro.'

According to NJ.com, Flaherty hopes to become a funeral director, and yes, she did check with her date to make sure the whole death thing was cool before she picked him up in the hearse before prom.
"I like being different," she told NJ.com.
Thankfully, someone grabbed a video of this mildly awkward and definitely weird entrance for all of the internet to see, and as you could guess, not everyone loved it.
While some people did find the entrance a fun and interesting way for Flaherty to enter the dance, others (on YouTube, mind you) called it "classless, tasteless, and insensitive," and thought the whole thing was a disrespectful attention grab.
"She's going to look back on this when she's 35 and sigh, said one commenter.
Others came to Flaherty's defense, saying it was a "harmless bit of fun," and that the haters were "party poopers."
And then of course, there were a bunch of people that made the creepy and corny joke that she was "drop-dead gorgeous."
After the backlash grew, Megan's mother, Susan Armstrong Flaherty, wrote a post defending her daughter on Facebook.
"Megan decided about a year ago that this is the profession she will [sic] enter into," Susan wrote. "She has already made her choice of a school. She has already donated her time to helping in funeral services. The hearse driver is her mentor. No disrespect meant."
