In typical internet fashion, many prom-goers took to Twitter to share their most embarrassing and hilarious moments from what was meant to be one of the greatest nights of their lives.

A universal truth: It wouldn't be prom night without a few fails. But it looks like these Twitter users came out the other side with fun memories and grace, even if the night wasn't everything they originally expected.
