A US student’s composite photo uploaded to Twitter is sending the platform into a frenzy, starting its own viral trend.
On Monday, Caitlin Crowley, a 17-year-old Florida student, uploaded two photos side-by-side. One was in freshman year, and the other in senior year.
On one side, she stood awkwardly beside her male prom date, and on the other, she passionately embraced her girlfriend.
“Freshman to senior year, does this count as a glo up?” she captioned the image.
A ‘glow-up’, something I absolutely did not have to look up and confidently knew at the forefront of my brain (ahem), is an incredible transformation.
Or, in Urban Dictionary‘s words – AKA the purveyor of all things good and true – it means, “to go from the bottom to the top to the point of disbelief”.

rubbish
Why is this rubbish?
If I had to take a guess, I'd guess it's that by saying "to go from the bottom to the top to the point of disbelief" about two dates means you're saying one of them is the worst to comparatively build the other up.
Or something totally else... not sure...
I was confused because I figured these young people were simply “glo’ing” about their decision to “come out” :)
I just hope none of the young blokes in the prom photos are like "I'm the bottom/worst?" but being an over thinker, that's probably me projecting my fear onto them.
