Journal #13: Homecoming Spirit

I love homecoming week because everyone... (well not everyone)... dresses up and participates and if they do, it makes the week really fun! For our week, Monday was hat and jersey day. Tuesday was cowboy/cowgirl day. Wednesday was 80's day. Thursday is class color day, and Friday is school spirit day.

I hate it when people do not actually dress up for school spirit day. It really annoys me. I mean, take 80's day for example. I went all out. I had the green neon converse with pink leg warmers, blue tights, short shorts, loose shirt hung over a bright green tank top, with a pink neon mesh shirt thing over the other shirt. I had tons of jewelry and makeup and my hair in a curly side pony tail. It was so much fun! But of course, even with the neon track suits, side pony tails, spiked hair, loose bright clothing, converse, and bulky jewelry, there were people dressed in regular clothing. WHY????? That is no fun. People say, I will look like a loser if I dress up in 80's attire. But really, they look like losers if they don't dress up. It is just fun to dress up like people did 30 years ago. It just bugs me when people don't dress up because they think they are too cool for it (not true) or if they are too lazy to do it.

Also, school spirit day is really fun because nearly everyone dresses in red or blue, and some people go all out, and paint their faces and look like smerfs. Haha. It is just fun to be in the spirit of things, and those people who do not dress up or participate during homecoming week are just depriving themselves of a great time. Plus the homecoming week activities lead us into homecoming, and the more fun the week was, usually that carries into the dance, and makes it more fun. Of course that also depends on the DJ and music he plays, but you get the idea.

So if you are contemplating whether to go all out during homecoming or spirit week, do it, because I guarantee, no matter how ridiculous you look along with other people, you will have way more fun than the people who think they are too cool (which they aren't) to dress up and participate during the week!
