Homecoming

Homecoming is always an interesting experience. I think what many people have been saying, that people often take it for granted or look at it in the wrong way, is often true. This week has the potential to bring a class together, but that takes a pretty good attitude from pretty much everybody, which is incredibly hard; maybe impossible. In my experience though, the more you put into homecoming the more you get out of it. If you get into the events and just have fun with it (don't take it too seriously... I mean we have girls playing football... honestly...) then you can get some pleasure out of it and even a sense of accomplishment. Plus, it's just some time to get out of the daily routine of school. Now, the dance itself could be a topic all on its own. For myself, dances have always been just so-so (my favorite part is always the after party if that says anything...). They're fun, but probably not what I would choose to do with my free time, which is fine since they're only a few times a year. They're a good time to let loose a little and have fun, which I believe is healthy. Of course, people will always take it too far, as seems to happen with many good things. But overall I think homecoming always has potential to be a fun, unique, memorable time. The rest is up to the students.
