I am so ready for this week to be over. Since it was Spirit Week for Homecoming at my school, we've had fun dress up days every day, so every single day this week has felt like it should be a Friday. And because my school is possibly the most spirited place in the world (which I LOVE!), tomorrow's going to be an all-day party that continues through the night with our pep rally and street dance.
Every Friday with a football game is Spirit Day, and everybody rocks their blue and gold. When we have home games, the Poms and cheerleaders wear their uniforms and everyone else sports Pep Club (Yes, that exists at my school. Yes, I am a member =]) t-shirts, crazy glitter, and anything else to add to their spirit. It's fantastic. There's a feeling of togetherness that everyone feeds off of.
The Friday before Homecoming is even better. Because it's Homecoming, everyone goes crazy. Lightning bolt tattoos are handed out in the morning, there's blue and gold everywhere you turn, and you can honestly feel the excitement and electricity in the air. It's great because all of our teachers and staff are into it too, and we usually have a fairly easy day of classes.
I have a lot of school spirit. More than most people, and I guess it's to be expected from me. I'm on Poms, I love watching football and basketball, I love being involved, and–I'll admit it–I'll take any excuse to wear my favorite gold liquid glitter eyeliner.
The Homecoming Pep Rally is my favorite part of the whole Homecoming weekend. Honestly, it's probably one of the most fun events of the entire year. It's really the only time that the entire student body gets packed into the Titan Dome, the Varsity Poms dance (I'm SO excited for my first Pep Rally that I'll be spending out on the floor and not in the stands!), the cheerleaders do their routine, and the Homecoming Queen and court is announced. After the Pep Rally (which starts at nine) is over, everyone goes out to one of the courtyards for a huge party and to work on the floats for the parade the following morning.
So yeah, I love my school. Tomorrow, I'll be rocking my Poms uniform and my lightning bolt tattoos, and later I'll be dancing the night away at Pep Rally and the street dance.
Go South!
