Usually homecoming is the one time of year that high schoolers are excited about school. Every day of the week is a dress up day and an activity in which all of the classes compete against each other. Not only that, but there is a lot of commotion going on outside of school with tp-ing, car painting, et cetera. Everyone typically gets pretty pumped up about it, with good reason. But lately things are changing at our high school. The dress up days have changed, to the point where we don't even have class color day; We no longer do the "hush button" activity, where you have to steal the buttons of the other classes; Tp-ing and car painting are suddenly serious things where the police get involved and even the kids seem to overreact and make a big deal about it. It's homecoming and it's supposed to be fun, but it seems like they are taking away all of the funnest things about it. It appears that every generation seems to get ripped off more and more every year. Sometimes, change isn't always good, and I fail to believe that I am the only one thinking this. The activities during homecoming week are classics; they were already great to begin with and I feel it is best to let some things stay the same. Our generation needs to blow off steam sometimes, and homecoming is that time for us. So maybe, from now on, we should just let that one be.
