So It's Spirit Week...

What the hell is going on? People are wearing strange colors, ripping their shirts, painting their faces, yelling and screaming, and basically raising hell. What's causing this chaos to happen? Oh wait, it's spirit week. A week where people show their support for school by dressing up and support for their class by competing during field day. That's pretty cool, what are they competing for. A bucket?  That's it? hmmm, that seems pretty dumb. In all honesty, spirit week is kinda dumb. Logically, it makes zero sense. Dressing up is fun, i'll grant spirit week that, but the rest just seems dumb. Thursday is a mix of fun and confusion. Everyone dresses up in their class's color. That makes sense. Ripping shirts, painting faces, and screaming? Minus the screaming, that seems weird. How does ripping my shirt and painting my face show support for my senior class? Outside of showing my enthusiam for spirit week, it doesn't seem to support much because now I have a useless shirt and I have to a shower to get the paint off... Anyway, on to the games. The games are a fun way for the classes to compete, so that makes sense, but why are we competing for a bucket. Why not a giant trophy or a prize? There would certainly be more incentive to avidly compete. But now spirit week is over, and it's friday. The bucket has been won, and the class with the most spirit has been announced. It was fun, and being a senior, I'm glad to say that it's finally over. No more getting yelled at for not dressing up, and no more stress about winning a stupid bucket.
