Should You Go To Homecoming?

Can’t decide whether homecoming is worth going to? Well, like I mentioned in my earlier post I would recommend trying something new this year and what better way then going to a school dance? It doesn’t really matter if you're with a date or a group of friends, the fun part is getting all dressed up and going out to have a good time. I know school dances can be VERY cheesy but the best part is having fun with your friends and looking classy while doing it.

Something that you probably didn’t know about me is that I am a competitive swimmer and homecoming is right in the middle of our season. So, when I was a freshman and sophomore I went in a group of mostly upperclassmen swimmers, and had a blast. It was a great opportunity to get to know my teammates better. We only ended up staying at the dance for about an hour but we still had a great time tearing up the dance floor. This year, however, I was asked by one of my good friends to go with him. We are going with other couples in our friend group, ten others to be exact.

For all of the guys reading this I just want to say this, one of the best parts of homecoming is getting asked. The cuter and more extravagant the better! If you are scared she will say no, don’t be. If you ask in a good enough way she will probably say yes, unless she already has a date. Either way I recommend going with a group because it is a lot more fun to get dressed up with friends and have dinner with them. It’s not every day you can get dressed up in your nicest clothes and see everyone else do the same.

Anyway, don’t think of homecoming as a cheesy school dance that only the “cool” or “popular” kids go to. Trust me, I am not a girly girl, or peppy, or have even that much school spirit. But think of homecoming as another excuse to not do homework all weekend and actually have fun with your friends.

Helpful Tip: If you are not in the school dance mood you can still have a fun homecoming night! Gather up your friends and just hang out, you could always use an excuse to do that right? Have a movie night, or a bonfire, whatever your little heart desires.
