Homecoming 2013: Was it a must or bust?

Let me just start by saying that I love my school's football team, the Nyack Indians, but this year, I did not have a very enjoyable time at the homecoming game. Needless to say, the dance wasn't much to look at either, honestly I haven't gone since my freshman year, but from what I've heard, it was a miserable experience. First off let me just say that students and staff have put in many hours of their time to create an enjoyable night, so by saying that it was "bad" or "miserable", you are insulting those who have strived to make this dance happen. Second, the teachers might have been overbearing, but they are only doing this just to make sure that nothing inappropriate happens while ensuring that the dance is still fun. Third and most importantly, an experience is only as miserable as you make it out to be, had those students gone in with an open mind and a positive attitude, things might have been better. Finally, if you don't want to go to the dance, THEN DON'T GO, nobody is forcing you to go, so don't put yourself in the spot to say that it was miserable by forcing yourself to go anyway. Remember these four things an maybe next will be a lot better, even if the lights do go off half way during the dance.
