Every year, the people of Student Council put together weeks filled with wacky-anything days, class color days, and days when teachers and students switch something around.

But every year, less students choose to partake in these events. Class color days do get support- from a group of 12 girls who met the night before and glittered some blue or pink t-shirts. And sure, the football games were filled with supportive fans who went to the shirtless-in-freezing-cold-extremes. Or was that just a cluster of the same forty people at every game?

This year students should try something radical: participating. Don’t let the same seven guys spell “Knights” on their chest at football games. On class color days, try making a sea of uninterrupted green, maroon, blue and purple. When kids say that they hate high school, it’s not because high school unknowingly sucks, high school is what you make it. You can muddle through and tell stories later in life about how you swam against the current for four years; or, you can make it something that you never wanted to leave. And you can’t remember who won that football game you went to shirtless in 49 degree weather because that’s not what mattered.

You won because you were there.
