Homecoming is one of the biggest events for high school students, a night where you dress your best, have fun with friends, and dance. This year’s homecoming was similar to last year’s homecoming in a couple of different ways, but one major difference was the theme of this year’s homecoming, which was “Up,” inspired by the Pixar movie. Another big change was the trend of what students wore like the style of dresses, and what boys wore suits. Most girls said that they were gonna wear blue dresses,and guys said that they were gonna wear a suit with an undershirt. This shows how different the style trends of homecoming every year can change. There were some changes, but many students have had mixed opinions about how homecoming was. Students think that there should have been more new things to do, while others think that the vibe of this year’s homecoming was better. Senior Adam Jumah personally feels that last year’s homecoming was better. “Homecoming was better last year because this year we still had the same DJ. He wasn’t taking any song requests, and I just liked last year’s homecoming more.”
Adam also stated, “It was kind of crowded because we weren’t in the main gym. But overall the main staff,people were very nice, the line to get in wasn’t too long, and there were many snacks and drinks but it was similar to last year’s homecoming.” Adams’ views show how similar last year’s homecoming is to this year’s homecoming. Other students had a more pleasant time at this year’s homecoming. Senior Amiris Storrs, otherwise known as the Homecoming Queen said “I liked this year’s homecoming because I won homecoming Queen, and also I liked it because of the homecoming theme. Junior Rumman Chohan also thought that this year’s homecoming was better.“ I personally think this year’s homecoming was better because they had better songs, and better food and drinks. They also had more decor than last year’s dance.”
Both Rumman, and Amiris’s opinion showed how small differences can change the impact of homecoming, and make it better with food and snacks. Also, the theme and decorations can make homecoming more fun. Even though Homecoming last year and this year weren’t that different, it still gave a lot of students great memories with their friends. Some students may believe that this year’s homecoming was better because of the theme and decorations, while some students believe last year’s homecoming was better because of the vibe. At the end of the day, homecoming is to have fun with friends and to have a great time.
