Were you big on 'school spirit' and 'pep'?

If both of them came in bottles, the answer is YES.
-
Nope, I was a Vo-Tech kid and never was accepted at my high school. All the better since I didn't like anyone that went to my high school anyways. :)
-
No, I hated the whole thing. I hid in a classroom to avoid 'pep rallies'. If I did get caught and forced to go I sat there, head down, with my hands over my ears wishing everyone would be quiet. I am not good with noise, I am terrible with crowds.... and I never saw the point.

LOL. Not at all. ~+~
-
Somewhat. I enjoyed going to pep rallys in the gym when it cut into classes. When they changed the pep rally to start after school, I stopped going. I marched in the parades because I was in Band.
-
For my first two years of H.S. yes. I was a cheerleader. My last two years, I wasn't as much into it.
-
Definitely in high school, but no so much in college.
-
Never understood the whole thing at all. It made no sense to me.
-
No but I did see a few high school football / basketball games. Since my college was the perennial whipping boy of the A-10 I enjoyed every victory they got which was rare.
-
No and not too many of my classmates were either.
-
Nope

No, I felt it was a waste of my time. I went to school to learn. I truly resented when the whole school would close for a game. I also thought forced school spirit was very lame. Having a big crowd for the newspaper cameras, when at least a third did not want to be there is an example of forced.

Being brainwashed is not my thing.

Not at all. It was just school, a place to learn things. It wasn't anything social for me. I lived 30 miles away and had a horse and the beach and hills. Nothing but knowledge interested me at school. I'm not into noise or team sports like at my HS or pageantry, any of that.
