I'm starting my freshman year in high school on Wednesday, and to kick it off, there's been some bullstuff orientation program called "Freshman Focus Camp" which has gone on for the past few days and ended at two in the afternoon today. Just a bunch of activities to get us "pumped" for high school. They separated us into three teams by color (Red, yellow, green) and had us create names, cheers, and general nonsense for some big pep rally that, according to our focus leaders (selected overachievers juniors and seniors) would reach volumes to combat a rock concert. We got colored bands the first day, made of a type of paper that was so tough that I had to take scissors to it to get it off, and so tight that it left an indentation on my wrist when I finally got it off. The next day we had to dress in our team's colors and try to beat the other two teams in some inter-team challenge crap, whose only reward would be bragging rights. Our team won and the uproar about blew my eardrums out. It was horrible. I came home and texted my friend saying, "Is this what a hangover feels like?"
I don't know. Discuss similar happenings.
