I loved it in high school. It was technically our homecoming week but it was always a lot of fun. We’ve never really had/needed one at OU because our sports are always good. I understand in a work setting it might be a little strange, but the best thing on things like this is to try to embrace it and have fun. You get what what you put into it
had the same experience in hs. just let go of being worried about being judged: when everyone else is doing it, its not something that people will really call you out for joining in.
that said, if you legitimately dont like being carefree about what you do then dont take part. it shouldnt feel mandatory, and maybe absorb the happiness of those participating that are enjoying it
