Why I Like Pep Rallys

Pep rallys. The most wasteful waste of time ever. Glorious. So gloriously wasteful. I love pep rallys.

Pep rallys give you a chance to talk and relax. To talk to your friends. When I talk to my friends, I relax from the humdrum that is school. We pay no heed to the ongoing events; we just blab away. We can barely hear each other, but we can hear. That’s enough for me.

But that isn’t the only reason I like pep rallys. It’s not even the main reason.

You get to skip class! It wastes so much time! It’s great! It lets you get a break—a break. A break from the monotonous, dull, flat, empty wasteland that is the desert that nerds go to die in. Cardboard is more entertaining. It oozes with boredom. A peer of mine, Grant A, put it well. “As a teenager, it is my duty to hate school.” Wether it is duty or not, I hate school anyway. Remember, Cardboard. Desert. Nerds.

Sure, pep rallys have their drawbacks—such as ruptured eardrums due to the noise—but they’re worth it.

Pep rallys are a wonderful waste of time.

Sure, it’s bad, but it could be worse.

Choose the lesser of two evils.
