After-homecoming blues

Homecoming is anticipated from the moment school starts till the hour before the dance.  The talk of dresses, parties, dinner, pictures, and "who will ask me?" runs around the school halls. The Monday after the dance is complete and the hype is over; the halls are filled with the after-homecoming blues.

What is there to look forward to now?  There is no winter dance or spring dance. There is no more hype or talk of the anticipation of a dance. Of course, there is Prom and Sadie's, but Prom does not include the whole school, and Sadie's is not a dance. Sadie's is fun and gives those who can’t go to a dance a chance to go to an event, but why can’t  they allow everyone to attend Sadie's and Prom?

The Homecoming blues leaves everyone moping around school wanting another dance. Homecoming isn’t just a dance, it’s a night of fun, friends, dancing, laughing, and many memories that will never be forgotten.  Homecoming blues should be healed with the anticipation of another dance during the second semester. Homecoming blues is a serious problem, and needs to be taken care of as soon as possible.
