Opinion: Clothing Blues

Clothing Blues

Since I have been at the Dixie High community I have noticed that people wear a lot of drab clothing. 


I constantly see people wearing shirts with certain sayings or fancy lettering, or maybe even more than ten people with the same shirt or pants, but this style of clothing is boring. 


Seeing the same things every day can become a downer on society, we're not meant to be zombies with serial numbers on our necks. 


It would be nice to see some individuality; people should change their clothing to show their personality.

The lights sparkled on the entrance decorations; the garden created a magical feeling as people walked in; all the while, loud music pumped the adrenaline through the students as they danced together, as couples, and by their lonesome.

The most popular day dates the couples enjoyed were everything from the movies to Anti-Gravity, but none of it compared to what awaited them later that night.

Preference was a night of memories: the dance, the refreshments, all the energy everybody had put into it, all coming together to make a miraculous dance. 

“Hanging out with friends and being with everybody,” was Dixie junior Kent Hess's favorite part of Preference. Groups of friends were stationed around the tables where the refreshments sat, laughing and talking, some out on the dance floor, but all of them together having a blast, nonetheless.

Girls' Week 2012

Girls' Week 2012

Although most girls would agree that every week is girls girls week, January 23rd through the 27th was set aside to make this fact public. There were a lot of activities that went on that week. 


On Monday the girls got Sugar Daddies and the schedules were handed out; Tuesday was Singled Out in the the small gym; Wednesday was Zumba Sweat and Pizza Factory bread sticks and salads during lunch in the small gym. On Thursday there was a braiding bar at lunch put on by one of the local hair schools. Friday was speed dating during lunch; and finally Saturday was the preference dance which was held in the small gym.


"My favorite activity was Zumba for sure! It was my favorite not only because Zumba is super fun, but because we had a HUGE turnout. That alone made the whole activity! Our instructor Kerry Langston was a blast also, she was so crazy and fun! In my opinion all of girls week was a success," said Emma Pasley after being asked what her favorite activity for girls week was. 


The same question was asked to Abby Christensen and this is what she said, "Um... I loved the braiding bar because you were able to play with people's hair and mingle with your girlfriends. Also because it was super fun just to mess around!" 


Then finally Junior, Briell Stuart replied to this question by saying, "The free caramel things."


And that is what happened during Girls Week.
