This realm is where school spirit goes to fade. No yelling for the home team here, just calm. We appreciate individuality over conformity. If you're looking for spirited events, this won't be your spot. We welcome those who like a more chill atmosphere.

Let's acknowledge it, school spirit isn't for all. Sometimes you just need a break from the hustle. Here in the Zero School Spirit Zone, we give that escape. Come and join us for some quiet contemplation.

Here to grab the Lunch

Let's be real, sometimes you're just there/present/around for one reason: the grub. Don't/Never/Try not to judge! It's a universal truth that a tasty dish/spread/plate of food can be the best/main/primary motivator for showing up anywhere. Whether it's a work gathering/event/function, a family occasion/celebration/get-together, or just a plain old day/time/moment, that promise of deliciousness can make/sweeten/seal the deal.

• Sometimes/Occasionally/Rarely it's about the company/atmosphere/vibe.
• Often/Frequently/Almost always it's all about that deliciousness/yum/tasty treat.

Who/Who/Let's be honest can blame/say no/resist a good lunch? It's the fuel that keeps/powers/drives us through life/the day/work.

{Game Day? More Like Nap Day|{Chill Day? More Like Snooze Fest|Couch Day? More Like Zzz Time

Okay, so, let's be real. Game night is basically just a fancy excuse to crash. The hype starts way before the actual game even begins, and by kickoff, everyone's already in that pre-snooze state. I mean, have you ever seen someone more determined than a human about to take a nap? It's like they can't wait the tension.

• This is why I always pack my comfiest blanket and maybe even a eye mask. You never know when that unstoppable need to catch some zzz’s is going to kick in.
• Just
even try to tell me you aren't fallen asleep during a game. We've all been there.

So, the next time someone says "Game {Day!Night!|Let’s Get Hype!!|It's On!" just smile and nod. Then, grab your snacks, find the comfiest spot on the couch, and get ready for a long, wonderful nap.

Wearing This Is Like Wearing Jail

Every morning/day/time I wake up, I'm reminded of the bars/walls/boundaries that confine me. Putting on this uniform/Donning this dress code/Slipping into this mandatory attire feels like a sentence, a restriction/limitation/confinement on my freedom/ability to express myself/personality. It strips away/erases/conceals who I truly am and forces me into a mold/box/role that doesn't fit/suit/match me.

• It's not just the clothes, it's the feeling of being controlled/oppressed/dehumanized.
• We're not allowed/permitted/encouraged to be individuals/unique/ourselves when we have to wear this.
• This uniform is a symbol/reminder/constant of the lack of choice/powerlessness/restrictions we face every day.

I long for the day/When I can shed this/uniform/dress code/sentence and be free/myself/who I truly am.

School Spirit? Not My Thing

Ugh, school is the worst. I mean, who even cares about having bragging rights? All that stress over a competition is just not my scene. I'd rather be {doinghanging out with friends than cheering for some meaningless mascot. Let's be real, school should be about getting through it, not this whole superficial pride thing.

• Seriously at all the stress they put on us to belong. It's like they want us to be sheep
• Show me a world where being yourself is valued over empty traditions

My Backpack's Heavier Than My Fandom

Seriously though, my backpack/bag/rucksack is packed solid/stuffed to the brim/bursting at the seams with books/papers/textbooks. I swear, it's heavier/weightier/more burdensome than my whole fandom/fan base/community combined. My friends/fellow fans/supporters are super chill/understanding/cool about it though, they know I'm always carrying/transporting/dragging around a mountain/ton/pile of schoolwork/assignments/reading. Maybe someday I'll get to leave it behind/ditch read more it/abandon it and just focus on being fangirl/enjoying the fandom/sharing my love, but for now, this burden/responsibility/weight is part of the journey.

• I dream of a day when...
• It's all worth it though!/The fandom keeps me going!/My passion fuels this weight!
