Muck Up Day

Today, well for most schools, was Muck-Up Day. Yes, that time in October was already upon us, where the future leaders of the world, in all their glory, enjoy the sheer pleasure of the social custom of creating havoc for their leaving schools. My school however, did not participate in the Muck-Up parade.
I do not know if its because we are smarter than others, more mature, or because our school is so small, that culprits could be caught easily, that prevented the general stupidity, of which is muck-up day.
I myself, am a fan of a more harmless muck-up day, where no one is targetted, or very few are targetted, and nothing that would create trouble for the school.

The night before, kids from my old school were hyping up the day for events in which they hoped to bring great havoc, while secretly we all knew they would pussy out in the end, because:
one: the were year 11's.
two: they were wogs or girls talking it up
three: the worst that had happened for them, in the week coming up to this point, was someone writing 'EMINEM' on the side of the building.

Now, this would just point out that the person who did is a jackass.

But that is not the point. What is the point though, is what is muck-up day for?
The leaving class to display their feelings of the school through devastation?
What if, like me, you love your current school?
How would I counter this then?

Well, first by explaining muck-up day.
The leaving grade, on their last day of school before SWOT VAC, and taking exams, reap havoc upon schooling grounds across the city, as well as general havoc all around.
This is an act of defiance, and to show hate for their schools, and because its the social custom and when it gets really rowdy, it gets really fun. But rowdy means stupid.
Although, if one was to like their schools, their muck-up day wouldn't be centered around creating havoc for their schools, such as my school.
The counter? Harmless muck-up. Where there is no harm, no targetting (or at least limited) and the schooling grounds, and teachers are left completely unharmed.

Now what could go on during a muck-up day.

Kids these days are getting more and more creative as the years go by. The general idea for everything, is to piss off the schools, to get back at them for 13 years of forced education.
Things like vandalism (which is really, really, really stupid), intricate traps, terrorizing the younger students, and schooling grounds are all part of a muck-up day. Some people enjoy the use of sauces, and oil on benches, some enjoy banners, and some enjoy just running around their former schools screaming obsceneties.

What would be too far?
Injuries, damage to cars, getting other grades and teachers involved. Injuries, unless they are really funny ones, should be avoided. Damage to cars, that's just not cool, unless the person is super annoying. Getting other grades involved is the worst thing to do. It makes them feel cool. Please don't do this, because I had year 8's running around screaming their heads off, trying to start on me last year when muck-up day commenced, while the 9th graders stood their trying to look cool, and my grade 10'ers were generally dicks. I don't know about the year 11's, but I can't imagine they didn't do anything. Advice: DO NOT GET OTHER GRADES INVOLVED. We get cocky. This being said, do not get too many schools involved in one prank. Fights would be too far.

What would be too little?
Nothing. Or simple things like graffiti. If you do nothing, then how are you supposed to remember your last day?
Graffiti, should only be used if coupled with something else, and really, you don't need it on the school property, if at all. There really is no reason why one should graffiti, unless they are writing 'Pokemon is awesome' or 'Where are my pants?'


Harmless Muck-up Day?
A grade dress-up would be a smart idea. Remember, do not allow any lower grades to join in, or they are open to the egging option. But one must remember, a costume does not include 'Birthday Suit'.
A watergun fight, again leaving grade only.
The general consensus would to not do any damage, yet gain a memorable experience from the event.
Banners for other schools ? Could be a good idea.

Now, as stated before, things like graffiti, egging of properties, and causing of injuries would be stupid.
Sissy options: Doing nothing

Basically, muck-up day requires a large amount of planning, and instead of stupid choices, one should think of intricate traps and banners, as well as the idea of harmlessness, and not involving other grades, for everyone's benefit, to muck-up day. Now obviously, the idea of targetting certain individuals is never lost, this should be only allocated to students, possibly other grades, and never property.
Also, those grades apart from the leaving grade should note, you are just a tool if you try to join in. Certain acceptions include, if you were ambushed first by a non-leaving grade member. Yeah that's about all.
