Answer for question 4533.
[Error: unknown template qotd]I... honestly don't remember. I think it pretty much just was. I remember it being a bigger deal in movies and on TV than it ever was in real life, honestly. You went in, maybe dressed up a bit more than usual if you were normally casual (which I was), and that was it.
Although now that I think about it, we MAY have had a picture day during spirit week, which was awkward because spirit week usually meant wearing costumes and stuff. But I don't remember there being any weird pictures or anything, so it may not have been spirit week, just a similarly bad time for pictures.
(My senior portrait was a whole other story. That was a big deal, I even got a haircut for it. I probably looked better in my senior picture than I ever did all four years of high school. Ha.)
So to ask a question within a question: Is there anything you felt (schoolwise) was made a bigger deal in movies and shows (etc.) than IRL? Culture/regional differences also count, of course.
