Cheer. Cheer, dance, laugh, have fun, repeat. I didn't realize how spirited I actually can be until I was sitting in the stands alone at MSC (don't worry, it wasn't long before I was kidnapped by a few former mentors), where I couldn't really cheer and root for the teams that I support. A great example of "you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone," really. Cheer as a team, it's a lot more fun! Cheering BETWEEN teams is also a GREAT way to show spirit, and to infect others with the spirit flu as well. Dancing is great for getting yourself excited, and it's also a really good way to burn off all of the energy from the 32oz of Mountain Dew you had at lunch. As long as you're having fun, you're being spirited.

But as it has been said: please remember to be respectful of others!
