Actually, it's a perfect intro to the Real World that supposedly exists beyond high school. You're doing something that's not for you, in an exercise that benefits appearance over utility. And it's boring as all hell, and the teachers will take every single opportunity to exert control over you to the last, as witness the principal taking away the diploma from thirdbase's post.
How it's approached is up to you. Generally less paperwork and grief and OMFG drama if you just be a good little robot, grab the paper, and get out; however, there are few better times for guerilla self-expression, even if it does result in a backlash of imposed conformity by the tools of the Conspiracy to extend your term in hell. YMMV.
