Cp what

Nothing better then a blast from the past. Found my Cawthra park sweater in my drawer today and just had to put it on, which naturally, led to past blasting. 

There's a lot I can say about this sweater. Probably too much for a sweater. 

If you were a rap student at cp, these sweaters didn't seem like much of an option. Maybe not week one because everyone was wearing there new back to school outfits (miss those), but the shocking amount of people in these awkwardly large navy blue hoodies with " CAWTHRA" on the front and the persons major on the back. I'm pretty sure the most popular topic of conversation in gr 9 was when can we order a sweater, until the order forms for the sweaters came out. 

So we order the sweaters, wear them religiously till the novelty and navy blue fades enough for our topic of conversation switch over to the caf cookies and the struggle of waiting till Friday to have poutine. Winners. That's what we were. 

But in all seriousness, it wasn't bout the sweaters. It was about your major. I remember going out of my way to see someone's back which led to judgement and assumptions almost always before I met them. 

Now that high school literally means nothing in my current life and I'm having so much fun reminiscing, let's address stereotypes. Oh lord okokok 

We had our crazy ass drama majors who usually only associated with each other or the occasional music major. I personally thought they were the best department in the school simply because they were so passionate about the school. They had great personalities and confidence which at the end of the day is more important then how high you can kick your leg, belt or what ever is considered impressive for visual artists. Speaking of art majors.. Where were they and where are they now. Maybe they were hiding from all of us performing artists. I don't blame them. Maybe they were just bitter because "visual arts" was too long for the back of the sweater and "art" kinda looked stupid. Without those sweaters or a obnoxious personality you didn't really get noticed in cp. real talks, I didn't have any VA friends. But I did have music major friends. They were probably to most... Normal. But not really because no one was normal at Cawthra. Hahahahahahahahahaha normal in Cawthra. NOPE. Our music dept was so talented. Get it y'all. And then there were the dance majors. The girls. We ran the world. We definitely got the most attention. Makes sense though, the artistic director of our entire rap program was a dance teacher. And we were hot so

This has been fun. Being on a ship can really mess with you.. Sometimes it's good to drop the ego and remind yourself of how pathetic you used to be, laugh, then go about being your true self. The self you established when you made most of your first mistakes, high school. Loved Cawthra. 

Cp out
