When I first came to CTY in 17.1, I was already knew quite a few of the traditions and positions. My best friends had both gone to 16.2 the previous summer- I know, ew, second session, we don't associate with them (just kidding, Ceci I love you)- and they hadn't stopped talking about it for the entire school year. They told me about raving, canon, and so much else, and one day after wanting nothing more than to better understand this world they told me of, I went home and read pretty much the entirety of RealCTY. And I think that's where my obsession with this place began. | When I first came to CTY in 17.1, I was already knew quite a few of the traditions and positions.

Heyo, I'm Sophia, and I was your Holy Ghost and Shots at LAN 19.1. I hope in my time there I managed to make your session even a little brighter (even if I was only ever in the back at rave circles lmao). Notably enough, the Trinty grails became squirrels my nomore year, so I guess that's pretty cool ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
CTY has meant the world to me since before I even came my first year, and I think it's going to carry with me forever. Even though I don't have any time left to start again and live another year at CTY, to anyone reading this, enjoy it as much as you can while you can- make friends, make a family, make a home. I hope it means as much to you as it does to me :)
i like you, i love you, i cty you <3
