They didn't allow us to put our names on ours either so honestly embroidering it is the next best option
Not a bad idea if you can actually do it (i cant lmao)
But like if you're not allowed to I was talking to my friend about this you can probs leave it until the last few weeks of year 12 (cause like they usually don't give a shit with like signing shirts and stuff) and embroider it then cause that way it is personalised for the rest of your life and you won't get in trouble.
Or if ur not allowed to do that embroider it on the inside as rebellion (like on the sleeve cuff) or just wait till you graduate so you can enjoy it when you leave but thats the boring option : )

these are good ideas! i’ll consider them, thank you
I original plan was to just write in a white posca marker but i see it is time to put my sister to good use… (this is a JOKE she VOLUNTARILY will embroider for me haha)

especially last names at the back is so tuff

we had people stalking other people and finding out where they lived because their full names were leaked. That's why we can't have em </3 and we're a very formal school so apparently no nicknames either.

I think I would crumble if I had the added stress of piano exams. So glad I quit

U quit?! Do u regret it?

U quit?! Do u regret it?

well not really cause it was quite taxing on my mental health but sometimes I kinda wish I did get up to diploma levels and stuff to flex to people but not because Ia actually want to. But I still play for fun cause I do enjoy piano

 

[Sam Rowan]
