10 Signs You Went To Catholic School
Meme Guy

Hello, my name is Sandra Williams and I'm a Catholic School survivor. LOL! That was pretty dramatic but going to Catholic School your whole life kind of feels that way. I was in Catholic School from 1st grade all the way to 12th grade and honestly you can tell after a while who has grown up in the Catholic School system and who has not. You sort of have this sixth sense so here are a 10 signs you went to Catholic School. Let's get this party started... Yes, I'm corny for just saying such an old phrase. Let me live.

1. You Had Class With The Same 30 or 40 Kids For Almost A Decade.

There were rarely any new students in your classes. It was literally just the same kids for majority of your childhood.

2. You Wore The Same Outfit Every. Fu#king. Day.

Not gonna lie, I loved wearing uniform everyday but only because I never had to waist time figuring out what I wanted to wear for the day.

3. All Of Your Writing Is Mostly In Cursive.

Admit it. All of your work is in cursive. No one's judging you here.

4.You Feel Weird When Your Outfit Isn't Neat.

Every time you have a nice shirt on you feel the need to tuck it in. But you know what? You're not in Catholic School anymore. Pull your shirt out of your pants. Live a little!

5. You Are Always Cautious Around Nuns.


The nuns in my school were never allowed to actually hit us but they still installed a sense of fear into our brains. Ever get caught talking during class by a nun? It's the scariest thing you will ever experience growing up. Never do it... NEVER. But once you're all grown up, nothing seems to scare you anymore so that's a plus.

6. You Were Always Encouraged To Have An Open Mind.


I think this picture speaks for itself. Moving on.

7. You Were Never Taught About Sex.


In Catholic School it was just implied that if you had sex before you were married, you die. No if's and's or but's.

8. You Show Off Your "Survival" Anytime You Can.

You survived Catholic School. Why not tell the world?

9. You Understand What People Mean When They Call Their K-8 Catholic School A "Grammar School."

10. You Always Tried To Dance Around the Dress Code & Prayed There Wasn't A Uniform Check.

I always used to wear black sneakers that looked like shoes and prayed I wouldn't get caught. Turns out I only got caught twice. I'd say that's pretty good.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
