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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
