These are things that anyone who has gone to catholic school will find relatable.

1. There is always your school's saint statue in front of the building along with many more inside the building.

2. Having to wear a uniform for 14 years of your life!

3. On the rare occasion when you got to dress down, deciding on what to wear takes forever!

4. Girls having to abide by the "no makeup, no nail polish" rule.

5. ...and the "no colorful hair" rule.

6. Don't forget the jumpers and blouses the girls would have to wear! Guys were so lucky they could wear pants!

7. The girls automatically knowing who amongst them was a "skirt roller."

8. Going to school with the same 25 kids for 11 years of your life!

9. Starting off your day with the daily prayer and the pledge of allegiance.

10. Having to learn cursive in third grade, and teachers telling you how important it is. Which of course you never used again...

11. Going to Mass at least twice a week like it was your job.


12. Everyone either became an altar server or lector, usually not voluntarily.

13. When there were too many of you to fit in a Church, the auditorium became your place of worship for the time being.

14. At some point in your Catholic school life, you were given a cross to wear, usually in honor of your senior year.

15. Catholic school usually ended in you going on at least one Religious Retreat, and you always enjoyed it!

16. Having a Walk-A-Thon every year to raise funds for the school's latest project.

17. Signing each others shirts on the last day of wearing a uniform to class. And sadly knowing that it would be the last time ever wearing a uniform again!

18. Having everyone sign your yearbook from the teachers to best friends.

19. Realizing that your catholic school days are coming to an end. Luckily your memories last forever.

20. Finally graduating with your best friend after being together in catholic elementary school and high school for the last 15 years. Also realizing that you would have never met if you didn't go to catholic school.

I am so grateful to have gone to catholic school for my entire life, it was a wonderful experience filled with incredible people that I'll never forget!

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.

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.
