20 Signs You Survived Catholic School
  1. You may or may not have joined the church choir when you were younger to get out of kneeling in Mass.
  2. Speaking of kneeling, you know the nuns' favorite workout, The Stations of the Cross.
  3. Your favorite holidays are the Holy Days of No School Obligation.
  4. You have played a sheep, angel, or shepherd at least once for a Christmas pageant.
  5. And you were jealous of whoever was chosen to be Mary or Joseph.
  6. You have seen almost every single Veggie Tales video, and you still remember the theme song. (Which is probably now stuck in your head. I apologize.)
  7. You still haven't figured out how to dress yourself thanks to years of wearing a uniform.
  8. But, you refuse to ever wear plaid again.
  9. You have enough pairs of tights, or knee socks that rivals a small Payless.
  10. Your school shoes were Frankenstein chic.
  11. If you are unlucky enough to be left-handed, someone has tried to make you switch to a righty.
  12. Your cursive is amazing thanks to these little books:
  13. You know everyone in your grade, and their siblings, parents, and basically whole life story. If you want to get in touch with them, you can usually just ask their mom.
  14. Picking out your first holy communion dress was as important as picking out a wedding dress.
  15. Your popularity was determined by whether or not you walked in the May Crowning.
  16. And who cared about Prom Queen, you wanted to be May Queen.
  17. You know the meaning of “leave room for the Holy Spirit.”
  18. Christian rock used to be played at your dances, and you had a synchronized liturgical dance for some.
  19. You went over the list of sins you were going to say for confession so you wouldn’t forget.
  20. Your classmates are some of your closest friends because you have been together forever!

    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.

    The Importance Of Being A Good Person

    An open letter to the good-hearted people.

    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.
