22 Signs You Went To A Christian High School
Alec Bailey

If you went to a private, Christian high school, you understand it is an experience that is unforgettable and incredibly unique. There were definitely some fun highlights coming from a Christian high school, such as performing in drama club or supporting classmates in a game. However, there were some low points, such as not branching out or not experiencing a big school dance. Only people who have lived through it will truly understand the struggle and the humor that was attending a Christian school. No one will understand the deep friendships made, or how fast news spread, dress codes, the overload of homework and adjusting to the real world after graduating. Here are 22 signs that you, in fact, attended a Christian high school.

1. Everyone knows who you are

Even if you are new, you will be known by the 2nd period

2. Even the teachers know who you are

Including the ones that you have never had a class with.

3. The teachers care about who you are

They know when you mysteriously take too long of a bathroom break.

4. Your school was also a middle school

You tell children not to grow up.

5. And maybe even an elementary school

It can be shocking to think there is someone who went to school from 1st through12th.

6. You had strict dress code policies

You were slightly hesitant, but you came around to the idea of not planning what to wear.

7. You were dress coded several times a week

You had that one friend who got away with anything and everything and you still got dress coded on everything.

8. You had about five classrooms for all your subjects

You did not have to walk far to class, and now that you are in college you wish you did not have to walk a mile to class

9. Homework was actually expected of you

What even is homework? Oh, right the endless nights of essays and projects you were assigned daily.

10. If you did not complete your homework you teacher held an intervention

Again, they cared.

11. You attended a mandatory Bible class

You spent the entire class listening to a few people have biblical arguments with the teacher.

12. You became well versed in prayer talk

You truly have become a master at prayer, which means you and JC know what's up!

13. Your entire grade shared every single class together

The best part of a small school is that you can spend 9 hours a day, 5 days a week with people. Everyone loves one another, when has that ever caused problems?

14. Everyone knew the intimate details of your life

There was no hiding.

15. Except, perhaps, that one thing you managed to keep hidden

One thing about having everyone know your business, you learned how to hide the real truth.

16. Everyone was a strong Christian on chapel days

Chapel was where everyone let loose on their Jesus praises.

17. There was absolutely no PDA

Something you actually agreed on.

18. Dating was a more challenging concept with all eyes on you

Better just to say "I will pray about it" but you really mean no thank you.

19. You had horrendous banquets, which were supposed to be some sort of dance

Holy awkward.

20. Banquets, however, were the most awkward and yet fun nights

These were most definitely awkward and an unusual night of fun memories.

21. You can name everyone in your graduating class from memory

Spending so much time with a small number of people makes forgetting anyone very difficult.

22. The friends you make at a Christian school are often for life

Through all the good and the bad, I would not choose another place to go to high school. This is where we met life long friends, a safe place to be yourself and to grow in your faith...this is where we became who we are today.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
