Plaid skirts and tucked in shirts. Scary nuns and morning prayers. Squeezing the life out of the hands of the person next to you in church during the Our Father. School mass on half days. 15 years later and nothing has ever come close in comparison to the eternity of the Stations of the Cross.

Whether you go to church or survived all those years at a Catholic school, these memes will make sense, make you laugh, and then make you pray for forgiveness.

1. When you compare your ashes after Mass

2. "Peace be with you/May the force be with you"

3. AKA, getting baptized



4.


5. Yay?


6.

7. You know you went to a Catholic school if this seems like a perfectly acceptable place to send your child

8. Which Catholic are you?


9. A(H)-MEN!


10. If you went to a Catholic school, this was the same class picture every year, just with everyone a year older (even the kid in the top right corner)

11.


12. If there was ever a Sunday to show up to church, you better make sure it's the one when Jesus has been resurrected


13.


14.


If you laughed at any of these, your penance is to thank God for having a sense of humor.

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.
