23 Things Anyone Who Went To All Girls Catholic High School Can Relate To

Because we're all girls and public display of tampons wasn't weird

23 Things Anyone Who Went To All Girls Catholic High School Can Relate To
Emily Hattier

High School is nothing like the stereotypes make it out to be. For some, its's better, others worse. Regardless of your experience, if you went to all-girls Catholic high school, this list is definitely something we can all relate to:

1. Your morning routine went something like this: roll out of bed, brush teeth, put on uniform, leave

Because you're a natural beauty

2. No shave November (or no shave school year)

“Feel my leg hair!”

3. Going days without brushing your hair

And accidentally forming a dreadlock…or two

4. Never having to choose an outfit because you had a uniform

A luxury you probably took for granted

5. Doc Martens <3

Or Eastlands, Saddle Oxfords, Loafers, etc.

6. Ugly sock tans

Don't forget kankles!

7. Seeing someone with a tampon in her pocket and not thinking twice about it

Because realistically, there is nothing weird about a girl on her period

8. Being asked, "So, how do you meet guys?"

Then replying with a sarcastic response because it was school, not a remote island

9. If a boy did happen to make an on-campus appearance it became a small ordeal

For about five minutes because no one actually cared

10. Trying to text in class as discretely as possible, failing, and ending up in detention

"I was just checking the time!"

11. Same with chewing gum

"I was chewing on my cheek!"... which was probably the worst lie ever

12. Baking your friends food for their birthdays

And then attracting a large crowd

13. Perfecting the messy bun because you had no one to impress

Wouldn't be necessary regardless (see #1)

14. Spending hours upon hours searching for a dress that met dance dress codes, but also did not resemble a pillow case

Remember your first tea-length dress? Gross.

15. Prayers before every class

I still say some of them tbh

16. In-class parties (...more baked goods)

Because carbs don't count while you're in class

17. Wondering who was going to pass out during liturgy

You'd think the AC would have been turned down considering the whole school was in one room

18. Avoiding the lunch time stampede

Taco Tuesday was usually the worst...

19. Feeling bad for the male teachers since most girls were PMS-ing at the same time

#sorrynotsorry

20. Going out of town, telling someone you went to an all-girls Catholic high school, and being labeled a snob (LOL)

Again, LOL

21. Even if you graduated years ago, you still remember your Alma Mater

And it probably gets stuck in your head all the freaking time

22. Going to class in college in whatever you slept in, looking around, and laughing at the girls who actually tried that morning because the most important lesson you learned in high school was that you are a strong, independent woman who don’t need to impress anyone

Again, please refer to #1

23. Not willing to trade the experience for the world

But college is way better

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
