10 Signs You Went To Catholic School

Hello, my name is Sandra Williams and I'm a Catholic School survivor. LOL! That was pretty dramatic but going to Catholic School your whole life kind of feels that way. I was in Catholic School from 1st grade all the way to 12th grade and honestly you can tell after a while who has grown up in the Catholic School system and who has not. You sort of have this sixth sense so here are a 10 signs you went to Catholic School. Let's get this party started... Yes, I'm corny for just saying such an old phrase. Let me live.

1. You Had Class With The Same 30 or 40 Kids For Almost A Decade.

There were rarely any new students in your classes. It was literally just the same kids for majority of your childhood.

2. You Wore The Same Outfit Every. Fu#king. Day.

Not gonna lie, I loved wearing uniform everyday but only because I never had to waist time figuring out what I wanted to wear for the day.

3. All Of Your Writing Is Mostly In Cursive.

Admit it. All of your work is in cursive. No one's judging you here.

4.You Feel Weird When Your Outfit Isn't Neat.

Every time you have a nice shirt on you feel the need to tuck it in. But you know what? You're not in Catholic School anymore. Pull your shirt out of your pants. Live a little!

5. You Are Always Cautious Around Nuns.


The nuns in my school were never allowed to actually hit us but they still installed a sense of fear into our brains. Ever get caught talking during class by a nun? It's the scariest thing you will ever experience growing up. Never do it... NEVER. But once you're all grown up, nothing seems to scare you anymore so that's a plus.

6. You Were Always Encouraged To Have An Open Mind.


I think this picture speaks for itself. Moving on.

7. You Were Never Taught About Sex.


In Catholic School it was just implied that if you had sex before you were married, you die. No if's and's or but's.

8. You Show Off Your "Survival" Anytime You Can.

You survived Catholic School. Why not tell the world?

9. You Understand What People Mean When They Call Their K-8 Catholic School A "Grammar School."

10. You Always Tried To Dance Around the Dress Code & Prayed There Wasn't A Uniform Check.

I always used to wear black sneakers that looked like shoes and prayed I wouldn't get caught. Turns out I only got caught twice. I'd say that's pretty good.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
