10 Signs You Went To Catholic School
Meme Guy

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
