It's a modern Footloose.

12 Signs You Went To A Christian School
msecnd.net

I went to a private Christian high school for all four years and while there are small differences between schools, here are twelve problems most people can relate to if you got a Christian education.

1. There was no such thing as dressing nice for school.

2. You were constantly told to have good posture.

3. Weird rules were very common.

4. It was really annoying when your public school friends complained about how strict their school was.

5. Gym class really sucked.

6. "Modesty is the best policy" has been drilled into your head from the day you entered until the day you left.

7. Whenever there was a very intense speaker at chapel that sent people into a rage.

8. No unnatural hair color was allowed and teachers asked you about it a lot.

9. This was considered evil and one must never mention it.

10. You honestly feel like "Footloose" and your school are the same school for how much they were against dancing.

11. Health classes went something like this.

My Bible teachers even told the class that it is physically impossible for an unwed woman to get pregnant.

12. Whenever you had to go out in public wearing your uniform.

So even though I wasn't crazy about my school, it has helped me to deal with strange rules I do not agree with and it makes me laugh when people complain about how strict Eastern is.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
