These are things that anyone who has gone to catholic school will find relatable.

1. There is always your school's saint statue in front of the building along with many more inside the building.

2. Having to wear a uniform for 14 years of your life!

3. On the rare occasion when you got to dress down, deciding on what to wear takes forever!

4. Girls having to abide by the "no makeup, no nail polish" rule.

5. ...and the "no colorful hair" rule.

6. Don't forget the jumpers and blouses the girls would have to wear! Guys were so lucky they could wear pants!

7. The girls automatically knowing who amongst them was a "skirt roller."

8. Going to school with the same 25 kids for 11 years of your life!

9. Starting off your day with the daily prayer and the pledge of allegiance.

10. Having to learn cursive in third grade, and teachers telling you how important it is. Which of course you never used again...

11. Going to Mass at least twice a week like it was your job.


12. Everyone either became an altar server or lector, usually not voluntarily.

13. When there were too many of you to fit in a Church, the auditorium became your place of worship for the time being.

14. At some point in your Catholic school life, you were given a cross to wear, usually in honor of your senior year.

15. Catholic school usually ended in you going on at least one Religious Retreat, and you always enjoyed it!

16. Having a Walk-A-Thon every year to raise funds for the school's latest project.

17. Signing each others shirts on the last day of wearing a uniform to class. And sadly knowing that it would be the last time ever wearing a uniform again!

18. Having everyone sign your yearbook from the teachers to best friends.

19. Realizing that your catholic school days are coming to an end. Luckily your memories last forever.

20. Finally graduating with your best friend after being together in catholic elementary school and high school for the last 15 years. Also realizing that you would have never met if you didn't go to catholic school.

I am so grateful to have gone to catholic school for my entire life, it was a wonderful experience filled with incredible people that I'll never forget!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
