How You Know You Went To A Private Christian School

It's just like every other school, only stranger

Every single school is unique in its own way. There are some things that you can old understand if you went to school in the south, other things in the county schools. There are some things that define your experience in high school if you went to a private Christian school.

1. Every First Day of School Started with a Lesson from Luke 2:52

And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man

2. There was no such thing as practice or meetings on Sundays or Wednesdays around church time.

3. You know where all your teachers went to church, where most of them lived, and you probably had most of their cell phone numbers.

"I don't understand why students always want to roll my house; I only have two small trees. It's just sad."

4. Forget seeing shoulders. Dress code barely allows for kneecaps.

5. It wasn’t unusual to hear deep religious discussions walking through the halls.

6. Students try and get teachers to go on biblical rants as a way of getting them off subject.

7. Class retreats were a very common thing.

8. If you do show choir, it is not dancing. It is appropriate choreography.

You are a choreographing queen, young and sweet, only 17

9. It wasn’t unusual to hear a group break out in religious songs at the end of class.

I owe my high school years to Brandon, Logan, Jeremy, George, and whoever else brightened my day every day in math class with their killer harmonies

10. Every event started out with a prayer

11. It wasn’t uncommon to have verses of the bible used as the class rules.

12. All school successes were attributed to “recruiting”.

Please don't get me started on this subject

13. If you go out with friends from another schools, they always act shocked that you know a certain song or movie.

So I live under a rock? Do I look like a starfish>

14. The weekend of a big area wide church retreat was like a school holiday.

Challenge Youth Conference? Winterfest? Don't expect anyone, including the teachers, to be there

15. “You go to a private school so you must be rich.”

Actually no, most of us aren't

16. You go to hell is a joked about reason for why not to cheat on a test

That's partially a joking comment

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
