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

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
