The Signs That You Went To A Catholic School

Anyone who went to a Catholic school, grade school or high school, can identify many things or still do a few things they learned or developed while being in a catholic school. If you attended a Catholic school, I promise you all of these will apply. Going to a Catholic school at times felt like prison... but in the end, you would much rather be a catholic school kid then a public school kid.

You can hide your phone like a pro while texting. You really don't even have to look anymore.

Wearing khakis' now is overrated, and if you have to wear them you actually hate it.

You still don't know how to dress yourself in normal clothes. So when you went off to college, it's actually a struggle to get ready.

You can still recognize people you went to grade school with because your class had about 20 people in it.

You know the meaning of "leave room for the Holy Spirit." It applied for all dances and it was really hard to explain that rule to people you brought to the dance.

You've attended mass in a gym multiple times, sitting uncomfortably in bleachers.

You know every church song like the back of your hand, you actually had fun singing them with your friends.

You've been in the choir at least once. You figured it was a way out of sitting in mass with your teacher.

Getting picked to read at mass was an honor. You were basically famous.

You can write in cursive like it's your job.

Figuring out your sins before confession was hard, and stressful.

You always tried finding ways around the school uniform.

You don't know what a "winter break" is because it was always considered "Christmas break."

Deciding on your first holy communion dress was just as hard as deciding a wedding dress.

Everybody knew your name, your parents, and your siblings. They may have even known your pets names... they basically knew your whole life story.

You knew every teacher in the school. They probably even taught you once or twice.

You wouldn't trade Catholic school for another school any time because you basically made a second family rather than friends.

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.
