20 Signs You Went To Catholic High School

If you survived Catholic high school, I first like to congratulate you.  From personal experience, Catholic school was definitely different than for those who attended a public or private school. Walking through the small halls knowing practically everyone to attending mass with your peers, Catholic school was something you won’t forget!  Read on to find out if any of these 20 things happened to you when you attended a Catholic high school.

1. Whenever you were in mass and stood next to your crush, your hands would get sweaty during the ‘Our Father.’

2. There was no such thing as a “Sex Talk” but rather a “Chastity Talk.”

3. When you didn’t know the answer in religion class, or any class for that matter, you always used Jesus as the answer.

4. Waking up in the morning was stress-free because you had to wear a uniform everyday.

5. The worst insult was being told, “you’re going to hell,” especially of it is from your teacher.

6. You would get super stressed going to confession because you thought of how you’re a terrible person.

Emphasis on the line, “one nation under God,” in the pledge.

15. You always tried to cheat the dress code.
