The 10 Things Only Catholic School Kids Understand

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Oneonta chapter.
  1. You didn’t realize how clothing deprived you were until you saw your public school friends.

  2. You always went to school with anxiety on dress-down days due to fear of not following the dress code.

  3. The senior retreat was the highlight of the entire senior year.

  4. High-school graduation only took 40 minutes because the graduating class was so small. While your public school friend’s graduation took 3 hours.

  5. You can’t relate to the term “middle school” because you went to the same school from kindergarten to 8th grade.

  6. You rolled up your skirt the second the dismissal bell rang.

  7. You knew every single kids entire life story because word gets around so quick.

  8. There were always three new drama stories everyday that everyone gossiped about.

  9. The day did not begin until the morning prayer and pledge was said.

  10. No matter how much you said you hated it, you’ll always be grateful you went to Catholic school.
