10 Signs You Go to a Catholic University

You go to a Catholic school, and yes, the rules are a bit more rigid. But that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun!

1. There are nuns around campus.

Act carefully; they might see you.

2. The sports fans are unique.

For instance, they love religious chants.

3. You’re required to take theology classes

…and you fall asleep every time.

4. Mass gets really crowded on certain holidays.

Easter is craaaaazy.

5. There are intervisitation hours.

Which means no boys in your room past the school’s decided upon time. But the hours go later on the weekends!

6. October break is a thing.

You get a week off in October for really no reason.

7. Priests are also around.

But there are some really cool ones.

8.  Sometimes you have to cancel plans

…to make 10:00 a.m. mass.

9. People get affectionate during church.

Instead of shaking hands, they like to hug.

10.  But at the end of the day, you love going to a Catholic school

…and Jesus.
