22 signs you're an ex-convent school girl

Got this from Facebook. Who ever who posted this, I got to say that I am 100% agree with you. I went to an all girls school, spent 11 of my wonderful years learning and living my life surrounded by great and wonderful friends.

So, here you go:-

  1. You're cool with doing the heavy lifting - as long as it's manageable. What? Wait for the guys to come help out? Girl, we went through 11 years of school without a single guy in sight (unless you count that wimpy math teacher), and we did just fine.
  2. You have that one group of girlfriends that you know will be there for you. FOREVER.
  3. "Friendship problems' don't throw you anymore. We've been through 5 years in a school full of girls going through puberty all at the same time. It was hell. There would always be at least one person in any classroom PMSing at any one time - plus we pretty much hung out with the same group of girls so much that our cycles literally synched up. Yes, it's not a myth; it's true. Which basically means WAR every few weeks. I repeat. It was hell
  4. But then again, that's what make our friendship stronger than anything else in the world.
  5. You went through a lesbian phase - or there was at least one moment in your life where you actually looked at another girl and went.."hmmm..not bad"
  6. You recognition that lap lap dance scene - yes! it's from the L word.
  7. You remember the first time you wore a skirt without shorts underneath - your thighs had never felt cooler
  8. Lesbian tendencies aside, a lot of your conversations with friends had to do with Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Josh Hartnett, Jude Law...and well, every male celebrity that came to our attention
  9. For years after secondary school, you never wore a skirt that went below your knees, thanks to a ridiculously strict dress code that you had to follow for a full decade. 
  10. You look pretty presentable and kind of demure to strangers. But when you're with your friends, it's a whole different story
  11. But in spite of that, the morals you learnt at school have somehow stuck with you through all these years.
  12. An you still kind of remember the words to Our Father.
  13. And some hymns will never ever leave your mind for good. Like As The Deer, What was with that song?
  14. You went through a major vain phase.
  15. And have heard people bitch about the weight one too many times
  16. You understand that skirt rolling is an art
  17. And you hate it when young girls cross the line and go full slut.
  18. You're definitely not afraid to speak your mind
  19. Because somehow we've been trained to be strong, independent women.
  20. And even though we've been through a lot of shit as ex-convent girls
  21. And at times it sort of felt like this - "All I want to do is just finish high school in peace and go away to a state with lots of people who don't know who I am and just start over"
  22. The experience, memories and friendship were all kind of worth in the end
Kan?!
