14 Signs that You Attended an All-Girls Catholic High School in the DMV in the 1980s and 1990s

Recently, there's been a hilarious post making the rounds on social media that addresses all of the funny/curious/weird things that bond us products of a Catholic school education, but there is a specific demographic with a lot more to say about the subject - those of us who attended all-girls Catholic high schools in the Washington, DC area back in the 1980s and the 1900s. So here we go:

14 Signs that you attended an all-girls Catholic high school in the DMV in the 1980s and 1990s:

• Nearly everyone had a curling (or crimping) iron in their locker
• The uniform school shoe policy of black or navy blue loafers was stretched to include Etienne Aigner short boots and Timberland lace-ups
• The school dances you attended had a go-go band
• When the last bell of the day sounded, it was a matter of minutes before your shirts were untucked, your skirts rolled up to a point well above the knee, and your uniform shoes were ditched for pristine white sneakers or Timberland boots
• If your after-school plans included a fight at the Metro station, you wore shorts underneath your uniform skirt in order to do a quick-change and avoid being identified as a student at a specific school
• The hot ticket in town was the trip to hear the annual Christmas concert at Archbishop Carroll
• Instead of Jansport backpacks, your classmates had Louis Vuitton, Coach, or Gucci backpacks
• You piled 6 people deep into a classmate's late-model Toyota for lunch at the off-campus Popeye's 
• You borrowed $1-2 dollars from one of those classmates for that lunch at the off-campus Popeye's 
• You knew someone with a nickname that began with "Li'l"
• Gym class didn't automatically equal physical exertion
• Gold hoop earrings were part of the uniform
• Without a football team, you really didn't have anything resembling homecoming like your public school or co-ed high school friends
• You went to school in full make-up even though there weren't any boys around
