As a Catholic High School Survivor, I’m never going to think nuns are cool. They will forever be mostly mean and kind of scary. Clowns ain’t got nuthin’ on the sisters.

Initially, I could not understand anything about this story in Vice about Gen Z women choosing to cloister themselves over the holidays instead of going on proper vacations that involve bathing suits and parties.

The “vow of silence summer” has women giving up speaking for days at a time while living with nuns in Catholic convents and monasteries. According to one TikToker cited in the article, the trend is going so fast, she wasn’t even able to make a booking in the upstate New York monastery she’s been to previously.
