10 Memories From Middle School

A hard time for all of us, but fun to look back on.

Middle school was rough for just about everyone. Braces, horrible eyeshadow choices, outfits that consisted of graphic tees and skinny jeans, and so many more cringe-worthy things made middle school just that; cringe-worthy. In a way, though, I am sometimes nostalgic for the care-free happy days of being a tween. Here are 10 things that just scream "middle school."

1. Aeropostale graphic tees

The too-tight tees that could be mixed and matched to match just about any outfit!

2. Silly Bandz

Trading them at the lunch table, wearing them up to your elbows, and begging your mom to buy you "just one more pack." I had dozens of these and, honestly, I miss the simple times.

3. Braces

These were awkward days for all of us. Food would get all up in there, you'd have to change your rubber bands before you ate, and it just made life all the harder. Remember when you'd get your school colors before basketball games so you could, you know, really show your school spirit.

4. Recording songs from the radio to set as your ringtone

"Guys, quiet! I'm trying to record Cooler Than Me by Mike Posner as my ringtone!"

5. Picnik editing your photos

Need I say more?

6. 2-day relationships

"Hey. Wanna date?" "Yes." "I love u." "I love u 2." Or something along those lines. And then you'd break up a week later. Crushed.

7. Playing Farmville

Farmville was the move back in those days. That is, if you were ever allowed to even have a Facebook.

8. These shoes

I'm not sure if these shoes were a trend for everyone or if it was just my town, but yeah. I had pair in several different colors. I don't need to explain much else here.

9. Flat-ironing the life out of your hair

My poor, poor hair. I treated you so badly in middle school and I sincerely apologize for that. I hope u still luv me. :(

10. Waiting for high school

Why was I so excited for that again? They seemed so big, mature, old, and so cool. Did I maybe overestimate high school? Yes, a little. I should have cherished my days as a child while I had the chance.

Middle school...I kind of miss you. In a totally nostalgic and weird sort of way. You were not good to me in many ways, but glad I had you. I could go on for a while about how embarrassing middle school was, but I'll just leave you with a few memories.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
