10 Things You Definitely Wore in Middle School.
Abbey Browning

If you are now an upperclassman or college aged girl, chances are you wore these in middle school. They'll probably cause you to have major flashbacks and go into denial that you ever let yourself leave the house in these... but you did and you thought you were the coolest.

1. Aeropostale T-Shirt

Finding a shirt that said "Aeropostale" in the biggest letters possible was a staple to be a cool kid. And you were probably extra fab if it was neon AND had glitter.

2. Silly Bandz

How many could we possibly fit on one wrist, that was the true test. Oh and did you have the scented ones? Because I did.

3. Side Ponytail

You probably knew how to do 0 things with your hair at this point in your life, so side ponytails were a great look.

4. Justice Shirt

If your shirt didn't have Justice written on it and peace signs all over, were you even in middle school?

5. Dangle Earrings

I remember thinking I was SO cool because my mom finally let me wear dangle earrings. Pretty sure I had over a hundred pairs of earrings from Claire's, but these star ones were my fav.

6. Crocs or Potato Shoes

If one of these wasn't your go-to shoe of choice then you were doing something wrong. How many of y'all stepped on the end of the potato and felt as though you had just cut your entire heel open?? Been there, done that. And Fuzzy crocs, was there ever a more perfect shoe that combined fashion and function?

7. Blue Eye Shadow

Chances are you had no idea how to do your makeup so you just slapped on some blue eye shadow, did some duck lips, threw up a peace sign and boom, perfect picture.

8. Gaucho Pants

Pretty sure I wore these to church like every Sunday. And surprisingly these are back in style now.

9. Webkinz

You probably spent your whole life saving on Webkinz. You would login and play with your friends for hours... sometimes you'd even log into webkinz during computer class at school #rebel. Although I didn't have as many as in this picture, I thought the peace sign made it even more appropriate.

10. Sequin Purse

I remember seeing Sharpay Evans carry one of these in HSM and of course I had to go out and buy the same exact one, duh. I think I carried the same pink sequin purse every day for all of middle school.


It seems as though nowadays middle schoolers don't have this awkward stage and I kinda wish they did. It's quite hilarious to look back on these years and all the pictures and just laugh at ourselves. But then again, I sure am glad these years are over.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
