11 Middle School Jams You Forgot Existed

Middle school was the worst time of my life. Despite this, it was a time of really cringy and bubblegum pop music. School dances were always poppin', and "lit" as the kids say all because of the music. I remember my school used a DJ that would drive an ambulance car around and called himself "The Jambulance." If that doesn't scream "middle school," then I don't know what does. Here is a list of 11 middle school jams you probably forgot existed, but used to love.


Miss Independent by Ne-Yo

This song was one of my favorites. Ne-Yo used to get me right in the feels with his music. We were never sure if this was a slow song at school dances though.


Check yes, Juliet by We The Kings

My friends and I definitely had a dance choreographed to this song. I'm pretty sure We The Kings were a one-hit-wonder with this song. I still jam to it from time to time.


Just Dance by Lady Gaga

This was one of the first songs that usually played at our school dances because of the title. Lady Gaga was at her prime when I was in middle school. This song was and and still is iconic.


Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus

Party in the USA- a true classic. I remember 12 year old me watching Miley perform this song for the first time. I never watched Hannah Montana the same way ever again. Still, this song is one of my favorite Miley jams.


Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne

Whenever a boy in middle school that I had a crush on got a new "girlfriend" this was my anthem. To be honest, it probably still is in that situation.


So What by P!nk

I felt like a total badass when I sang this with my friends. School dances were nothing without P!nk, especially this song. Dancing to this song consisted of mostly jumping and playing the air guitar. But I feel like it was that way at most school dances with any song they played.


TiK Tok by Ke$ha

Ke$ha appeared from who knows where when I was in middle school. Tik Tok ws her first single, and everyone thought that they were so cool when they sang the lyric "Brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack," even though we had no idea what "Jack" even was. Still, Ke$ha was iconic then, and still is now.


Love Story by Taylor Swift

This was one of the most requested songs at our middle school dances. I remember my friends and I would always dance like princesses and they get proposed to when she says "he knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring" None of the boys ever liked this song, and usually stood to the side when any Taylor Swift song played.


Thriller by Michael Jackson

Okay, I know this song didn't come out during the time we were in middle school, but this song and dance was ICONIC at the school I went to. We would all be doing the dance together in the front of the room. Literally everyone, even some of the teachers, would join in on the dancing.


Baby by Justin Bieber

The Biebs had emerged and all the girls were crazy about his swoopy hair and pubescent voice. I remember learning to perfectly rap the "Ludacris" part and some of my teachers thinking I was super weird. This was one of my favorite songs as a middle schooler.


With You by Chris Brown

The ultimate slow song. This was one of my favorites. I danced with many awkward boys to this song that I wish I hadn't. However, this song did and continues to give me all of the feels.


Middle school dances and the music that played at them were all cringe worthy, but listening to these songs now makes me so nostalgic and brings back some good and some awkward memories.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
