A lot has changed since the days of middle school. Some of these changes were welcomed with open arms, and some... Well, we'll just take back what we used to have.
1. We traded carefree doodles.
For stressed out, color-coordinated class schedules.
2. The graphic tee-clad fashionistas that we used to be are long gone.
And in their place are college girls clothed in oversized T-shirts and sandals.
3. We moved on from our childhood true love.
To a more mature version (we can't give up on Troy Bolton).
4. Our afternoon routine that used to include a few hours of quality TV.
Now it has turned into binge-watching for hours on end.
5. We forgot about our limited computer access and long-thought-out top friends list.
While we discovered the crazy new world of the internet at our fingertips.
6. Our early onset shopping addiction was fueled by our favorite stores.
And has since progressed into a more adult version of a shopping addiction.
7. Picking a locker partner was a big deal.
But it pales in comparison to picking a roommate.
8. Relationships that could've only been destiny.
They were replaced by another type of "destiny."
9. We grew out of our over-edited Picnik photos.
And moved on to "more grown-up" pictures.
10. Mac & Cheese and juice pouches were only for elementary school "babies."
They are now staples in a college kid's diet.
11. Leaving the house without doing your makeup (heavy eyeliner and blue eyeshadow)/hair was unheard of.
Now it's a miracle if you make it to class on time, aren't wearing wrinkled clothes, and your hair isn't in a messy bun.
12. We used to think that our parents were ridiculous and uncool.
Now we call them three times a day asking how to bake a potato or do laundry, telling them what we ate for breakfast, or just to let them know that we miss them.
