12 Things We Did On Facebook In Middle School

I think we can all remember those days in middle school when keeping up with our Facebook profiles was the cool thing to do. As I look back, I can't help but laugh, and feel ashamed at a majority of the things I did on Facebook. I'm writing this to remind all of you of eleven of the major embarrassments of our middle school days and they all start with Facebook.

1. No matter what you did or what happened you had to post a Facebook status about it.

I didn't even get likes, but hey at least everyone knew my every move.

2. You had a poke war with everyone including your grandma.

And there was nothing more embarrassing than losing a poke war.

3. You added one of those weird photos with descriptions of something and tagged your friends in which ever one you thought described them best.

This was the core of middle school drama because if someone didn't get tagged in the one they wanted, it was the end of the world.

4. Farmville.

If your farm wasn't huge, you weren't cool.

5. Listing your friends as your sister, mom, grandpa, etc...

My best friend was listed as my grandpa, my other best friend as my mom, and my other best friend as my uncle.

6. Adding a selfie and thinking it looked good.

And then looking back and realizing it wasn't cute at all.

7. Capitalizing random letters in each word.

Because we had to find a way to spice up our wall posts.

8. Picnik.

There was no greater satisfaction than creating a masterpiece with your favorite quote on Picnik.

9. Spending hours 'Becoming a Fan' of everything.

I don't know why it was such a big deal to become a fan of literally everything, but I know we all regret it now because they all pop up on our Facebook page today with stupid posts.

10. Like for a truth is or TBH.

Posting a truth is status after school and then posting a bunch of nonsense like, "You're so nice!! I wish we talked more!!"

11. Facebook Flair Board.

I had to make sure my Facebook Flair Board was completely filled at all times.

12. Being a part of a bunch of random groups with your friends that are all titled weird.

Being a part of these with my fellow classmates for absolutely no reason at all.

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.
