Oh, middle school, as much as you don't want to admit it...you loved it! Whether it was the dreaded swim class you had to take or the modified sports team you were a part of, your middle school years were some of the most enjoyable ones! The best part of your middle school years? The awful clothing that we thought was acceptable to wear. Let's take a stroll down memory lane.

1. Boobie Bracelets

You either stole one from your friend or bought one from Journey's, but nothing was cooler than walking around with the word "Boobie" on your wrist! Plus the proceeds went to Breast Cancer Research.

2. Puffy Painted T-Shirts

You and your friend group were especially cool if your custom made the T-shirts broadcast all of your inside jokes that nobody else understood.

3. Sofee Shorts


They were probably rolled up to a ridiculously short length and the school nurse most likely sent you home at least once because of them!

4. Gaucho Pants

Before yoga pants, there were gauchos because looking like a Mexican cowboy was very stylish.

5. Butt-Branding

We all wanted pretty much any pants with any words across the butt! Especially if they were velour Juicy Couture track pants.

6. Juicy Couture Anything

Speaking of velour Juicy sweatpants, nothing said high fashion like a whole Juicy outfit!

7. Fake Chanel

Whether it was the huge "Chanel" tote or the classic double "c" studded earring.

8. Being "Goth Or Emo"

Yes, because pretending to be deep and have emotional problems was awesome! You probably loved Spencer's and Hot Topic, and Paramore was your go-to band!

9. Skateboarding Shoes

You didn't skate or have any interest in skateboarding, but you loved the over-sized chunky sneakers the skate shoes. DC's, Osiris and Etnies, all totally cool and well worth the money too.

10. Logo T-shirts From Hollister, Aero and Abercombie

Especially Abercrombie!

11. Surfer Chic Brands/Attire

You used to beg your parents to take you to PacSun just to buy your insanely over priced Roxy hoodies and you probably had no clue who Roxy was or what the brand stood for.

12. Tiny Shoulder Bags

You could probably fit your Motorola Razr and a pen in it, but it was cute!

13. Colorful Polos

For those that weren't too fond of the Goth look! A staple piece for a middle school prep. Don't forget the Puka shell necklace.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
