13 Horrible Fashion Trends We Were All Guilty Of In Middle School

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.

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
