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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.
