If you weren't awkward in middle school, you're lying. Sadly, our middle school awkwardness has been captured and put online forever.

13 Pictures From Your Middle School Phone That Will Haunt Your 'Facebook Memories' Forever

Let's take a trip back to middle school. A much simpler time. You think you're all that. Life was easy and the only person you couldn't stand was the boy who broke up with you last week. In your free time, you took pictures.

So many pictures.

It is now the year 2018 and these pictures have come back to haunt you. Here are 13 pictures we are all most definitely doing our best to hide from the world.

1. A way-too-close webcam picture.

Usually featuring a strange pose, bad lighting, and way too much eyeliner.

2. A picture from when you bought yourself a crown.

This picture took many shots to get right. Now you wonder why you chose the one where you're not even looking and your black nail polish is chipping.

3. A picture from that app that used a collage of pictures to make shapes.

Look closely and you will pray that this was never posted anywhere.

4. A picture with duck lips AND a peace sign.

This is a lethal combination. It is to be avoided at all costs. If brought back to the surface years later, run. Oh goodness, run away. Hide!

5. An overedited picture with a rainbow filter.


This, once again, features way too much eyeliner, but includes barely being able to actually see your face.

6. A picture of just your eyes.

Super tumblr at the time, but now just embarrassing. There was most definitely an "inspiring quote" below this picture such as, "I keep my eyes wide open." It really wasn't inspiring, just lyrics to a song you liked.

7. A picture making fun of the "popular girls."

Which honestly just became you copying exactly what they do.

8. A picture of you being "flexible."

This picture almost always became your profile picture as a way to show people how athletic you were. It featured a messy background and probably an ugly face which you really hoped people would just ignore.

9. A picture that exemplified the feather trend.

A feather in your hair was all the rage back in the middle school days. As much as you said you wanted to stand out, you definitely followed this trend like a puppy.

10. Another over-edited picture but this one features an "important date."


That date was probably the day your best friend asked a boy to date you and he said yes. You posted this picture eight days later once you had decided this was true love. A month later you hated him.

11. Another super tumblr picture.

This was your profile picture for months even though it didn't even have your face in it.

12. The only surviving picture from your first musical.

You burned the rest, but this one made its way to Facebook. The face paint still haunts you to this day.

13. Finally, the one you know you should be embarrassed about, but you also still think is really cute.

Because c'mon, you were cringey but you still were kinda cute, right?


Obviously, trying to hide these pictures doesn't always help. They're incredibly embarrassing but hey, we all have them. Let's embrace our middle school awkwardness and all laugh about it together!

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.
