If you were in middle school around 2010, some of these will definitely apply to you. Forewarning, they may also bring back some cringe-worthy memories.

1. AIM and Away Messages

For me, AIM was a significant part of my 7th and 8th grade years. Away messages seemed like a great idea at the time, yet here we are.

2. Bottom Eyeliner

So. Much. Bottom. Eyeliner. Never mind the uneven orange foundation, glittery lipgloss, and old mascara.

3. Wore an obscene amount of the oh so cool, Silly Bandz.

We don't know why these were so cool and trendy but there is no denying that they absolutely were. The more you had the cooler you were. As for me, my mom would not buy me any so i got all the reject Silly Bandz that my friends didn't want.

4. DC Sneakers and Heely's

Heely's were the absolute shit. I rode them everywhere i could without getting yelled at by some angry adult. Once those faded out though, DC's were the coolest shoes I owned by far. You already know I felt like a boss wearing them too.

5. +yp3d !ik3 d!$!!!!


Face it, well all did it in one form or another. Whether it be adding way too many vowels in a word or using symbols, we all did not want to be grammatically correct...ever.

6. Aeropostale

So much neon. So much cringe. So much regret.

7. Friday Night Mall Adventures

Face it, you did it at least once.

8. Webcam Selfies

I have nothing to say about this one. Cringe.

9. Sidebangs

Such a terrible hair trend... and so incredibly inconvenient.

10. Emoticons

Yes, children, there was a time before emojis; And a dark, awkward time it was.

11. Duck faces

We are all guilty.

12. Religiously watching "The Jersey Shore".

Of course, i had to be in bed by like 10 and I had to hide from my mom that i was watching but, I did.

13. Overly Plucked Eyebrows

Just keep plucking, plucking, plucking.

14. Shutter Shading Glasses

Was this just me..?

15. Saw the Justin Bieber Movie...In 3D.

I don't know... I really don't know.

Share, like, and comment if you have done any of these super cringe-worthy things while in middle school. I know I did, unfortunately.

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.
