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.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
