15 Things That Will Take You Back To Middle School In The Late 2000s
Marion Reeves

Sixth grade through eighth grade. The crazy, beautiful, fun, awkward, years of a person's life known as middle school. For some, hearing those two words makes you cringe. And for others, you would give anything to return to your middle school glory days. No matter which side of the fence you are on with those two scenarios, these things will remind you of all the good times you had as an awkward middle schooler.

1. Uggs.

The shoe of choice of every middle school girl, the second it got cold enough to wear them. Or maybe you even wore them when it wasn't cold enough.

2. Prank Calling.

Because what else would you do at a sleepover?

3. Picnik.

Before Instagram, VSCO, all of the editing apps today...we had Picnik. Edit your picture to your heart's desire...complete with the quotes of your choosing. My personal favorite from this one..."Finding a friendship like ours is like nailing jello to a tree...IMPOSSIBLE."

4. Graphic Tees.

It had to be from Aeropostale, Abercrombie, or Hollister.


5. Being upset if you weren't in someone's top friends on MySpace.

And that's how the drama started...

6. The Clique Books.

Every middle school girl had a little Massie Block in her.

7. Intramural Sports.

Intramural sports got intense. You didn't care if the game was before school. You were going to win, even at the expense of getting sweaty. *Note: my Clique reading experience and intramural sports combined, resulting in my intramural soccer team being called "The Pretty Committee." Oh boy.


8. You loved going to the movies or the mall with your friends.

Even if you went to see Twilight 6 times in theaters.

9. If you didn't forward the text to 12 people...

Good old chain texts. Gotta love em.

10. Text Message Signatures.

We all did it...I know a few of mine were along the lines of "LiVe~LaUgH~lOvE!", "RAWR! It means I love you in dinosaur (:" or something about me and whoever I was best friends with at the time.

11. You used Webcams way too much.

Gotta get the perfect profile picture!

12. These texting conversations...

Person 1: Hey

Person 2: Heyyyy

Person 1: Wats up?

Person 2: Nm u?

Person 1: Nm just chillin

13. ...which were most likely sent on this phone.

14. This iPod.

Filled with songs including: "Love Story" by Taylor Swift, "Whatcha Say" by Jason Derulo, "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie, "Tik Tok" by Kesha, "One Time" by Justin Bieber, "Low" by Flo Rida, pretty much everything by Colbie Caillat, "Boom Boom Pow" by the Black Eyed Peas, the Hoedown Throwdown from Hannah Montana, and a whole plethora of other gems.

15. You had some great friends.

Some of these friends might still be your friends today, others you may not have talked to in years. But regardless, you'll never forget the fun times that were had.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
