19 Times You Were Tina Belcher Growing Up

So relatable you'll cringe

19 Times You Were Tina Belcher Growing Up
Gabrielle Moss

For those of you who haven't discovered the greatest cartoon of all time, stop what ever you are doing and go binge watch "Bob's Burgers" on Netflix. I have fallen in love with the Belcher family, as each character reminds me of someone I know. Recently I realized that the ever charming teenage daughter, Tina, is undoubtedly my high school self. Take a look at just how similar you were to the awkward and lovable Tina Belcher during your high school years. Try not to cringe -- or laugh.

1. When your ninth grade boyfriend broke your heart and the whole family had to suffer.

Remember how dramatic your first breakup was? It's funny now, right? Yeah -- your family still hates you for crying to Adele for three months straight.

2. Whenever you didn't get your way.

As your mom would say, "use your words!"

3. When you were learning how to drive.

My poor father didn't have the patience. Next time you see your driver's ed teacher, give them a hug. They risked their life for you.

4. When you saw your crush in the hallway.

That pep talk you gave yourself after fifth period -- absolutely cringe-worthy.

5. When you got into your first girl fight.

Back when words like "fr*ggin'" and "hell" were unspeakable. Now, words like "see you next Tuesday" just roll off the tongue.

6. Day dreaming in Study Hall.

Girl, it was your world and all of those boys were just living in it.

7. Whenever you got a 100 percent on a test.

All those gold stars from elementary school? After you aced that "Lord of the Flies" test you became a gold star.

8. When you tried to give your friends advice.

The best cure for sadness is laughter. The only way to cure your BFF's broken heart was through pizza and a good laugh.

9. When you first discovered your sexuality.

Remember the first time you realized there was more to a person than just their face? And nothing was the same.

10. Flirting at your first job and trying to look busy when your boss walked in.

Excuse me while I brew some ketchup in the corner here.

11. At school dances when your jam came on.

"Shawty got them Applebottom jeans... boots with the fur..."

12. When all your friends were getting boyfriends and you were just like...

Let's pretend that you don't currently have the highest body count out of all of your friends. Kidding -- not really.

13. The first time you went to a concert without your parents.

There was no one there to stop you from doing your thang.

14. The first time you tried coffee.

Your parents were worried about drug addiction while you were slowly falling into the Starbucks trap. Sure, it tasted like regret. But you finished that dreaded four-page paper in an hour. Four pages? I'd kill for that now.

15. When you tried makeup for the first time.

Before we knew about those makeup tutorials on YouTube, we just had to wing it.

16. When you thought it was time for a change and immediately regretted it.

Your mom probably hung up the school pictures as a lifetime reminder.

17. During Obama's election when you tried to get involved in politics.

Why are there two meanings for every word?!

18. That time you auditioned for the lead in the school play -- and were cast in the chorus.

I will never forgive those directors for sticking me in the back. I was born to shine.

19. And finally, during senior speeches when you just couldn't wait to GTFO.

Who even remembers what was said? You were too busy thinking about all the college boys you were going to charm to care.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!
