Everything that we thought was "cute," but really plagued our late elementary to early teen years...

1. Gauchos

I'm not going to lie, they were pretty comfy.

2. Anything Disney Channel related, but more specifically ZAC EFRON

Don't kid yourself, you swooned over Troy and wish you were Gabriella in "High School Musical," he's still a babe anyways

3. Anything and everything from Justice or Limited Too

It's a girls world! Am I right?

4. Leggings and a tunic

Even better if your leggings had lace at the bottom or were bejeweled!

5. Headbands

Bonus points if you had the flowy ribbon at the end!

6. Zipper binders

Bulky and conventional!

7. Vera Bradley tote bags

It's not actually that bad, in middle school we just liked to use our mom's tote bags.

8. Silly Bandz

Wore so many it was probably bad for blood flow...

9. Webkinz

Every class had one; it was like you very own virtual pet. Don't even get me started on Cash Cow, that game was the bomb.

10. Juicy Couture Tracksuit

Comes in every tacky color you could imagine!

11. Nike Shox

Who spread the rumor that you got an extra bounce when you ran with these?

12. Juicy Couture Daydreamer Bags

I keep asking myself why parents let their 13 year olds prance around with the flashiest, tackiest $300 bag made...

13. Taking Selfies on a Digital Camera, throwing up the peace sign, and making kissy faces

Combine these two emojis...

and you get this...

and because it was the stone ages and there were no front facing cameras, they were taken like this...

14. Abercrombie, Hollister or Aeropostale

Hey everyone, let's all be walking billboards!

15. Wearing way too much eyeliner

In the dawn of the YouTube makeup age, our middle school years were filled with attempts to look 10 times older than we were, and definitely wearing too much black eyeliner everywhere...

16. Playing MASH

When boredom strikes...

17. Butt Branding

It's cute to walk around with "PINK" on your butt! Send help!

18. "Picnik" edited pics

"Yaasss, girl! Werk it! So Iinspirational!"

19. Going to the Apple Store just to use "Photobooth"

When everybody's parents would drop them off at the mall because that was the place to hang out...

20. Hair Feathers

You could even curl them too!!

21. Facebook tag posts (but also not having our real birthdays on FB because we were too young)

You weren't real friends if you didn't tag each other in these...

22. Going to the middle school dance

Fist bump the night away!! Featuring the "YMCA," the "Cha Cha Slide" and "Low."

23. Heeleys

My dad told me that they were dangerous...

24. Shutter shades

I think we were trying to be like Kanye...

25. Side Bangs, the poof and the side pony

The bangs and side pony were explainable, but the poof was definitely Snooki inspired.

All I have to say is...God bless the glo up.
