Middle school. A place where 11 to 14-year-olds have no more recess, "fall in love," are mean to each other, and puberty hits them like a truck. Definitely not a place I would volunteer as tribute to go back to. I just turned 19 last month and today, I finished my freshman year of college. It's been 5 years since I finished middle school. Quite accomplishing. One of the best parts about middle is the music.
