Middle School Days

A trip down memory lane.

Middle School: the three most awkward years of your entire life. You're no longer "babies" but you're not quite adults yet. You endure pointless drama, obsess over the hottest trends, and have your "first heartbreak." If you're a member of the "Razr/En-v generation," you'll remember this so well—here are 10 things everyone was guilty of in middle school.

1. Recording your favorite song on the radio for your ring tone

Don't lie and say you never did this! I clearly remember spending at least 15 minutes recording a Jonas Brothers or a Taylor Swift song to make sure it was perfect for my ringtone.

2. Picnick Photos

Who can forget the picnick-edited photos that you made for graduation, your best friends, your "boyfriend"/"girlfriend," etc. I used to be obsessed with picnick, and this was one of the many edited photos I made during middle school.

3. Ed Hardy

Remember when everyone wore Ed Hardy everything—t-shirts, hats, bags, shoes, etc.—and thought we were hot s***? It was not a good time for any of us.

4. En-v 2 and the Razr were the "must have" phones

If you didn't have an En-v 2 or a Razr, you weren't cool enough. Looking back on it, I must have gone through at least five En-v 2s due to technical problems.

5. The terrible layered/side bangs short haircut with braces

Ugh! It gets better. It gets better. My awkward stage was terrible, and I am so happy I got rid of this look 11 months after this photo was taken. I honestly don't know why I thought I was attractive and thought I rocked this look, but obviously, I was quite wrong.

6. The OG Selfies

The pre-iPhone selfies. I don't know why we didn't ask someone else to take the picture for us, but hey, it was cool.

7. Middle School Dances

This were the best nights EVER! At my middle school, we had one once a month on a Friday night, and my friends and I would then sleep over at one of each other's houses. Good times.

8. Matching Outfits with your Friends

Whenever you and your friends went to the mall over the weekend, you would buy the same exact shirt in different colors and wear them to school that Monday.

9. The Secret Handshakes

You and your besties always did your secret handshake whenever you saw each other at school

10. Passing Notes in Class

You would try to pass notes to your friends in class without the teacher catching you, but you most likely always got caught.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
