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.

College is supposed to be one of the best times of your life. However, it is also one of the toughest transitions to make.

You truly are on your own. I was blessed to meet my best friends within the first week of school. Your college friends are so important and here’s why:

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
