Middle School Memories We’d Probably All Like To Forget

Let's promise to never talk about the things that happened in middle school ever again.

I know you all probably thought you were super cool back in middle school but I think we can all agree that, looking back, those weren't exactly our best times.

1. Silly Bandz

Let’s be honest, these were like the coolest things ever and you weren’t even a real middle schooler if you didn’t have them.

2. Terribly Awkard Yearbook Photos

Ok so your pictures probably weren’t nearly as bad as these but still, no one is proud of their yearbook pictures. And if you are, you are lying (or a super human who was somehow able to look good in middle school).

3. The Fights

Although you were probably out there cheering with everyone else, you have to admit that middle school fights were just the weirdest things ever especially since the reason for the fight was almost always instantly forgotten by everyone involved.

4. The Weird Lunch Table Cliques

If your school was anything like mine, there was a very clear social ladder in the dreaded lunch cafeteria. Now I know it was super awesome if you were one of the select few who got to sit at the “popular” table but aren’t you glad that you were able to make your own friends eventually and just not care at all what anybody else thought.


5. Being Too Cool for Parents


I know parents can be kind of annoying at times but let’s be honest, we were all absolutely terrible to our parents in middle school. It probably didn’t help that all moms thought it would be cool to volunteer for every possible event. Good thing we got past that phase so we can go shopping with our parents and let them buy things for us again (just kidding, that’s not all they’re good for).

6. Braces

I think we can all agree that braces are the absolute worst, no explanation required.

7. The Dances

Not that things got much better in high school, but middle school dances were the absolute worst. The beginnings were especially terrible because it took a while before some brave soul would move from the guys’ side of the dance floor to the girls’ to finally ask someone to dance. But even after that, it was still pretty weird since no one knew the first thing about dancing. All in all, middle school dances were just a weird time for everyone.

8. The Friends

Ok so this is one you probably don’t actually want to forget because your friendships are probably some of the only good memories you have from middle school. Middle school was a weird time for pretty much everyone but at least you had some great friends to get you through it (plus, no one can speak of these times since you were all equally awkward).

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
