13 Trends That We Forgot About From Our Middle School Years
College Candy

Why have an iPhone when you can have a flip-phone. IDK, my BFF, Jill? Let’s take some time to reflect on what the biggest fads were in our middle school years.


1. Livestrong-style bracelets.

Although they were made to raise awareness for multiple organizations, we were all just competing to see how many we could fit on our arms. I had 19. Enough said.


2. Myspace.

Formerly known as the incredibly sketchy and unsafe social media platform filled with 12-year-olds.


3. Jean mini-skirts over leggings.

The fashion trend that never really worked.


4. Heelys

Banned from most schools for safety purposes yet still relevant.


5. Ugg Boots.

You’d be lying if you said you never wanted a pair.


6. Razr Phones.

You’d be lying if you said you never wanted one.


7. AIM.

Your screen name probably had something to do with your favorite sport and multiple irrelevant numbers, Am I right? @Soccerluvr298876


8. Now That’s What I Call Music CDs.

All of your favorite hits jam-packed into one awesome album. Want to feel old? They just released volume 91.


9. High School Musical.

Troy and Gabriela basically invented #RelationshipGoals.


10. Hollister and Abercrombie.

Throwback to the stores that display wildly sexual ads, the clothes are too small, and all items are permanently drenched in cologne.


11. Bieber-hair.

I’m pretty sure every boy had this look going at some point. Go ahead, check out their Facebook pictures from 2008.


12. Soulja Boy.

Clear the dance floor everyone, it’s time to “Crank That” in synchronized formation.


13. Floaties.

Squishy-paradise for your feet.



I think that’s enough humiliation for one day. BBM me later!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
