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!
