Once Upon A Middle School Outfit

Mirror mirror on the wall, please tell me I've changed.

Remember the good old middle school days? Yeah, me neither.

Looking back at old pictures, I thought I was hot stuff. But I also thought those were my peaking years...thank goodness I was wrong about both.

Being millennials, we were just as guilty by the fashion police of the same horrible fashions that haunt our parents of the 70s and 80s. We just followed what came into style without even thinking that maybe shorts shouldn't act like a pushup bra, or that jacket was just a bit too bedazzled.

Here are some more fads that we were guilty of as middle schoolers.

1. Silly Bandz

2. Chokers (a tad different than the chokers we wear now)

3. Butter jackets/bedazzled sweatshirts

4. High-waisted shorts

5. Abercrombie/Hollister shirts

6. Sophie shorts

Like I said... I thought i was such a babe at the time.

7. Sugarlips

8. I <3 Boobies bracelets

9. Vera Bradley lunch box

10. Andddd peace sign everything

Peace out middle school, see you NEVER!

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
