10 Memories From Middle School

A hard time for all of us, but fun to look back on.

Middle school was rough for just about everyone. Braces, horrible eyeshadow choices, outfits that consisted of graphic tees and skinny jeans, and so many more cringe-worthy things made middle school just that; cringe-worthy. In a way, though, I am sometimes nostalgic for the care-free happy days of being a tween. Here are 10 things that just scream "middle school."

1. Aeropostale graphic tees

The too-tight tees that could be mixed and matched to match just about any outfit!

2. Silly Bandz

Trading them at the lunch table, wearing them up to your elbows, and begging your mom to buy you "just one more pack." I had dozens of these and, honestly, I miss the simple times.

3. Braces

These were awkward days for all of us. Food would get all up in there, you'd have to change your rubber bands before you ate, and it just made life all the harder. Remember when you'd get your school colors before basketball games so you could, you know, really show your school spirit.

4. Recording songs from the radio to set as your ringtone

"Guys, quiet! I'm trying to record Cooler Than Me by Mike Posner as my ringtone!"

5. Picnik editing your photos

Need I say more?

6. 2-day relationships

"Hey. Wanna date?" "Yes." "I love u." "I love u 2." Or something along those lines. And then you'd break up a week later. Crushed.

7. Playing Farmville

Farmville was the move back in those days. That is, if you were ever allowed to even have a Facebook.

8. These shoes

I'm not sure if these shoes were a trend for everyone or if it was just my town, but yeah. I had pair in several different colors. I don't need to explain much else here.

9. Flat-ironing the life out of your hair

My poor, poor hair. I treated you so badly in middle school and I sincerely apologize for that. I hope u still luv me. :(

10. Waiting for high school

Why was I so excited for that again? They seemed so big, mature, old, and so cool. Did I maybe overestimate high school? Yes, a little. I should have cherished my days as a child while I had the chance.

Middle school...I kind of miss you. In a totally nostalgic and weird sort of way. You were not good to me in many ways, but glad I had you. I could go on for a while about how embarrassing middle school was, but I'll just leave you with a few memories.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
