10 Middle School Pictures That Actually Did Happen

One question: Did you truly attend middle school if you didn’t take pictures that looking back on now make you a little queasy? No need to fear, you are not alone.

In fact, every girl in middle school went through it. Those days where taking a selfie meant locking yourself in your bedroom or bathroom, taking 45 minutes to actually take the picture, then running to Myspace to upload it, or the pictures with your friends where at least four of you had matching Hollister graphic T-shirts on.

Here are the different middle school pictures that did, in fact, actually happened, and in case you need proof you aren’t alone, here it is.

1. Duck lips picture.

Maybe it’s the sass that you can bring to the picture that made this face one of the most popular ones every middle school girl did. It says, “I can be cute but also bring the sassiness to the picture all in one.”

2. Tongue out picture.

Story behind this: I took my dad’s flip phone to take this because my Env was dead. I loved this picture so much, I sent it to myself, only later getting yelled at because my dad didn’t have picture messaging.

3. Picture containing self-timer.

"How long do I have?" "Ten seconds just do a pose!"

4. The picture containing a random object you just threw on for the picture.

Because we all know I never wore that hat around all day or ever.

5. The peace sign picture.

Because there's nothing a fifth grader wants to do more than spread the peace, right?

6. The super uncomfortable group picture.

"Are we smiling?" "No, why would we?"

7. The “jumping in front of the sun to make it look like silhouettes” picture.

Nothing says a Kodak moment like two silhouettes jumping.

8. The shadow picture.

If the two silhouettes jumping weren’t enough, a shadow picture might have just happened.

9. The picture where your arm may have been a little too high.

I’m not sure if the goal of these pictures was to get your entire body in a shot, or to add a dramatic effect, but whether we want to admit it or not, it happened.

10. The over-edited Picnik picture.

If the picture didn’t contain any edits whatsoever, it probably wasn’t Myspace worthy.

In case any of these brought back terrible nightmares, no need to fear. Your middle school self is in the past, and all you have left of them is pictures. Don’t be afraid to look back and laugh at them once in a while. The uglier the better, right?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
