It was the most awkward time of your life. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Who are we kidding? It was just the worst of times. Here's some of the most cringe-worthy things you loved in middle school.
1. Angsty boy bands
You remember your Fall Out Boy obsession? Or All Time Low? Boys Like Girls?
2. Silly bands
Honestly, props to whoever the heck invented silly bands because they probably made way too much money for an animal-shaped rubber band.
3. Tech Decks
Why were these mini skateboards such a thing? Also your middle school teachers' worst nightmare.
4. Embarrassing Facebook posts
Your friends love to find them and bring them back to your attention. You'll never get away from them.
5. Aeropostale, Abercrombie, and Hollister graphic tees
Who were you if you didn't wear these? The amount of money I spent on them (because they were obviously overpriced) was probably ridiculous.
6. Teen Nick
Zoey 101, Drake and Josh, iCarly, Big Time Rush. Enough said.
7. Communicating exclusively through Facebook wall posts
Instead of, I don't know-- texting, we decided to communicate through Facebook wall posts. Not even commenting on the wall posts... but separate wall posts. Why?
8. Picnik
If you didn't edit your pictures... who were you?
9. Sperrys
We wore these boat shoes everywhere. Guys and girls. They were our favorites.
10. Cargo shorts
Before they became the butt of many jokes, we all thought cargo shorts were cool. C'mon boys, you know you had multiple pairs.
The most awkward years of your life are over-- thank God.
