13 Pictures From Your Middle School Phone That Will Haunt Your 'Facebook Memories' Forever

If you weren't awkward in middle school, you're lying. Sadly, our middle school awkwardness has been captured and put online forever.

Let's take a trip back to middle school. A much simpler time. You think you're all that. Life was easy and the only person you couldn't stand was the boy who broke up with you last week. In your free time, you took pictures.

So many pictures.

It is now the year 2018 and these pictures have come back to haunt you. Here are 13 pictures we are all most definitely doing our best to hide from the world.

1. A way-too-close webcam picture.

Usually featuring a strange pose, bad lighting, and way too much eyeliner.

2. A picture from when you bought yourself a crown.

This picture took many shots to get right. Now you wonder why you chose the one where you're not even looking and your black nail polish is chipping.

3. A picture from that app that used a collage of pictures to make shapes.

Look closely and you will pray that this was never posted anywhere.

4. A picture with duck lips AND a peace sign.

This is a lethal combination. It is to be avoided at all costs. If brought back to the surface years later, run. Oh goodness, run away. Hide!

5. An overedited picture with a rainbow filter.


This, once again, features way too much eyeliner, but includes barely being able to actually see your face.

6. A picture of just your eyes.

Super tumblr at the time, but now just embarrassing. There was most definitely an "inspiring quote" below this picture such as, "I keep my eyes wide open." It really wasn't inspiring, just lyrics to a song you liked.

7. A picture making fun of the "popular girls."

Which honestly just became you copying exactly what they do.

8. A picture of you being "flexible."

This picture almost always became your profile picture as a way to show people how athletic you were. It featured a messy background and probably an ugly face which you really hoped people would just ignore.

9. A picture that exemplified the feather trend.

A feather in your hair was all the rage back in the middle school days. As much as you said you wanted to stand out, you definitely followed this trend like a puppy.

10. Another over-edited picture but this one features an "important date."


That date was probably the day your best friend asked a boy to date you and he said yes. You posted this picture eight days later once you had decided this was true love. A month later you hated him.

11. Another super tumblr picture.

This was your profile picture for months even though it didn't even have your face in it.

12. The only surviving picture from your first musical.

You burned the rest, but this one made its way to Facebook. The face paint still haunts you to this day.

13. Finally, the one you know you should be embarrassed about, but you also still think is really cute.

Because c'mon, you were cringey but you still were kinda cute, right?


Obviously, trying to hide these pictures doesn't always help. They're incredibly embarrassing but hey, we all have them. Let's embrace our middle school awkwardness and all laugh about it together!

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.
