Well... at least what we thought was "cute"

25 "Cute" Middle School Trends
Abigail Wong

Everything that we thought was "cute," but really plagued our late elementary to early teen years...

1. Gauchos

I'm not going to lie, they were pretty comfy.


2. Anything Disney Channel related, but more specifically ZAC EFRON

Don't kid yourself, you swooned over Troy and wish you were Gabriella in "High School Musical," he's still a babe anyways

3. Anything and everything from Justice or Limited Too

It's a girls world! Am I right?

4. Leggings and a tunic

Even better if your leggings had lace at the bottom or were bejeweled!

5. Headbands

Bonus points if you had the flowy ribbon at the end!


6. Zipper binders

Bulky and conventional!

7. Vera Bradley tote bags

It's not actually that bad, in middle school we just liked to use our mom's tote bags.


8. Silly Bandz

Wore so many it was probably bad for blood flow...

9. Webkinz

Every class had one; it was like you very own virtual pet. Don't even get me started on Cash Cow, that game was the bomb.

10. Juicy Couture Tracksuit

Comes in every tacky color you could imagine!

11. Nike Shox

Who spread the rumor that you got an extra bounce when you ran with these?

12. Juicy Couture Daydreamer Bags

I keep asking myself why parents let their 13 year olds prance around with the flashiest, tackiest $300 bag made...

13. Taking Selfies on a Digital Camera, throwing up the peace sign, and making kissy faces

Combine these two emojis...


and you get this...

and because it was the stone ages and there were no front facing cameras, they were taken like this...


14. Abercrombie, Hollister or Aeropostale

Hey everyone, let's all be walking billboards!

15. Wearing way too much eyeliner

In the dawn of the YouTube makeup age, our middle school years were filled with attempts to look 10 times older than we were, and definitely wearing too much black eyeliner everywhere...

16. Playing MASH

When boredom strikes...

17. Butt Branding

It's cute to walk around with "PINK" on your butt! Send help!

18. "Picnik" edited pics

"Yaasss, girl! Werk it! So Iinspirational!"

19. Going to the Apple Store just to use "Photobooth"

When everybody's parents would drop them off at the mall because that was the place to hang out...

20. Hair Feathers

You could even curl them too!!

21. Facebook tag posts (but also not having our real birthdays on FB because we were too young)

You weren't real friends if you didn't tag each other in these...

22. Going to the middle school dance

Fist bump the night away!! Featuring the "YMCA," the "Cha Cha Slide" and "Low."


23. Heeleys

My dad told me that they were dangerous...

24. Shutter shades

I think we were trying to be like Kanye...

25. Side Bangs, the poof and the side pony

The bangs and side pony were explainable, but the poof was definitely Snooki inspired.


All I have to say is...God bless the glo up.

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?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
