9 Things We All Did In Middle School
Locker Ladder

It's quite interesting how everyone's middle school experience is similar; let's face it, we all tried to look as cool as possible and it backfired more than half the time!

1. Drank energy drinks to look cool


And made sure you posted that picture of you holding a Monster on Myspace so everyone knew.

2. Prank called your crush with all of your friends


Thank god for home phones and *67.

3.Bragged about watching PG-13 or R rated movies


Even if you only saw a few scenes, you still thought you were hot shit.

4. Hung out at the gas station or grocery store


That's where everyone was on Friday evenings, or at least the ~cool~ kids.

5. Used online chat rooms for entertainment


There was always a great crowd on Omegle and Chatroulette.

6. Made really cool and meaningful screennames


Your screenname on AIM told a lot about who you were, puppyluver4lyfe


7. Wore the colorful jelly bands up your arm


Each color had a ~special~ meaning.


8. Wore etnies

Or at least begged to have a pair of hip skater shoes.

9. Took mirror pictures with your Nikon digital camera


with the flash on.

Middle school was a hard time for all of us!

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.

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.
