Dear Middle School Trends

I'm sorry.

Dear Middle School Trends
Huffington Post

I'm sorry.

Truly. I never respected you. You stood the test of time. I didn't believe you would. You understood practicality.

Here's to the socks and sandals –

You cover my toes without judgement. You create airflow. You let me express my sock game with much strength.

Here's to the hoodies –

You cradle me in your endless warmth. You give everything and don't ask for anything in return. I slip you on in the pre-8 a.m. class sleep buzz. You match with my heart.

Here's to the sweat pants –

You come in all shapes and sizes. It's not about how well worn they are, it's about how similar they are to actual pants. It's a secret you'll never tell.

Here's to the crocs –

Thank you for making a shoe product that stays afloat in water. You protect me from all harm and unusual circumstances: those rocks and sharp objects always stray in my way. You give me holes but fill the holes and cracks in my heart.

Here's to the vests –

A coat with no arms. The original unrated look. You combine well with my tee or my sweater. I can't believe you weren't a part of my life earlier. My dear sweet arms can get 360 movement.

Here's to the "tying my shirt around my waist" –

Practical. The joy of showing a shirt without wear. You keep the 2 inches of my waist covered. Your cape is a sense of pride. Who even wears shirts anymore...

Here's to the boot leg jeans –

Wow. I truly never I thought you'd be back in my drawer. But there you are, sliding back and giving me the breeze my ankles desire. I couldn't be more grateful.

Middle school trends, I underestimated you. I hope you accept my dearest apologies.

Your forever fan,

A 2000s baby.

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.
