Over the weekend while I was doing some late spring cleaning, I found my old, middle school era iPod. By some miracle I still had a charging cord, and I plugged that bad boy in. Let me tell you, scrolling through the music catalog was like stepping into a time machine. I was met with One Direction albums and singles from artists I that I haven't thought of in years.
