You're Literally Still Wearing Your Middle School Fashion Nightmares

Why'd you have to go and make ~*fashion*~ so complicated?

I've noticed something. I'm no historian, but it's true that most trends come back around eventually. Juicy Couture is launching a line of tracksuits for Urban Outfitters this year, and we can only hope Webkinz will be the next to make a comeback. So, sit back, throw on a little Avril Lavigne, and watch history repeat itself.

Plastic Shoes

Then: Check out my sick Jibbitz!

Now: I saw Kim wearing these, so I Amazon primed the Steve Madden knockoffs.

True story, I once wore a hole in my light pink Crocs while riding my Razor scooter to my friend's house. If that isn't the most 2000s story you've ever head, I encourage you to stop reading this article right now.

Loungewear

Then: It is very appropriate for an 85 pound 12 year old to wear sweats that say "Juicy" across the butt.

Now: I can't remember the last time I wore anything but lulu leggings to class.

Graphic Tees

Then: I knew this Aeropostale XS was tight enough when I began to lose circulation in my arms.

Now: Which tshirt-with-an-alcohol-related-slogan will I wear to my 9am finance class today?

True story part II, I wore a black tank top that said "Baby Girl" in gold glitter on it in the fourth grade. On PICTURE DAY. Why my mom let me out of the house in the first place remains a mystery.

Chokers

Then: Does this tattoo choker make me look more Avril or Britney?

Now: No outfit left un-chokered! Not kidding. This leads me to a little section I'd like to call "What the F*ck Forever 21, You Went Way too Far with This One: Choker Edition."

1. Repurposed Denim Choker.

No children's' Wranglers were harmed in the making of this choker. Did I mention this item is SOLD OUT.

2. Fuzzy Faux Fur Choker.

This sort of makes my neck itch just looking at it. Also, why does this remind me of something?

whoop, there it is.

3. Boy Bye Clear Choker.

The perfect accessory for meeting his parents for the first time. Or, perhaps, for developing some sort of rash.

4. Metallic Mood Locket Choker.

There is just so much going on here. If I put this on it would probably read my mood as Very Confused.

5. Modern Structured High Neck Choker.

Kidding people, this is just a neck brace.

Highlights

Then: This clip-in highlight was on sale for $2.75 at Claire's! Steal!

Now: This "shadow root multidimensional hand painted ash blonde balayage" just put me into credit card debt.

I believe the best way to sum up this article is in the immortal words of a 2006 Justin Timblerlake: "What goes around...comes around."

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
