While those of us in our late teens and early 20s are happy to be on the road to adulthood, we'll never forget our middle school days. Probably the most awkward two to three years of our lives. How'd we get through it, you might ask? Well. . . here's a list of things that made us happy in 2010.

1. A crimper

In middle school, I crimped my hair every day, even if I was just putting it into a messy ponytail. The day I broke my crimper was a sad day.

2. Omegle

Giphy

The days of finding randos to talk to, and occasionally seeing something you didn't want to see.

3. Name brand hoodies

Without a Hollister hoodie, who even were you?

4. Miss Me jeans

Bling on the butt was the move for some reason.

5. Kik

Without an iPhone, I turned to using Kik on my iPod to feel like a cool, iPhone-using gal.

6. A slider phone with teeny buttons

The purple Samsung Strive was my first ever phone! I had to use my nails to press the tiny buttons carefully. Sometimes it blows my mind that my younger siblings will never have the experience of using a phone that's not a smart phone.

7. Blue eye shadow

I always thought matching my eyeshadow to my outfit was the way to go. And I wear a lot of blue, so....

8. Feather extensions

I LOVED my feather extensions. Anyone think I should try to bring them back in style?

9. BFF necklaces

I can't recall actually ever wearing one of these, but I know I always bought them.

Some stellar advice from 13-year-old Brenna to 20-year-old Brenna, in the form of a edited picture.

Again, I repeat, can we bring feather extensions back?

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
