Middle School Days

A trip down memory lane.

Middle School: the three most awkward years of your entire life. You're no longer "babies" but you're not quite adults yet. You endure pointless drama, obsess over the hottest trends, and have your "first heartbreak." If you're a member of the "Razr/En-v generation," you'll remember this so well—here are 10 things everyone was guilty of in middle school.

1. Recording your favorite song on the radio for your ring tone

Don't lie and say you never did this! I clearly remember spending at least 15 minutes recording a Jonas Brothers or a Taylor Swift song to make sure it was perfect for my ringtone.

2. Picnick Photos

Who can forget the picnick-edited photos that you made for graduation, your best friends, your "boyfriend"/"girlfriend," etc. I used to be obsessed with picnick, and this was one of the many edited photos I made during middle school.

3. Ed Hardy

Remember when everyone wore Ed Hardy everything—t-shirts, hats, bags, shoes, etc.—and thought we were hot s***? It was not a good time for any of us.

4. En-v 2 and the Razr were the "must have" phones



If you didn't have an En-v 2 or a Razr, you weren't cool enough. Looking back on it, I must have gone through at least five En-v 2s due to technical problems.

5. The terrible layered/side bangs short haircut with braces

Ugh! It gets better. It gets better. My awkward stage was terrible, and I am so happy I got rid of this look 11 months after this photo was taken. I honestly don't know why I thought I was attractive and thought I rocked this look, but obviously, I was quite wrong.

6. The OG Selfies

The pre-iPhone selfies. I don't know why we didn't ask someone else to take the picture for us, but hey, it was cool.

7. Middle School Dances

This were the best nights EVER! At my middle school, we had one once a month on a Friday night, and my friends and I would then sleep over at one of each other's houses. Good times.

8. Matching Outfits with your Friends


Whenever you and your friends went to the mall over the weekend, you would buy the same exact shirt in different colors and wear them to school that Monday.

9. The Secret Handshakes

You and your besties always did your secret handshake whenever you saw each other at school

10. Passing Notes in Class

You would try to pass notes to your friends in class without the teacher catching you, but you most likely always got caught.

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.
