13 Pick-Up Lines That Used To Make Middle School Girls' Hearts Go Knock Knock

Middle school was a time of not only finding yourself but also finding love for the first time. Just talking to a boy at your locker after class was enough to give you butterflies that would last the rest of the night as you ate dinner with you parents desperately trying to not show that you were totally in love.

From full cans of Axe body spray, mimicking JB's classic swoop hairstyle, and a head-to-toe Hollister outfit, middle school boys tried everything in their power to win over our hearts.

But how did these boys so ultimately capture our hearts and give us that weird nauseous feeling that we all craved so badly?

Their terrible but somehow charming classic middle school pick up lines.

"143"

Because sometimes just saying "I love you" was far too complicated and needed to be shortened.

"Do you believe in love at first sight or should I walk by again?"

This was the most polite and flirtatious way to say "we're going to date whether you like it or not." And somehow, it worked just about every time.

"Rawr means 'I love you' in dinosaur."

Not only is just saying "I love you" easier, this is just really weird.

"I would only change one thing about you... your last name."

Not going to lie, this one still melts my heart. Just wow. 13-year-old me was dying to have someone say this to me.

"Life without you would be like a broken pencil. Pointless."

... I know we were only 13 but was this really the best those boys could come up with?

"If I could rearrange the alphabet I would put 'u' and 'i' together."

Didn't we all make this our Facebook status at one point?

"Roses are red, violets are blue. Lava is hot and so are you."

I remember a boy using this one to another girl in my class while we were learning about lava in Earth Science class. So well played.

"I lost my number. Can I have yours?"

Why did this one literally work every. single. time????

"If you were a booger I'd pick you first."

This has always been gross, even in middle school, but at least back then boogers were still funny.

"I think you've stolen something of mine. My heart."

Imagine getting a text like this on your Razor cell phone... instantly boyfriend material.

"Do you have a phone in your back pocket? That booty is calling me."

Honestly, middle school boys should NEVER have been saying this to anyone, but I'l admit that it was clever and pretty funny. It would have gotten me interested, too.

"I dropped something... my jaw."

No offense... but just pick it up and stop trying, please.

"Let's commit the perfect crime. I'll steal your heart and you'll steal mine."

This is straight out of my Facebook messages with my first ever middle school boyfriend. And it's exactly how he captured my heart.

Do any of these still work today? Only one way to find out...

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
