Ahh... to be in middle school.

6 Memories From 2013, Because Life Was Easier Then

3..2..1.. Happy New Year! Welcome to 2013.

I think we could all use a break from 2020, so let's take a look back at a simpler time.

Vine

Gifer

Vine was pretty much the modern day TikTok, only with shorter videos and a focus on comedy. If you don't know what the man is saying in the above gif, did you even have vine?

"Thrift Shop"

Billboard

According to the Billboard Hot 100, the top song of 2013 was "Thrift Shop" by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Honestly, this song is still a bop.

If you really wanna get into the feel of 2013, Spotify has a playlist of all the top hits.

The Harlem Shake

Cuepoint

If you don't recall, The Harlem Shake was a trend where people would dress in costume, and dance to "Harlem Shake" by Baauer. As a middle schooler during this time, I unfortunately have plenty of embarrassing videos of me participating in this meme.

Miley Cyrus's VMAs Performance

RollingStone

Miley Cyrus made pop culture history by twerking on stage during her VMAs performance with Robin Thicke. After flying under the radar for a few years when Hannah Montana ended, Miley stepped back into the spotlight in a big way. Today, twerking is more widely accepted, especially on TikTok, and is far less taboo.

What Does The Fox Say?

Youtube

Does it say "Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!"? "Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!"? "Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!"?

We may never know.

"Selfie"

MemeMaker

Remember when everyone was obsessed with selfies? 2013 was the year "selfie" was added to the dictionary; How wonderful.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
