Admit it, you peaked in middle school. How could you not? Those were the years of side bangs and Uggs with jean skirts. The years when you spent all Friday getting ready for the monthly dance trying to pick out which Limited Too sparkle cami matched your Abercrombie Kids distressed denim. And while you panicked about which boys you probably won't end up slow dancing with while simultaneously straightening the shit out of your hair, you (and probably 15 of "your closest friends") turned up to the best songs ever made!!! Here is your playlist on the stages of getting ready for the ****~~best night of your life~~****

Before the dance:

Temperature by Sean Paul

When you bumped this through your stereo, all your BFFs got crazy. This was the perfect song to start the mood and get everybody practicing their best pop and lock.

Me & U by Cassie

You probably listened to this song as you drew glitter liner across your eyes while trying out your best sexy faces in the mirror and thinking about how this is basically your relationship with **insert crush who doesn't know your name** is going, because tonight you are gonna make that move.

Milkshake by Kelis

By now, you and squad are dressed and ready to strut into your middle school's cafeteria. This song was perf for those last minute Photobooth lip synching videos with synchronized dance moves.

The Car Ride To The Dance

Just Dance by Lady Gaga

The ride there can get a little awkward with your mom totally ruining the mood, but this song was the perfect pump-up jam for you and your girls to belt out. Also, the only lyrics you can understand are "just dance" so your mom can't ruin it by saying, "That is so inappropriate."

Fergalicious by Fergie

Mom: What does that even mean?

"OMG MOM LITERALLY WHO CARES. IT'S DELICIOUS!"

Post-Dance

7 Things by Miley Cyrus

Your night was totally ruined because your crush told his best guy friend to tell your bestie that he would dance with you during Stairway to Heaven, but then decided he was more interested in a 7th grader than you. Really? She was wearing leggings underneath her jean skirt what a NARC.

Welcome to my Life by Simple Plan

Set your away message as ***U dont know what it's like when NOTHING feels alright....bed don't text*** and go to sleep because you just can't believe tonight turned out to be so horrible. Ughhh, Simple Plan are the only people who understand.

Here is a complete list of songs for the perfect middle school pregame. These songs were hand selected from my engraved pink nano. From unsatisfiable teen angst to baby prostitute, these were my ultimate jams. But you might have to ask your mom before listening though because these are the explicit versions...
