Time For Nostalgia (31 pics)

1

"Nothing screams "I need a shower, but I have Social Studies in three minutes!" quite like this smell."

Graphic t-shirts

2

"Those name-brand clothes were such a flex. If your shirt said Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister, or Aéropostale, you felt like the baddest b#tch in town."

AR tests

3

"Ah yes, the root of my anxiety. If you loved these things, congrats on your incredible ability to work under pressure. You're probably like a doctor now or something, so kudos."

Silly Bandz

4

"OMG, did Trey give you his elephant silly band? You two are totally dating now!"

Scrimmage jerseys

5

These things probably got washed once a year and always smelled like pubescent sweat paired with notes of musty storage closet.

LG EnV3

6

"Admit it, you wanted this phone. Look at that beautiful keyboard! No more T9 for you, baby!"

The cafeteria

7

"I can smell this picture. I can still feel the lower back pain from those seats. This is so visceral."

Braces

8

"Nothing boosts that prepubescent self-confidence quite like being called "train tracks" or "metal mouth" every day! Bonus points to my troopers who also had those horrible rubber bands clamping your jaw shut. Wasn't it just delightful when they'd snap right on your lip?"

Those kids who were way too obsessed with Glee

9

"Literally me."

Sex Ed

10

"I'll bet some guys wish they'd studied those female reproductive diagrams a little harder! Also, stop with the "abstinence only" ###t, okay?"

"I love boobies" bracelets

11

"Brad, Chad, and Chase wore these to school simply because of the word "boobies.""

Blue eyeliner

12

"We really thought we were doing something when we caked blue eyeliner on our bottom lids, huh? Ironically, we could probably all rock this look now."

MASH

13

"OMG, you're gonna marry Tyler! But, you'll have 400 kids and live in a shack."

Bath & Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom perfume

14

"The entire locker room was actually just a cloud of this stuff."

Mustache print

15

"Remember when it was cool to draw a mustache on the inside of your index finger and pose for pictures with it? What the ###k was that?"

Dances

16

"Why were we dancing to "Bed Rock" and "Bottoms Up" and why do I still know all the words?"

Combination locks

17

"What's my combination? Why won't it open? Am I going to be late for Spanish? HELP!"

Picnik

18

"Sometimes your newest Facebook selfie just really needed a glitter border and 11 heart stickers, okay?"

School lunches

19

"Only the best for our developing bodies!"

The beginning of One Direction

20

"The start of a beautiful era."

Infinity scarves

21

"What better way to dress up a school hoodie than with a chevron infinity scarf?"

These little butt-scooter things

22

"It was all fun and games until you inevitably ran over all your fingers."

The Twilight fandom

23

"Did your school have those kids who pretended to be vampires after reading and/or watching Twilight? Are they okay now?"

Bobby Jack clothing

24

"Those shirts probably should've stayed in elementary school. Sidenote: When are we bringing gauchos back?"

Charlie the Unicorn

25

""CANDY MOUNTAIN, CHARLIE!" Admit it, you can absolutely hear this picture."

UGG boots

26

"Bonus points if you hid your phone in your shoe so you could text in class!"

Colorful Duck Tape

27

"Why was it cool to have patterned duck tape? Why did we all want duck tape wallets? What was that?"

Wearing mismatched socks

28

"Middle schoolers love to express themselves, and what better way to do so than by wearing neon socks that don't match? It's not a phase, Mom!"

Kickball

29

"Does this trigger your fight or flight response?"

Crimped hair

30

"We didn't even look this good, tbh."
