Dumb Shit I Did In Middle School That Proves It Only Goes Up From There

Maybe you're reading this because you're a twenty something or a college student like me who wants to hop on the train to Cringe Town and reminisce. Or perhaps you're reading this because you're a kid growing out of your awkward stage and you're starting to worry about what people think of you. Either way, by the end of this article, we'll all be on the same page: it gets so much better.

Told my crush I wasn't into Twilight to impress him while I was wearing a Twilight shirt

I was standing in the lunch line with my friends and he was a few paces in front of me. I heard him say, "Yeah, Twilight sucks." So to impress him, I was like "Yeah, I hate Twilight." I was wearing a Twilight shirt with Jasper Hale's face on it.

Filmed everything my friends did with my flip phone to capture memories

*Cringes*

Went to history class all hyped up on caffeine and infuriated my teacher

He basically told me I was being an attention whore, but also, I don't trust this man because one time he took a point off my grade for sneezing.

Poured glasses of ice down my chest when I got heat rash after dancing with my crush at a Bar Mitzvah

This one wasn't actually my idea; my friends had my back. I finally scored a dance with the Twilight guy from above, only to suffer a massive heat rash afterwards. My friends rushed me to the bathroom and started pouring ice all over me. After that incident, I met up with him again. He told me he was too busy to date me.

Filmed a makeup tutorial and put it on YouTube for like a day

No no no no no no no no no n o

Wore a trash bag for a costume because I was the Teen Angel in a ratchet version of "Grease"

Years later, I went on to be Sandy. I promise it gets better.

Told all my friends that Robert Pattinson proposed to me

I wasn't actually trying to convince them. It was indeed a joke. But they went on to tell one of my teachers who then went on to think I was really weird. Which I was.

Wore chopsticks I bought from Claire's in my hair

Because fashion.

Told my mom that black was my favorite color and it wasn't a phase

Yeah, it was a phase.

Decided to play detective and tried to locate my biological father because my parents are lesbians and he was a sperm donor

Shortly after, I realized I didn't give a fuck.

Took a tiny sip of beer from a can my friend had stolen and started freaking out, saying "I'm gonna get sick" because I thought my body couldn't handle all that alcohol

My friend basically stole a can of beer from our parents. I ended up spending the night with her and another friend, so we passed it around the circle. I took a single sip and basically thought it was going to kill me.

Put on high heels in a DSW and fell on my face in the middle of one of the isles

7 years later, my mom still gives me shit for that one.

Decided I wanted a Volvo in the future because Edward Cullen had a Volvo and basically screamed every time I saw a Volvo

Mmm.

Put an entire cheeseburger in my mouth

:)
