OH MIDDLE SCHOOL WHAT A TIME! Y’all remember Myspace? Destroying your parent’s computer downloading early oughts tracks on Limewire? Having your entire life consumed by the banality of bullies, and first crushes, and homework, and thinking life was so dang hard?
What I wouldn’t do to go back in time and tell myself to stop stressing so hard because, truly, it was all down hill from there. What I wouldn’t do to tell 12-year-old me to chill on the cookie dough, and that my first crush Kevin would grow up to be a total loser (sorry Kevin), and that I should appreciate all the free food while I still could.
But alas. Instead, these tweets will have to do:

Do you remember when your mom would take you shopping and you would come home and do a “fashion show” for your dad who was half asleep on the couch and would give you a nod and a “very nice” for every outfit or was that just my family.

I feel sorry for Netflix era kids. They will never know the high stakes adrenaline of running to the bathroom/fridge/bedroom in a single ad break, with the beckoning call of a sibling screaming “It’s ONNNNNN” to send you hurdling over furniture to get back in time.
