#BackIn7thGrade Brings Up Crushes, Braces and Awkward Dances

One of today’s most popular hashtags, #BackIn7thGrade, is all about nostalgia. For some, myself included, 7th grade was the time when kids from different schools from across the city merged into one, stress-inducing jail cell called “middle school.” It was a nerve-wracking, make-the-wrong-move-and-you’re-socially-dead kind of pressure that a full set of braces and paralyzing fear of the opposite sex only made worse
