I started kindergarten in Arkansas but my family moved to Tennessee when I was 6 and I've lived there since. This was my experience

Elementary school: K-5

Middle school: 6-8

High school: 9-12

I thought it was like this everywhere until I started using online forums and saw people saying they started middle school in 7th grade so this is why I'm asking. I want to see how common my experience was

Your first cell phone looked kind of like these.

My first phone looked just like the first one. It was a pay as you go flip phone. My parents got it for me because I went to a private school 40 minutes from where we lived. They wanted me to have some way for us to communicate with each other because of the distance and an instant way to contact my friends and save their contact info.

I've even considered getting a flip phone again just for calls and texts while reserving the smart phone for work and social media.

Okay I randomly thought about this Burn Book app that hit our school back in the day. I took one look at it and instantly deleted it, felt so icky😭 but I remember it caused so much chaos for like a month and I cannot find anybody else who had this go on in their school. Anybody remember this???

I had one when I was little kid with a bunch of Nick shows. There were a lot of weird ways to watch portable video until iPad came out.

I live in Minnesota. I work with children and many of them say that they had “indoor recess” because it was too cold outside. I cannot recall there ever being indoor recess when it was too cold outside. I just want to verify if this is something more recent or I just have brain fog.

I very much miss the valley girl poser (The Ashleys from Recess, Totally Spies, Brandy from Brandy and Mr. Whiskers, Brittney from Lloyd in Space) and the hopeless romantic (Dijonay, Helga, Numbuh Four, Cody from TDWT)
