Junior high was pivotal in testing how awkward you could be without even trying (thanks puberty). As I found myself sitting alone on the bus or in between classes, I realized music was what made me feel better after I slipped on the ice in front of all of the buses or when another girl made fun of my hair cut, braces, acne, clothes, etc. It was amazing how I could plug my headphones into my silver iPod Nano and the whole world disappeared. While I don’t particularly like to relive junior high, I have to say, the music between 2004 and 2007 was pretty kick ass. I hope this playlist takes you back to only the good parts of junior high.
