Unable to vertically align div using flexbox

Here's my basic HTML: 

 <div class="col-lg-12">
                <div class="col-lg-4 center-block main-text center-text marg-small boxed">
                <div class="random">Some Text</div>  
                    <div class="col-lg-6 marg-small ">
                    <div  id="pick_channel" class="boxed orange">
                    <div class="square vertical">Channel</div>
                    </div>
                      <div id="pick_objective" class="boxed orange">
                      <div class="square vertical">Objective</div>
                      </div>
                </div>
                </div>
                </div>

And the relevant CSS:

.boxed{
display:flex;
flex-direction: column;
flex-wrap:nowrap;
align-items: center;
}

.square {
height:100px;
width:100%;
display:flex;
align-self:center;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
.vertical{
}

I'm trying to end up with the ids pick_channel and pick_objective as rectangles with the text "Channel" and "Objective" vertically and horizontally centered with their respective divs. I've tried a bunch of combinations, but can't quite figure it out.

here you go

.boxed {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: row;
  flex-wrap: nowrap;
  align-items: center;
  height: 100px;
  width: 100%;
  margin: 10px 0;
}
.square {
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  width: 100%;
  text-align: center;
}
.orange {
  background: orange;
}
.center_content {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  align-items: center;
  width: 100%;
}
<div class="col-lg-4 center_content">
  <div class="col-lg-6 marg-small ">
    <div id="pick_channel" class="boxed orange">
      <div class="square vertical">Channel</div>
    </div>
    <div id="pick_objective" class="boxed orange">
      <div class="square vertical">Objective</div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Something like this:

.boxed {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  flex-wrap: nowrap;
  align-items: center;
}
.square {
  height: 100px;
  width: 100px;
  /* display: flex; */
  /* align-self: center; */
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  border: 1px solid gray;
  text-align: center;
  line-height: 100px;
}
<div class="col-lg-12">
  <div class="col-lg-4 center-block main-text center-text marg-small boxed">
    <div class="random">Some Text</div>
    <div class="col-lg-6 marg-small ">
      <div id="pick_channel" class="boxed orange">
        <div class="square vertical">Channel</div>
      </div>
      <div id="pick_objective" class="boxed orange">
        <div class="square vertical">Objective</div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
