With the one-hundredth Disney Channel Original Movie (DCOM) coming out soon, Disney Channel is reliving all of our childhoods with a non-stop marathon of the movies we love. I don't know about anybody else but I made sure I had plenty of room on my DVR that way the movies I grew up watching never leave my TV. This list may be more of my personal opinion, but here are 10 of the DCOMs that every kid needs to watch, and every "adult" still loves.

1. Motocrossed

This movie is the ultimate girl-power movie as the Andrea Carson aka Andy cuts her hair and rides with the guys pretending to be her older brother. Fooling everybody, including the cutest boy of the 2000s, she dominated a male sport and made us all want a dirt-bike for our birthday.

2. Double Teamed

Double the tall, double the stars, and double the awesome. We can't forget this basketball packed true story of Heather and Heidi Burge as they dominate high school basketball and make their way to the WNBA.

3. The Thirteenth Year

Don't lie this coming of age movie gave you hope that on your thirteenth birthday you would start developing gills, scales, and a fish tale and then discover that your mom was actually a mermaid. Or maybe that was just me...

4. Right on Track

The fast and furious story of the Ender sisters who take the drag racing world by storm. This again made us little girls want to strap on a helmet and get riding. I don't know about you but I always wanted Courtney Ender's pretty pink car.

5. Twitches

Tia and Tamera Mowry discover they are long lost twins who came from a magical other dimension called Coventree. Did I mention they have magical powers and have to defeat their new found uncle from destroying the planet? Still cool though. Don't forget that this DCOM also had a sequel, Twitches Too.

6. Halloweentown

Everybody's Halloween favorites that kept us entranced through five movies about ghouls and goblins that reminded us that being a human is not all that great. Every time I dressed as a witch I always modeled myself after Marney Cromwell. You also secretly hoped that your grandmothers bag contained as many goodies as Aggie's did.

7. Cadet Kelly

One of the many movies that made us fall in love with Hilary Duff. It also made us all lucky that we didn't get shipped off to a military academy, even though we were jealous of her awesome step routine with the streamers at the end of the movie. PSA: Pretty sure this is on Netflix!

8. Stuck in the Suburbs

Danielle Panabaker and Brenda Song are the best friends who change the image of an incredibly hot pop star. This movie made you jealous that a pop stars phone didn't get mixed up with yours. This struck the musical bone in all of us as we attempted to write our own lyrics as a chance to get us noticed by a famous rock star passing through our small towns

9. Smart House

Ahh the movie that made us dream of the technology of the future and pray that our parents would all the sudden be rich enough to afford a house that could make you any type of dessert you could ever want. Besides for the computer mother becoming creepily real at the end of the movie this DCOM is a must see, and must remember.

10. Johnny Tsunami

The tale of the young surfer who moves to Vermont and then rips at snowboarding. The beginning of this movie made all of us wish we lived in Hawaii. Also lets not forget the sequel that introduced to us the young and adorable Jake T. Austin who moved on to steal our hearts on Wizards of Waverly Place.

With 100 DCOMs these 10 only scratch the surface of all the great movies that we grew up watching and the movies we still have a deep love for. So while you are trying to decide what to do with your summer vacation, tune in to DIsney Channel and catch up on the movies you didn't realize you missed!

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
