10 Things Every "High School Musical" Fan Knows to be True
Disney Channel

It's been 10 years (!!!) since once of the greatest Disney Channel original movies ever, "High School Musical", came into our lives. The movie became a huge phenomenon around the world and basically defined childhoods and middle school years for many. In honor of the 10th anniversary, I give you 10 things every "High School Musical" fan knows to be true.

1. You saw the preview commercials for the movie and immediately thought, "OMG. I must. See. This."

A movie about high school drama? Where they SING and DANCE? Yes please!! You better believe you had Jan. 20 marked on your calendar back in 2006.

2. You bought the soundtrack right away and listened to it every chance you got.

In the car, on your iPod, wherever you could pop in a CD. It didn't take long before you knew every word to every song and you and your friends were singing along together at school.

3. You watched the movie every time it was on TV, no matter how many times you'd already seen it.

Especially when it was the sing-along version. Or the pop-up version, where fun facts about the movie, the cast and the filming appeared on the screen during certain scenes. No matter which version it was, you loved "High School Musical" so much that you needed to see it again and again.

4. You had to see the live concert tour.

It took a lot of begging to convince your parents to take you - and it was probably on a school night - but you knew this was something you could not miss out on. Heck, this may have been your first live concert, how exciting! Too bad Zac Efron wasn't there (he was filming "Hairspray"), but it was still really cool to see everybody else live, performing all your favorite numbers.

5. You had a premiere party for "High School Musical 2."

Whether you hosted the party or attended someone else's, the sequel's premiere was the can't-miss event for you and your friends at the end of summer 2007.

6. And you definitely got all the feels when they graduated in "High School Musical 3."

Admit it, you probably still do.

7. Every time you hear "What team?", you immediately think, "Wildcats!"

It was basically second nature. We all wanted to be East High Wildcats, and we all hoped that when we got to high school it would be just like it was in the movie - without the random breaking out into song and dance, of course. And then we got to high school and realized unfortunately it wasn't like that...

8. Every New Year's Eve, you think about when Troy and Gabriella met while singing karaoke at that ski lodge and wonder if you will ever find someone like that.

Troy and Gabriella were the definition of relationship goals (and you loved it when Zac and Vanessa dated in real life!). Ugh, why can't life be like "High School Musical"?

9. You still kinda remember the dance moves from "We're All In This Together."

Of course, you watched the movie on Disney Channel on the night the cast taught you the dance during commercial breaks. And of course, you did the dance every time you heard the song or saw the movie from that point on. Even now, you can picture what some of those moves were. And you may even break them out during a sorority dance party.

10. And you freaked out when you found out about the 10-year cast reunion.

OMG, they're all back together again! Except Zac. Why, Zac, why? Still, you couldn't help but be excited to see everyone reminisce about the movie - and be a little depressed because you realized it's been 10 freaking years.

I could add more, but then this article would go on too long. Either way, "High School Musical" will always have a special place in our hearts. Here's to 10 years!

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
