Growing up in the 2000s meant every night at 8 p.m. I was watching a movie on Disney Channel. Sure, I loved the cheesy plot lines, the pretty teenage girls, and the the funny commercials in between... but my absolute favorite part was imagining that the cute boy of every movie was my boyfriend. You could say I was a little boy crazy for someone in elementary school. Can you really blame me though? With all the cute boys in the 2000s and 2010s there was no way I wasn't going to be at least a little boy crazy.

Here are just a few of those boys that contributed to my (and probably yours too) boy craziness growing up.

1. Zac Efron as Troy Bolton in every HSM movie

He was one of the first boys I was ever in love with. I had Zac Efron holding a basketball while wearing an East High jersey on just about everything I owned. I had him on my folders, cups, and even a nightgown, which looking back on it, is kind of creepy.

2. Baby-faced Justin Bieber


Something about his high pitched singing voice and his haircut that covered his forehead was absolutely adorable.

3. Jesse McCartney

Okay, I still have a crush on this guy. I was ridiculously young when "Beautiful Soul" came out, but I still heard it on Radio Disney and completely fell in love.

4. Taylor Lautner

Maybe it was the fact that he loved Bella so much and got himself into the epic love triangle of our time. Or maybe it was his six pack and bicep tattoo. It was probably that.

5. Jesse from Hannah Montana

I definitely was in love with this guy because he was the 'bad boy' that we weren't supposed to like. I always wanted him to end up with Miley and I know that my friends did too. Nothing like a bad boy who plays guitar to make your 10-year-old self swoon.

6. Drake Bell

How could we not fall in love with this guy? He could play guitar, got all the girls, and never failed to crack me up when he was fighting with Josh.

7. Aaron Samuels


His hair will forever look sexy pushed back. Forever and always.

8. Corbin Bleu

Troy Bolton's sidekick stole my heart when I saw him play basketball in the very first "High School Musical." The boy could sing, dance and, double dutch like there was no tomorrow.

9. Every single member of One Direction

I devoted hours of my life to listening to their first few albums. I knew pretty much everything there was to know about them and thought that I was dating all of them at the same time.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
