How Disney Channel Movies Gave Me Unreal Expectations

We all love our Disney Channel Original Movies, but they really weren't that great with comparison to real life.

Okay, let’s be honest. We all know you clicked on this just so you could see if it was another bashing of Cinderella or Snow White. Well sorry, but this one is aimed more at Disney Channel Movies than Disney Movies.

Let's just start out that with boys! In real life American high schools, there are no Zac Efron's, Luca Till’s, Ross Lynch's, Corbin Bleu's, Jonas Brothers, or Sprouse twins. I’m not talking about just looks here either I’m talking about how they for they treated girls! They were so nice and funny and not awkward ( for the most part) also, chivalry was not dead in Disney Channel movies! Not to mention that when they did inevitably screw it up, they always managed to make it better by serenade and an apologize. Also, I never got to go tour a new city with a famous boy who managed to avoid the paparazzi with some shades and a hat….


There was a lack of singing and choreographed dance when I was in high school. I think that was partly because my high school choir teacher didn't like show choir... But when my team was trying to get pumped for practice we never go to have a cool dance routine...we got to run.. in circles...that's about as synchronized as we got. Also when I was trying to make a super hard decision, I was not able to roam the halls and sing while dramatically leaning against the lockers. There were also no cool places where the “cool kids” sat. There was no ramp that a blessed “geek” was invited to because in my high school the “cool kids” were also the “geeks.”

Disney Channel Movies taught us a lot I will agree to that, like the fact the Lizzie Mcguire's animated alter ego was basically the first bitmoji. To not judge a book by its cover because the shy girl just might the biggest radio DJ in town. I mean really who would have thunk it huh?

Or that the perfect, popular girl is not really superficial and falls for the nerdy boy. But please get serious with me for a second, Disney ruined my idea of a relationship for a while. I thought that I was supposed to find my “one” *gag* in High School! I mean I know that they never directly mention it but it's very subtle with how the boy always gets the girl. It literally happens every time, don't believe me?

Let's see…

Troy and Gabriella - High School Musical

Christopher and Jessica - Star Struck

Josh and Dylan - Geek Charming

Gavin and Tara - Radio Rebel

The list goes on... but I think you get my point.

Yes!! I love my Disney Channel Movies like any other girl I just thought I would say what we have all been thinking for a while. I also would like to add I never go my own musical number... but it's fine...

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.

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.

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.
