Disney Channel's Best Original Movies

For all the DCOM lovers.

Disney Channel's Best Original Movies
Wikia

2016 was the 10-year anniversary of "High School Musical" airing on the Disney Channel for the first time. This past week, it was announced that the series' fourth film is in the works with a brand new cast. Following the announcement, I found myself reminiscing about Disney Channel Original Movies (DCOM) and DCOM series that I loved growing up. So here are some of my other favorites (in no specific order).

1. "Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century"

We all wanted to live in the future, in a space station, and listen to Proto Zoa after watching the "Zenon" movies. You probably often found yourself using her famous catchphrases when talking to your friends, too.

2. "The Thirteenth Year"

You remember, it was the one about the kid who turns into a mermaid on his 13th birthday. Completely normal.


3. "The Luck of the Irish"

Another movie about the main character turning into a fictional character. This time, he turns into a leprechaun after his hair turns orange and his ears become pointy.

4. "Get a Clue"

Lindsay Lohan and Brenda Song turned us all into well-dressed detectives after watching them investigate the mystery behind their missing teacher.

5. "Gotta Kick It Up!"

An inspirational true story about a middle school dance team. These girls taught us that we could do whatever we put our minds to.


6. "The Even Stevens Movie"

The hilarious TV show released its own DCOM and we loved every second of it, especially when Louis and Ren were chased by the robot lawn chair.

7. "The Cheetah Girls"

I don't know about you, but I wanted to wear matching sweatsuits and headbands with my friends and sing in the streets of New York City after watching "The Cheetah Girls" for the first time. Don't lie, you know the words.


8. "Camp Rock"

We lived for Demi and Joe's scenes in the films, so their mini-reunion singing "This is Me" on her tour in 2014 was everything.


9. "Halloweentown"

Another film that made us wish we had magical powers and reminded us that it's OK to be different.


10. "Cow Belles"

Aly and AJ made getting up at the crack of dawn to work at a dairy farm seem interesting, and even kind of fun.

11. "Stuck in the Suburbs"

This film focused on what would happen if you accidentally switched your cell phone with your favorite pop star's, who just so happened to be in your town. It was also a pretty accurate representation of what all of our middle school lockers looked like.

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.

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.
