There are so many good Disney Channel Original Movies (or DCOMs for short) out there, but few compare to what, in my opinion, is one of the best movie trilogies out there, "High School Musical." As Disney Channel is celebrating its 100th DCOM this month, I decided to look back on my favorite DCOM moments. Naturally, they are mostly from the High School Musical series. For reasons revealed later in this list, they will allways hold a special place in my heart. To be clear, I'm including "High School Musical 3" in this list because, even though it's technically not a DCOM (It premiered in theaters), the "High School Musical" trilogy as a whole is regarded as being from Disney Channel. So, without further ado, here are some of my favorite High School Musical moments!

1. Troy and Gabriella Meet

From the moment the first movie started, we all knew these two were gonna get together. We just didn't know how magical it was going to be! These two made us laugh and cry like nothing else could, and it all started with this one song. It really was the "Start of Something New."

2. Everyone's Got a Secret Obsession

Sharpay can get ticked off pretty easily. When she does, it usually leads to some of the best moments in the series. This particular time is no exception when she gets mad at Troy and Gabriella for messing of the balance of everything. Because of this, everyone ends up confessing their deepest and darkest secrets to those around them in one of the best musical moments of the series! We find out that a basketball player can bake, a science whiz loves to pop and lock ("Is that even legal?"), and one of the "skater kids" can even play the cello!

3. He Doesn't Dance

While "High School Musical 2" was my least favorite of the three movies, it still spawned one of my favorite musical segments from the series. In this segment, Sharpay's brother, Ryan, is trying to convince Chad, Troy's best friend, to dance in a performance being put on at the resort they're all working at for the summer. Chad challenges Ryan to a game of baseball and singing ensues, resulting in one of the best songs of the movie.

4. The Senior Play

Emotions! This part of the best of the three movies was something I will always love! It was finally time for Troy's big choice. Would he choose basketball, which he had dreamed of doing all of his life, or theater, something he loved just as much? Well, he chose both! But that's not the important part. He chose both because it was a school "exactly 32.7 miles from" Gabriella, his girlfriend for going on three years!

5. Graduation

This particular song holds a special place in my heart. You see, at my high school, every class (Class of 2015, etc., not English class) has to both make a float and create a "cheer" for the Homecoming Pep Rally. (Homecoming for my school is in early February.) Back in late 2013 and early 2014, my class began scheming with making our 2015 performance "High School Musical"-themed. In the couple months before our basketball homecoming (Football wasn't yet established enough in my small school to have a football homecoming.), we practiced several times a week. For our performances (one for when the float was going around and another for our "cheer"), we chose the original "We're All in This Together" and this song, "High School Musical." For this particular song, my class, at the very end, took off some black jackets we'd been wearing and revealed our college t-shirts underneath.


There are so many good parts in "High School Musical" that it's hard to list them all here! If you know of some moments that I didn't list here, be sure to list them in the comments for others to enjoy! I know I will!

Oh, and, as a special bonus, here's another little gem I found.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

Yes, the math major is doing a math-related post. What are the odds? I'll have to calculate it later. Many people have probably learned about the Fibonacci sequence in their high school math classes. However, I thought I would just refresh everyone's memories and show how math can be beautiful and apply to physical things everywhere around us with stunning examples.
