Five Child Stars: Where Are They Now?

We all remember them from television shows we watched as a child, but where have they come since then. 

We all know that being a child actor is very different that being an adult actor, so how have these child stars managed that transition into adulthood?

1. Blake McIver Ewing

The infamous Waldo from "The Little Rascals" whose main goal was to woo Darla  with his riches. Since "The Little Rascals," he has voiced the character of Eugene Horowitz and appeared as the voice of Menlo on the television series "Recess." Ewing now is 29 years old, and is a graduate from UCLA.

2. Ricky Ullman

He played Phil on the Disney Channel television show "Phil of The Future." After his role there, he has made a guest appearance on "Law and Order: SVU." Ullman lives in Los Angeles where he regularly volunteers for TAP (Teen AIDS Prevention). 

3. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

Known for their role as Michelle Tanner on the popular television show "Full House," they were an icon for preteens in the ‘90s and ‘00s. As they have matured they are now known for their sense of fashion and have since then launched their own fashion line called “The Row”. 

4. Jonathan Lipnicki 

You may know him as from the movie "Stuart Little," or from "The Little Vampire." After his many roles in movies as a child, he decided to take a break and enter public school, but quickly went back to acting. And let me tell you, he is not bad to look at either! 

5. Blake and Dylan Tuomy-Wilhoit 

They too starred on "Full House" just like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen but they played Nicky and Alex Katsopolis. Blake and Dylan have, since Full house, quit acting and have tried to lead normal lives. They graduated from John Burroughs High School located in Burbank in 2010. 

6.     Mackenzie Rosman

Rosman joined the Camden Clan from "7th Heaven" in 1996. Since then she has starred in numerous films including The Tombs and Fading of The Cries.  She has also guest starred on Secret Life of The American Teenager. In 2007 she graduated from Valencia High School and currently resides in Hollywood. 

7.     Tia and Tamera Mowry 

After their popular show "Sister, Sister" ended they both studied psychology at Pepperdine University. Tia met her now husband, Cory Hardrict, in 2001 and has a son named Cree Taylor. Tamera married Fox News Correspondent, Adam Housely and has one son named Aden. Their lives were documented on a reality television show on the Style channel called "Tia & Tamera". 

8.     Alexa Vega

She was mostly known fro her role as Carmen in the movie "Spy Kids". After her acting roles she also has a career in music. In 2013 she got engaged to Carlos Pena of Big Time Rush and married in January of 2014.  

9.     Frankie Muniz

Muniz continued his acting career until April of 2006 when he announced that he was taking a break to pursue his race car driving career. On November 30th, 2012 Muniz was hospitalized from having a mini stroke and has resided in Arizona since then. 

10.     Drake Bell

After his work on "Drake and Josh", he started with his music career and spends his time supporting the non-profit organization that addresses the issue of  the clean water issue. In 2005, he was in a car accident where he fractured his spine and a broken jaw. And earlier this year he filed for bankruptcy.

So there you have it, ten child stars all grown up! Is it all you were expecting and more?!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
