Growing Up With Disney Channel

18 shows that defined my childhood.

Disney Channel was a big part of my childhood. I watched it often on Saturday mornings and with my older sister after school. No other channel's content was as hilarious and meaningful as Disney Channel's. I learned life lessons from talking otters to boys that lived in a hotel. No matter the Disney Channel show, it was bound to be great, but the shows below are the ones that I will remember for a long time.

Early Childhood:

1. "Bear in the Big Blue House"

This show used to be on at 5 AM and sometimes when I was little, I would purposely wake up that early just to watch it. Sorry, Mom.

2. "Madeline"

3. "Out of the Box"

This show made me want to build a house out of boxes, but mine never turned out as cool at theirs.

4. "Rolie Polie Olie"

What is cuter than a family of robots? Nothing.

5. "PB&J Otter"

Early Elementary School:

6. "Even Stevens"

7. "The Proud Family"

8. "Lizzie McGuire"

Lizzie McGuire was my role model, and I wouldn't mind having a cartoon character of myself to give me advice!

9. "Kim Possible"

Kim Possible is cooler than me, and I accept that.

10. "Lilo and Stitch: The Series"

I remember being so happy that there was going to be a TV show after the movie premiered!

Mid-Elementary School:

11. "That's So Raven"

I loved this crazy family.

12. "Phil of the Future"

13. "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody"

Boys that lived in a hotel. No further explanation is needed.

14. "Hannah Montana"

This was definitely the greatest Disney Channel show. Girl by day, pop sensation by night; she really did have the "Best of Both Worlds."

Late Elementary School:

15. "Cory in the House"

The era of spin-offs began with this show. It was a really cool concept, but I always found myself missing Raven.

16. "Phineas and Ferb"

"There's 104 days of summer vacation..."

17. "Wizards of Waverly Place"

If this show was still on, I would probably still watch it.

18. "The Suite Life on Deck"

This was another spin-off, and by this point, Zack and Cody were in high school. It was strange but I loved it.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
