Why Hilary Duff Is My Favorite Disney Channel Star

She was amazing back in the early 2000s and is still amazing now.

Why Hilary Duff Is My Favorite Disney Channel Star

Growing up, I was a big fan of "Lizzie McGuire," and I watched the show all the time. And l know that I might be a little biased because my name is Elizabeth; growing up my nickname was Lizzie, so I felt a strong connection to her. My love for "Lizzie McGuire" then grew into a full blown obsession with Hilary Duff. And although I’m much older now and out of my obsession phase, I still believe that Hilary Duff was a great role model for me.

I know, aside from my biased opinion, that it was still a great show. It was a show taught us important truths about growing up, like that it doesn’t matter whether or not you are popular in the grand scheme of things. But it showed this in a way that was camouflaged enough so that we didn’t know that we were learning anything. We just thought that we were watching an amazing show.

She sang about things that I could relate to, and she actually could sing. Many Disney channel stars went on to be “singers,” although many of them were not the most talented...Disney just tried to make everyone into a singing sensation. Luckily, Hilary Duff could really sing and she was successful too. In fact, one of my greatest Christmas presents was tickets to her concert (Thanks, Santa!).

She starred in plenty of great movies, which are still fun to watch now. Raise Your Voice, "A Cinderella Story," "Cadet Kelly," and "Cheaper by the Dozen," 1 and 2, are among many others.

She quietly removed herself from the limelight when she got married and had a child. She never caused a scandal. How cute are they?!

Even with her divorce being in the media, she made a graceful re-entry into the music scene. Her new album “Breathe In. Breathe Out.” was released this June and has been quite successful.

She stars in the series "Younger," which premiered in March 2015. "Younger" is about a single mother who decides to make some changes in her life after someone guesses she is younger than she actually is.

You can stay up to date on everything she’s doing by checking her website. So Hilary, thanks for everything.

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.
