Welcome, Disney lovers.

It’s 2006. You’re 8-years-old and the clock has just struck 8 p.m. You've just put your fuzziest pjs on. You fill up a bowl of ice cream, sit on the couch and turn on the TV. A new episode of "The Suite Life of Zac and Cody" is on, and it's going to be followed with 30 minutes of "Hannah Montana."

Your naive young self has absolutely no worries, and life is good.

Flash forward to 2018. More than a decade has gone by since your favorite Disney shows first aired, and you and your now never-ending list of responsibilities have tragically realized that 2006 was simply too good to us.

You really don’t know what you have until it’s gone.

Here’s to 2006 and it’s glory days:

1. Selena Gomez – Now 25

On and off with Bieber then, on and off with Bieber now. Ah, it’s almost as if nothing has changed at all.

2. Miley Cyrus – Now 25

"Hannah Montana" was 12 years ago? *Tries to remain calm* *Definitely isn’t calm* *Feels the gray hairs coming in*

3. Demi Lovato – Now 25

Oh, Camp Rock was a decade ago? That’s fine with me. Totally not freaking out. Totally. Not.

4. Dylan and Cole Sprouse – Now 25

Is seven years too early for a "Suite Life" reunion? How about at 10 years? Asking for a friend.

5. Nick Jonas – Now 25

OK, it isn't funny anymore. Someone take me back to 2006. I think I'm in the year 3000.

6. Joe Jonas – Now 28

This is real, this is me, why are you a part of DNCE? Those are the lyrics, right?

7. Vanessa Hudgens – Now 29

Sorry Kanye, but the 8-year-old in me will always believe that the “Say Ok” music video with Zac Efron is by far the greatest music video of all time.

8. Zac Efron – Now 30

A man of that beauty is just not allowed to be that number.

9. Hilary Duff – Now 30

Lizzy McGuire is the same age as Troy Bolton? I think someone just threw my entire childhood right out the window.

10. Kevin Jonas – Now 30

It might be 2018, but we still don’t really care about him, right?

11. Jesse McCartney – Now 30

OK fine, you got me. A number doesn’t define a ~beautiful soul.~

12. Ashley Tisdale – Now 32

He said she said she’s brunette now?

13. Raven-Symoné – Now 32

OK Raven, seeing into the future was cool in 2006. Now it’s 2018, though, and we need you to take us back to the past.

Unfortunately, the reminiscing stops here. So thank you, 2006. The 8-year-old in me will always love you.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
