Throwback To Disney Channel's Finest

It's 8 PM on a Friday night in the year 2007 and you can find me on the couch ready for a Disney Channel movie.

Throwback To Disney Channel's Finest

Do you remember how excited you used to get every weeknight at 8pm when the “I’m _____, and you’re watching Disney Channel,” commercial played? I’d have to beg my mom to be able to watch the whole movie, because it usually finished around 10 and my bedtime was at 9. When you saw the screen go blue and teenagers started doing jumps out of the film roll, you automatically knew that this was prefacing a Disney Channel original movie. So now, here I am, attesting to the fact that yes, I am 20 years old, and Disney Channel movies are still some of my favorites.

1. "Halloweentown"

With fall upon us and Halloween right around the corner, my first movie shout out has to go to the "Halloweentown" series. I am shamelessly confessing that a perfect October night consists of chocolate chip cookies, hot chocolate, and watching Marnie make her way to the top!


2. "Cowbelles"

Next on the coveted list is "Cowbelles". Do you remember your heart beating so fast when the towel caught on fire? Or what about crushing on the cute farmer boy that fell in love with Courtney Callum?


3. "Life-size"

This movie goes down in history. Tyra Banks and Lindsay Lohan were such a cohesive pair. And let’s not forget that ending scene when they sing “Shine bright, shine far.” Ugh, the feels.


4. "Cadet Kelly"

We all know that Hillary Duff was the queen of Disney Channel back in the day. I know she’s usually associated with Lizzie Mcguire, but Kelly’s persona in this movie is just as good. I remember actually feeling proud of Kelly after she completely changed her attitude about military school by the end of the movie.


5. "Cheetah Girls"

Confession time: you know there have been several road trips where you listen to the Cheetah Girls soundtrack with your friends and sing it at the top of your lungs. You’ve also considered being the Cheetah girls for Halloween because they’re that monumental.


6. Zenon

After watching this movie, you a. wanted to go to space b. wanted their cool outfits and c. wanted to eat lunch in that futuristic lunchroom that made your school lunchroom seem even lamer than it already was.


7. "Holes"

I wish I could pinpoint what it is about this movie that makes it such a classic. Whether it’s the legends throughout the whole movie, or the fact that you start resonating with the characters, there’s something special about this one.


8. "Luck of the Irish"

Oldie but goodie! Lets not forget when Kyle Johnson finds out he has a 200 year old grandpa, or when he finds out that he’s half a leprechaun due to this magic coin that has been stolen by the evil leprechaun. Casual.


9. "The Even Stevens Movie"

One of Disney’s most loved families, the Stevens! This crazy family was everything but ordinary, which is one of the reasons why they kept us laughing the whole time.


10. "Pixel Perfect"

Never forgotten! Not only was it an entertaining movie, it also touched the subject on inner beauty, rather than just the outer beauty.


11. "Stuck in the Suburbs"

We’re yall just as in love with Jordan Cahill as I was? He made living in the suburbs look dreamy—not to mention he was musically talented.


12. Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior

It’s obvious that Brenda Song was a power house when it came to Disney movies. Wendy Wu showed us that being a badass could be done in style; that fight scene at the end was quite impressive.


13. High School Musical

Last, but certainly not least, HSM. These characters made it on binders and school supplies, ya’ll. That’s when you know its monumental.

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.
