Keyword Suggestions

Disney Channel has been well known and well received over the many years it's dominated children's television. It's put out well loved characters, shows, and movies. Recently, over the memorial day weekend this past summer, Disney Channel released their 100th Disney Channel Original Movie (DCOM). In honor of this milestone, I found it pertinent to revisit the best DCOMs that've come out.

1. High School Musical

As probably the most loved and well known DCOM, you just can't leave High School Musical off a list like this.

2. High School Musical 2

High School Musical 2 holds up easily to its predecessor, and nothing beats the Gotta Go My Own Way scene.

3. High School Musical 3: Senior Year

It may not hold up to the previous two, but Senior Year still holds up to other DCOMs. And everyone can relate to Troy's stress levels in this one.

4. Halloweentown

It's October witches! Embrace the true glory of the Halloweentown series.

5. Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge

Another sequel that stands with it's original, Kalabar's Revenge definitely rocks.

6. Halloweentown High

To round out the Halloween season, here's just another one of the Halloweentown movies that is necessary for watching.

7. Starstruck

In my opinion, Starstruck is probably the best DCOM they've come out with so far. The plot is just killer, it's obviously perfect cheesiness of Disney Channel movies, and the music is really pretty good.

8. Kim Possible Movie: So The Drama

This movie is hilarious. Kills it in the humor department, in typical Kim Possible fashion.

9. Phineas and Ferb The Movie: Across The 2nd Dimension

Everything Phineas and Ferb is great, don't fight me.

10. Wizards of Waverly Place: The Movie

The Wizards of Waverly Place movie is so great, and with all the family themes and the climax, it kills you just enough with the emotions.

11. Lemonade Mouth

Awesome music, respectable messages, adorable kitten, and fun fact: Blake Michael was only 14 in this, which is just crazy to think about, as he certainly doesn't seem it.

12. Camp Rock

I know, this one was pushing it on the cheesiness and clichés. But it has the Jonas Brothers and some pretty rocking music, and it was really easy to hate Tess.

13. Princess Protection Program

Selena and Demi work great together, and twists on princess movies are almost always likeable.

14. The Suite Life Movie

The Sprouse twins, killing it then and still killing it now.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
