The Time I Live-Tweeted The Cheetah Girls

A night of nostalgia.

The Time I Live-Tweeted The Cheetah Girls

The other night, I was perpetually bored and home alone so I decided to do what any other sane, 18-year-old girl would do - I watched the classic Disney Channel Original Movie The Cheetah Girls. After singing my heart out to the opening musical number, "Together we Can," I began to realized so many things about the cinematographic masterpiece. I needed to share these thoughts and feelings somehow, so I thought the best way to do it was to my three followers on Twitter.

It all started with the biggest realization of them all...

...and...

The names of the characters truly shocked me, since I never realized how crazy they were until twelve years after the initial debut. Just so you remember: Raven's name was Galleria/Bubbles, Adrienne Bailon was Chanel/Chichi, Sabrina Bryan was Dorinda/Doe, and the ever so irrelevant Kiely Williams as Aqua. Which brings me to my next tweet:

The remaining hour an a half was filled with an equal balance of nostalgia and skepticism about the popularity of the film series. Although the songs had their natural, catchy, upbeat nature, the plot of the movie was absolutely ridiculous.

The revelation to 18-year-old me that Raven not the hero, rather the villain of the story:

Remembering the tragedy that was "All Around the World" by Jackle Johnson, where they all wore masks:

During one of their dance scenes I noticed this bad boy:

And finally seeing Raven in that pink jumpsuit and knowing that the end was very near:

After the movie ended, I became a little sentimental...

...and it got real deep real fast:

I began to remember the legends of my childhood:

And even began to remember my then taste for men...

...and what I used to do with every issue of TeenBop...

and what my sister (who I then shared a room with) would do to her side:

After that was over, I went to sleep with both a regret and an appreciation for what I had just done. I regretted watching it, as my memory of the movie I once loved so much is now tainted forever. However, I appreciated watching it, as I realized I still knew every single word to every single song and it still is one of my favorite movies of all time.

I suggest you all go watch the movies of your childhood and have the best time ever making fun of Kenny Ortega's choreographies.

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.
