I am sure all 90's kids can agree with me when I say Disney Channel original movies these days are not even close to as amazing as they once were when we were younger. Sure, Disney brings back "Halloweentown" and all of its sequels every October and they show movies like "High School Musical" (and it's sequels) again every once in a blue moon, but it is about time that they brought back more of the originals. Kids these days have no idea what they are missing. So, Disney, I think it's time for a throwback showing off all the greats. If you need help deciding on which movies to use I have made a list of the best below.

1. "Pixel Perfect"

Using technology designed by his father, Roscoe creates a holographic lead singer that is "perfect" for his friend Samantha’s band. But then things start to go awry.

Natasha, Brittany's best friend convinces Brittany that it would be fun to mess with Jordan and change his image, so they start using his phone to their advantage.

6. "Eddie's Million Dollar Cook Off"

Eddie loves baseball. His dad is even the coach and his best friends are his teammates. But will he "strike out" with them if he trades his glove for an oven mitt?

7. "Gotta Kick It Up!"

With no one to coach the school dance team, new teacher Ms. Bartlett agrees to take over and help whip this group of misfits into winners. Si Se Puede!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
