Like so many other high school seniors, my entire year got cut in a way I couldn't have ever imagined. My opportunity to compete for the last time at the State Speech and Debate Tournament was gone, and I was in a dark place because of it. Graduation was not likely to happen, and that hurt the most. As a daughter of immigrants and being valedictorian, this was going to be the one moment I had to make my parents proud.
Thankfully, my school had recently built a dome, and the school board had decided for us to have an extremely limited graduation. In a way, I got a slightly normal graduation. All 57 of my classmates were present with their parents, and our teachers were there. And although I was very glad to be getting a ceremony, it was strangely underwhelming. That night I was home, and said "So that's it?" It was. The past 14 years had been crazy, and yet, I wanted to relieve it in some way.
That's when my mind went straight to my Roku device and the Disney+ app. I started re-watching every show and movie I adored when I was younger, and here are some of my favorites.
Jessie
I had forgotten how much I loved this show. It's just a group of rich kids, a nanny, a butler, and a very large lizard in the Big Apple.
The Suite Life of Zack and Cody
GiphyDo kids actually live in a hotel? Who knows. I do know, though, that I would watch this at my grandma's house all of the time.
Hannah Montana
GiphyThe best show and movie to ever air on Disney. It really made me think back to my 'Hannah Montana' bed comforter and curtains.
High School Musical
GiphyIt's a known fact you can't go wrong with this trilogy. Plus, 'High School Musical 3' hits different when you just graduated.
Even though my childhood is officially over and I'm on to bigger and better things, I can always relive the good ole days with some of my favorite shows.
