10 Disney Channel Movies That Were So Bad, They Were Good

1. "Camp Rock"

At 14 years old, I loved "Camp Rock." And 21-year-old me stills loves Camp Rock, except now, I realize just how terrible the movie actually was. It's Disney's version of the cliche summer love, with a whole lot more music. Tweens on couches everywhere were fangirling over the Jo Bros, allowing their oh-so-good-looks to cover up their absolutely horrid acting. Connect 3 sounds more like a cheap kids' game rather than the name of a popular band.


2. "High School Musical"

HSM portrayed unrealistic views of what high school was like... I mean, my school didn't even have a talent show. The entire movie was essentially just Zac and Vanessa singing about their emotions and feelings. There's so much singing it makes your head hurt. No matter what, you have to admit it's hard not to sing to every song, especially "We're All In This Together."


3. "Get a Clue"

Innocent Lindsay Lohan was one of my favorite actors. Her acting, before she went off the tracks, was pure gold, just watch the "Parent Trap" or "Freaky Friday." This movie is probably the closest movie to a mystery we will ever get from Disney. Almost everything about the movie was bad. The outfits were horrible, the acting was definitely not the best, and just the overall story was less than OK, but it had Lindsay Lohan starring in it, which makes it totally worth it.


4. "Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century"

If you don't remember Zenon, the 13-year-old girl who lives in space, did you even watch Disney Channel movies? Everything about this movie is brilliantly horrible. From their bright spandex outfits to the space slang, this movie is perfect for this list. Zetus Lupetus, I can't forget "Supernova Girl," the horrendous song that I admittedly still know some lyrics to.


5. "Hannah Montana: The Movie"

Chances are if you watched the "Hannah Montana" TV series you've probably seen the movie. It had all the same characters, plus a few new ones, and the movie was basically just an extension of the show. This is just another one of Disney's coming-of-age stories (because we obviously don't have enough) in which Hannah is shipped off to her family farm to learn a lesson. I honestly enjoyed watching the series but I definitely could have gone without this movie.


6. "Return to Halloweentown"

"Halloweentown" will always be my favorite DCOM of all time. The first one was a classic, the second and third one were OK, but the fourth one was horrible. They've already saved Halloweentown three times, why did they have to add another problem. I also never understood why they switched actors who played Marnie, because Sara Paxton was a horrible Marnie. It's so hard to hate this movie though because it is a part of the "Halloweentown" series.


7. "Princess Protection Program"

Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez made this movie better than what it should've been. The acting wasn't the best and the story line was less than average, but it's always hard to hate a princess movie. It was a good movie in the sense that it showed young girls everywhere that no matter who you are, you can always be a princess.


8. "Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior"

How can you not root for the popular homecoming queen, who fights an ancient evil with some hardcore karate black belt moves? Yeah, that's a mouthful. The acting is mediocre, and sadly Brenda Song should've just stayed with "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody."


9. "Cow Belles"

Does anyone remember the show the "Simple Life" with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie? This movie is basically the Disney Channel version of it. Ally and AJ Michalka showed so much potential but this movie did not. No one likes watching spoiled, snobby girls actually having to work for once. The end of the movie got better, but only after the sisters realized materialistic things weren't everything.


10. "The Lizzie McGuire Movie"

"The Lizzie McGuire Movie" is one of my favorite DCOMs despite the horrible accents and bad acting. The actual movie wasn't that bad, just most of the story line didn't make sense. First of all, what middle school takes their students to a foreign country?! I was lucky enough to go to the park when I was in eighth grade. Oh, and you can't forget the last song where Lizzie basically has a duet with herself, the Italian Lizzie with the horrible accent (no offense Hilary Duff, love you).

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
