With the one-hundredth Disney Channel Original Movie (DCOM) coming out soon, Disney Channel is reliving all of our childhoods with a non-stop marathon of the movies we love. I don't know about anybody else but I made sure I had plenty of room on my DVR that way the movies I grew up watching never leave my TV. This list may be more of my personal opinion, but here are 10 of the DCOMs that every kid needs to watch, and every "adult" still loves.

1. Motocrossed

This movie is the ultimate girl-power movie as the Andrea Carson aka Andy cuts her hair and rides with the guys pretending to be her older brother. Fooling everybody, including the cutest boy of the 2000s, she dominated a male sport and made us all want a dirt-bike for our birthday.

2. Double Teamed

Double the tall, double the stars, and double the awesome. We can't forget this basketball packed true story of Heather and Heidi Burge as they dominate high school basketball and make their way to the WNBA.

3. The Thirteenth Year

Don't lie this coming of age movie gave you hope that on your thirteenth birthday you would start developing gills, scales, and a fish tale and then discover that your mom was actually a mermaid. Or maybe that was just me...

4. Right on Track

The fast and furious story of the Ender sisters who take the drag racing world by storm. This again made us little girls want to strap on a helmet and get riding. I don't know about you but I always wanted Courtney Ender's pretty pink car.

5. Twitches

Tia and Tamera Mowry discover they are long lost twins who came from a magical other dimension called Coventree. Did I mention they have magical powers and have to defeat their new found uncle from destroying the planet? Still cool though. Don't forget that this DCOM also had a sequel, Twitches Too.

6. Halloweentown

Everybody's Halloween favorites that kept us entranced through five movies about ghouls and goblins that reminded us that being a human is not all that great. Every time I dressed as a witch I always modeled myself after Marney Cromwell. You also secretly hoped that your grandmothers bag contained as many goodies as Aggie's did.

7. Cadet Kelly

One of the many movies that made us fall in love with Hilary Duff. It also made us all lucky that we didn't get shipped off to a military academy, even though we were jealous of her awesome step routine with the streamers at the end of the movie. PSA: Pretty sure this is on Netflix!

8. Stuck in the Suburbs

Danielle Panabaker and Brenda Song are the best friends who change the image of an incredibly hot pop star. This movie made you jealous that a pop stars phone didn't get mixed up with yours. This struck the musical bone in all of us as we attempted to write our own lyrics as a chance to get us noticed by a famous rock star passing through our small towns

9. Smart House

Ahh the movie that made us dream of the technology of the future and pray that our parents would all the sudden be rich enough to afford a house that could make you any type of dessert you could ever want. Besides for the computer mother becoming creepily real at the end of the movie this DCOM is a must see, and must remember.

10. Johnny Tsunami

The tale of the young surfer who moves to Vermont and then rips at snowboarding. The beginning of this movie made all of us wish we lived in Hawaii. Also lets not forget the sequel that introduced to us the young and adorable Jake T. Austin who moved on to steal our hearts on Wizards of Waverly Place.

With 100 DCOMs these 10 only scratch the surface of all the great movies that we grew up watching and the movies we still have a deep love for. So while you are trying to decide what to do with your summer vacation, tune in to DIsney Channel and catch up on the movies you didn't realize you missed!

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.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
