10 Movies From Your Childhood That Were Released 10 Years Ago
Boing Boing

I think we all can admit that the 2000s were a simpler time. Smart phones had barely hit the scene, we were too young to understand or care about politics, and the Disney Channel was in it's prime. A decade ago, the year 2007 (not 3000) graced us with great cinematic genius and variety. So in the name of childhood nostalgia, here are 10 movies that were released 10 years ago.

1. Meet the Robinsons

With a soundtrack featuring The Jonas Brothers, it doesn't get more iconic than this. There was so much going on in this movie, but it all came together so well and definitely kept the attention of kids and adults alike.

2. Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

If someone had asked 9-year-old me what one place I'd most want to go is, this would be the answer. Magical, mystical, enchanting, Mr. Magorium and his Wonder Emporium were everything a kid could wish for.

3. August Rush

When it came out you know you either identified with August and the other kids or at least really felt for them. This is one of those movies that is timeless: it's always relevant and speaks to people of all ages. Watching it now makes me so emotional. A heart-wrenching classic.

4. Alvin and the Chipmunks

Uncle Ian. Toaster waffles. Hula hoops. Funky Town. Parents probably got tired of this movie after the first time watching, but I remember asking to see it time and time again. We even got an Alvin and the Chipmunks Wii game!

*Fun fact you may not know: Matthew Gray Gubler aka Dr. Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds was the voice actor for Simon.*

5. Ratatouille

What was Disney thinking with this? The only explanation is it was 2007. On another note, how many of us reallllllly wanted to taste Ratatouille before realizing it was just a vegetable dish?

6. Bridge to Terabithia

This movie marked an emotional turning point in my life. It was after this movie I realized several actors play the same character at different ages, and I distinctly remember crying in the movie theater because I thought the actor died when the character did. My mom had to assure me AnnaSophia Robb did not die when Leslie did. (I don't think that made me any less sad, though.)

7. Nancy Drew

I don't know if this resonates with a lot of people my age, but I know Nancy Drew has a special place in my heart. As a fellow lover of old-fashioned things and problem solving, Nancy was always an icon for me. Max Theriot as Ned was definitely one of my first celebrity crushes.

8. The Game Plan

Remember when The Rock still had hair?

9. Enchanted

This was especially enlightening to watch as an 8-year-old. It brought the Disney princesses we grew up with to life and made magic reality.

10. Bee Movie

How can one compile a list of 2007 movies without this icon? Bee Movie has become a huge meme, but was once a quality (okay, maybe not) movie we all enjoyed.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
