We all had our favorite shows growing up. Whether we watched PBS, Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, or Cartoon Network, we had shows we could always count on watching. They would inspire us, give us future goals, show us how to be real, or just teach us useful life lessons. Funny thing is, even when we stop watching them, we can see a clip from the show or hear the theme song and get immersed in the memories. Allow me to start the memories.

1. Arthur

This was one of my favorite shows to come home and watch when I was still in elementary school! It came on right as I was getting home and I immediately turned right to PBS. Of course, now it's making a return thanks to all the Arthur memes, but it still brings back a ton of great memories. I grew up with Arthur, DW, Buster, and the rest of the gang!

2. Cyberchase

Little did I know that this entire show was basically teaching me math the entire time I was watching it. But, it made math cool and worth learning! Each of the episodes was followed by a real-life example of real people using math and I was just really interested by it. The fact that they were flying around in space didn't hurt!

3. Dragon Tales

I can still say the rhyme with Emmy and Max most of the time - "I wish, I wish, with all my heart to fly with dragons in a land apart!" Man did I wish I could find a dragon scale that would let me fly with dragons. If you're wanting to relive this childhood show (or wanting to see it for the first time) it's actually on Netflix!

4. Winx Club

This was quite possibly my favorite show when I was ending elementary school and starting middle school. My sisters and I would get up early every morning (before I realized just how great sleeping in actually is) and we'd watch this on 4Kids! As the show progressed, it got less interesting, but I still adored this show for a long time.

5. Hannah Montana

Disney Channel was quite possibly where my childhood lived for a really long time. Hannah Montana was one of those shows my sisters and I would watch all the time - to the point my dad would notice if an episode had been on rerun frequently. I think I was entranced by the idea of being a celebrity and being normal all at the same time - wouldn't it be cool?

6. That's So Raven

This was one of the best shows I could've watched growing up. It actually tackled real-life issues that are still coming up in the news. Not to mention she promoted positive body image, which was great as I was growing up. Not to mention she could see the future - who wouldn't want to have that power?

7. The Suite Life of Zack and Cody

It's funny, I don't always think about this show but when I see clips of it come across my Facebook feed I can't help but smile. It was always on, I wanted to live in a hotel like them, and I liked trying to say Esteban's full name really fast. I'm telling you, most of my childhood was found in Disney Channel!


8: Totally Spies

This was such a fun show to watch, probably because I really liked Kim Possible too. Plus since it was me and my two sisters, we were always trying to decide which girl was which. I really wanted the gadgets they always got, plus it just sounded fun to be a spy and be a normal high school student. (I had a hard enough time just being a high school student to be honest.) This is on Netflix, in case you're hoping to relive your childhood again.

9. Kim Possible

I absolutely adore this show. I haven't stopped and I don't think I will. I high-key still want to be her when I grow up, which is looking less and less likely but a girl can dream. Kim Possible was super empowering too because this was one of the few superhero shows where the main character was a kick butt girl.

10. Avatar: The Last Airbender

I could recite this theme song from memory for a while. I knew for a fact I was a waterbender, from the water tribe, and that my sisters were either a firebender or an earthbender. I adored watching this show, even if I discovered it late. This was a show my whole family enjoyed watching together and we actually owned the DVD's for, that's how big it was.


11. Full House

This is one of my favorite shows to sit and watch even now! I was super excited when I heard that they were bringing back original cast members for "Fuller House" and I've loved watching late night reruns of the original while I've been trying to sleep. I related so much to DJ Tanner. Netflix, if you're reading this, you need to add this series.

12. Teen Titans

This is another show my sisters and I watched together all the time. We loved this superhero show so much. It's basically the precursor to my love of Marvel movies (ironic, isn't it?). This was another show where my sisters and I were constantly trying to pick who was who, it was a lot of fun. They need to bring the original show back - the new one is painful to watch.

13. Wizards of Waverly Place

I loved magic and I loved this show. Again, I seemed to like shows where you were one way and also had a secret life, because that's essentially what this one was. Disney Channel really had my family hooked on this one too - this was another show my dad could recognize reruns for on a regular basis. Though the show itself isn't on Netflix, the full length movie is!


There are so many more shows that I could point out and bring back to your memory. What are some of your favorites? Comment below, share the video, and share the memories with us!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
