I remember buying my first ever "Lizzie McGuire" chapter book
at my fourth grade book fair and absolutely hating it because I had already
seen that episode on TV. The book may have been a waste of my time, but the show was my favorite.
We all have a little Lizzie McGuire inside us; she's awkward, quirky and down-to-earth. Honestly, there are far more than 14 times she was the best, but it's a start, right?
1. Her family might have annoyed her, but she loved them at the
end of the day. How could you not love Sam, Jo and Matt?

2. Lizzie showed America that rhythmic gymnastics is a boss sport, especially, when she improvised when Larry worked for Kate and sabotaged
her routine.

3. She was as terrible at gym class as we were. It inspired us to embrace our unatheletic and lanky preadolescent bodies. She even despised her teacher, Coach
Kelly, as we all despised our P.E. teachers.

4. I have had dreams of red kick balls falling from the sky and
me laughing with my friends and family. I hope everyone else had that dream, too.

5. Lizzie taught us what the friendzone was. Although I
wish with all my heart that she married Gordo, it taught me a valuable lesson
in the fifth grade.

6. Lizzie McGuire was not afraid to be herself. Those eccentric
hairstyles were great and mixing patterns worked for her.

7. Kate could not touch Lizzie. Kate might have tried to bully
Lizzie, but Lizzie was so strong and stood up to Kate. Kate was just jealous
that Lizzie had cooler hair than her.

8. I honestly wanted Lizzie’s unicorn sweater that she was embarrassed
to wear to picture day. I wish her grandma would knit that for me.

9. Ethan Craft, Aaron Carter and Danny Kessler – Lizzie had some
cute love interests in the show. She was straight up in Aaron Carter’s music
video.

10. Cartoon Lizzie was the sassiest little thing ever. She was
as awkward as Lizzie but had a hot head when Kate was being mean.

11. Seriously, you could dress Lizzie up for school. Personally I
would dress her for school, a party, hanging out with Miranda and a formal. Computerized
Lizzie had a very busy schedule! And then you could dress Miranda (who is a
completely underrated character).

12. You could also give Miranda a manicure, which was amazing!
She had the coolest nail designs. I did not like that she could have creepy, long
fingernails, though. That was just weird.

13. Lizzie was played by Hilary Duff, and we all have to admit
that she is obviously the best Disney star ever! Do not pretend like you never reenacted “Come
Clean” when it was raining outside. I will confess, even as
a junior in college, I still do this. Anyone else?

14. Do not even get me started on "The Lizzie McGuire Movie," which was perfection!

God bless Disney Channel for continuing to show Lizzie
McGuire late at nights! I actually watched it last week when I was up late
studying and should have been studying.
