5 Lessons We Learned From Watching Lizzie McGurie

When I was little, I watched a lot of Disney Channel shows. But in my humble opinion, none of them measured up to Lizzie McGuire. I was (and still am) a big fan of the show's star Hillary Duff. I had posters of her and all the merchandise you could possibly have to do with the show: From a night gown (which I wore during both of my major surgeries), to a VHS of the seasons that had already aired. One day, I remember telling my mom that I wanted to write a letter to Hillary. So my mom and I took to the computer and Googled her agent's address. We sat down and I wrote a letter telling her how big a fan I was of hers, and we sent it. I waited and waited but no answer came. No worries, I still remained a loyal fan; Even when she switched to music. I, of course, had to have every CD she ever made (this hasn't changed, for those of you that are unaware, she has recently made a comeback and I couldn't be more excited). Now that you know my history with Hillary, here are 5 lessons I learned from watching Lizzie McGuire.

1. Family is important.

The show did an awesome job of having a family that fought but always made up at the end. I think it showed me that eve though we fight with our families, it's important to know that they are always there for us.

2. True friends will support you.

In the very first episode, Lizzie tries out for cheerleading. Even though they were skeptical, they supported her.

3. Your feelings will confuse you. Lizzie was honest about the world's most confusing subject: boys.

4. Wear whatever you want to. You'll rock it.

She taught us to own our fashion statements. No matter what they are.

5. Finally, she taught us to follow our dreams.

In the Movie's hit song, "Why Not?" we learn what it's like to live your dreams, and we learn why we should never give up.

Thank you, Hilary, for growing up with me in all different kinds of ways.

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.
