Disney Channel

On June 24th, 2016, Disney Channel aired "Adventures in Babysitting," a remake of the 1987 classic and the network's 100th original movie. The network has been airing made-for-TV movies since its very beginning in 1983, but eventually came to be known as DCOMs (or Disney Channel Original Movies) starting in 1997. Over the next 19 years, Disney Channel aired 100 DCOMs, including classics such as "High School Musical," "The Cheetah Girls," and "Camp Rock." To celebrate the big 100, let's take a look back at fifteen of the best DCOMs from our formative years.

15. "Quints"

"As if life at 14 isn't twisted enough!"

14. "Twitches" and "Twitches Too"

Starring Tia and Tamera Mowry as twin witches, or "twitches." Clever!

13. "Eddie's Million Dollar Cook-Off"

"Winning never tasted so good."

12. "The Ultimate Christmas Present"

The OTHER Spencer Breslin Santa movie.

11. "Smart House"

"The Cooper's house has a mind of its own."

10. "Under Wraps"

"Prepare to be spooked, creeped and humored!"

9. "The Thirteenth Year"

"Cody's not just growing up... He's growing fins!"

8. "Stuck in the Suburbs"

Featuring Taran Killam with frosted tips.

7. "Kim Possible Movie: So the Drama"

"The adventure of their lives. A movie that changes everything."

6. "The Even Stevens Movie"

"Isn't life funny when it's not happening to you?"

5. "Cadet Kelly"

"Too cool for the rules!"

4. The "Zenon" Trilogy

"She's one galactic girl who saves the day in a stellar way!"

3. The "Halloweentown" Saga

"Unlock the ultimate secret this October!"

2. "Gotta Kick it Up!"

Tulane University

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

University of Vermont

They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
