How Disney Channel Movies Gave Me Unreal Expectations

We all love our Disney Channel Original Movies, but they really weren't that great with comparison to real life.

Okay, let’s be honest. We all know you clicked on this just so you could see if it was another bashing of Cinderella or Snow White. Well sorry, but this one is aimed more at Disney Channel Movies than Disney Movies.

Let's just start out that with boys! In real life American high schools, there are no Zac Efron's, Luca Till’s, Ross Lynch's, Corbin Bleu's, Jonas Brothers, or Sprouse twins. I’m not talking about just looks here either I’m talking about how they for they treated girls! They were so nice and funny and not awkward ( for the most part) also, chivalry was not dead in Disney Channel movies! Not to mention that when they did inevitably screw it up, they always managed to make it better by serenade and an apologize. Also, I never got to go tour a new city with a famous boy who managed to avoid the paparazzi with some shades and a hat….


There was a lack of singing and choreographed dance when I was in high school. I think that was partly because my high school choir teacher didn't like show choir... But when my team was trying to get pumped for practice we never go to have a cool dance routine...we got to run.. in circles...that's about as synchronized as we got. Also when I was trying to make a super hard decision, I was not able to roam the halls and sing while dramatically leaning against the lockers. There were also no cool places where the “cool kids” sat. There was no ramp that a blessed “geek” was invited to because in my high school the “cool kids” were also the “geeks.”

Disney Channel Movies taught us a lot I will agree to that, like the fact the Lizzie Mcguire's animated alter ego was basically the first bitmoji. To not judge a book by its cover because the shy girl just might the biggest radio DJ in town. I mean really who would have thunk it huh?

Or that the perfect, popular girl is not really superficial and falls for the nerdy boy. But please get serious with me for a second, Disney ruined my idea of a relationship for a while. I thought that I was supposed to find my “one” *gag* in High School! I mean I know that they never directly mention it but it's very subtle with how the boy always gets the girl. It literally happens every time, don't believe me?

Let's see…

Troy and Gabriella - High School Musical

Christopher and Jessica - Star Struck

Josh and Dylan - Geek Charming

Gavin and Tara - Radio Rebel

The list goes on... but I think you get my point.

Yes!! I love my Disney Channel Movies like any other girl I just thought I would say what we have all been thinking for a while. I also would like to add I never go my own musical number... but it's fine...

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.
