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...

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
