I am sure all 90's kids can agree with me when I say Disney Channel original movies these days are not even close to as amazing as they once were when we were younger. Sure, Disney brings back "Halloweentown" and all of its sequels every October and they show movies like "High School Musical" (and it's sequels) again every once in a blue moon, but it is about time that they brought back more of the originals. Kids these days have no idea what they are missing. So, Disney, I think it's time for a throwback showing off all the greats. If you need help deciding on which movies to use I have made a list of the best below.

1. "Pixel Perfect"

Using technology designed by his father, Roscoe creates a holographic lead singer that is "perfect" for his friend Samantha’s band. But then things start to go awry.

She finds excitement when her phone is switched with the phone of Jordan Cahill, the top teen pop singer who has come to her town to make a music video. Natasha, Brittany's best friend convinces Brittany that it would be fun to mess with Jordan and change his image, so they start using his phone to their advantage.

6. "Eddie's Million Dollar Cook Off"

Eddie loves baseball. His dad is even the coach and his best friends are his teammates. But will he "strike out" with them if he trades his glove for an oven mitt?

7. "Gotta Kick It Up!"

With no one to coach the school dance team, new teacher Ms. Bartlett agrees to take over and help whip this group of misfits into winners. Si Se Puede!

8. "Twitches" (and "Twitches Too")

Magical twin sisters are separated at birth by their protectors, Karsh and Ileana, when the Darkness attacks their homeland of Coventry and kills the twins' father through a war that is going on.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
