Disney Plus Has Me "StarStruck" All Over Again

Everyone was so ready for Disney plus and so was I. I have missed being able to watch all the classics like The Little Mermaid, The Fox and the Hound, and Lady and the Tramp. And honestly, I completely forgot about The Country Bears, and I was so excited when I saw it on the app.

Now, let's talk about the Disney Channel originals. I was super excited about all the High School Musicals, the Cheetah Girls, and both of the Camp Rocks. What I had kind of forgotten about was StarStruck, Motocrossed, and Geek Charming.

StarStruck is, in my opinion, one of the best Disney Channel original movies. Its plot was of course the typical boy meets girl and falls in love, but it had a different spin to it.

Sterling Knight, a.k.a. Christopher Wilde, was a giant childhood crush for me. And I definitely wanted to be Danielle Campbell who played Jessica Olsen.

Watching StarStruck, when it first came out, I vividly remember thinking "wow, I wish a guy would sing to me like Christopher Wilde is singing to Jessica." Haha. And who am I kidding? If a guy sang to me like that right now, I would probably fall in love with him on the spot. Just kidding. Well, kind of.

There was also Motocrossed. It was a hit at my house because I have two brothers, one of which raced dirtbikes, so of course, he liked that one. Motocrossed, if you don't remember, is about a Andi and her family. Her brother raced but injures his leg and can't ride anymore.

Andi comes in and races for her brother, but has to hide it from her father and everyone else. Of course there are tons of cute boys at the track, so it was hard to stay on track and not reveal herself. There always has to be that one guy though.

After some tough competition, Andi wins the big race, only to be outed by a fellow racer who says Andi shouldn't be allowed to compete because she is a girl. Jokes on him though. A sponsorship company is inspired by her, because she rose to the top in a man's world. It's such a girl power movie. Plus she got the guy she liked in the end too.

Another childhood favorite of mine was Geek Charming. The popular girl meets geek boy and voila, the perfect Disney Channel movie.

When Josh, the geek, begins his film project and picks Dylan, the most popular girl in school, as his film subject, I think every girl watching set her standards too high. We all wanted a movie to be made about us, and to fall in love with the movie maker as it was being filmed.

It never failed that Disney gave us another relationship to pine after. That's okay though. We loved it, and I'm so glad Disney Plus gave us all these originals back!!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
