I Rewatched 'Zoey 101' For The First Time In A Long Time And Here's What I Thought

It was full of nostalgia.

Zoey 101 was recently put on VRV (a streaming service that has started putting on old cartoons and TV shows) and I couldn't help myself but binge-watch it.

I'm currently on the last episode of season two and all I can say is I still love this show. Not only do I love it because of nostalgia, but also because you can see how much we have changed since the early 2000s. The show holds up really well. Not only is the video quality not that bad, but some of the stuff is still very relatable.

For one, Chase has a crush on Zoey, but not wanting to tell her because it might ruin their friendship is still relevant. Some people still struggle with either telling people they like them in general or having a crush on one of your friends and not wanting to tell them because it could be detrimental to their friendship.


It also relates to college in a way, even though they aren't in college, they still live in dorms, eat campus food, have RAs, and bond really closely with the people they live with. Them living in dorms and with people that they have never met before is very relatable. Whether you like them or not you do have to put up with them. For example in the first season when Zoey and Nicole lived with Daina they didn't like her that much; especially Nicole. Nicole and Daina would get in fights, whether it was because Nicole woke Daina up by blow drying her hair or when Nicole got mad at Daina for not picking up after herself. When you live that close to someone you're bound to get in fights and hopefully as the year, or season in their case, goes on you will bond with them and get closer to them.

Another reason why I like rewatching Zoey 101 is you can appreciate the sly jokes that could be seen as inappropriate. The joke that I just noticed was when Chase takes Zoey's tech mate and Chase yells to Michael "I have a little problem" and points to his pocket. Now obviously he means that his problem is the fact that he still had Zoey's tech mate, however, it could also be a sly dirty joke and be him talking about having a boner... Either that or I just have a dirty mind. No matter what the show still makes me laugh.

I think everyone should rewatch their favorite shows. Whether it's Zoey 101 (which it should be) or any other show; the nostalgia is worth it. Reliving your childhood is something pretty much everyone loves to do so why not do it with tv shows. For me rewatching Zoey 101 reminds me of coming home after school and turning on Zoey 101.

Now I just need to rewatch Drake and Josh and Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
