Disney Channel was my favorite as a kid, and it’s no exaggeration to say that the late 90s to early 2000s were when the network was in it’s prime. Being responsible for shows like the "Even Stevens," "Lizzie McGuire," "Phil of the Future," and more, we lucked out in the department of classic childhood entertainment. But recently, I heard that one of my favorites was coming back.

"That’s so Raven" was released in 2003, and ran with 4 seasons, ending in 2007. I remember learning so many lessons from this family and the things that they did. To my knowledge, it was the first Disney Channel sitcom starring a black family, but any kid could look up to these hilarious, loving, and honest characters.

I went to watch it on Xfinity recently, only to realize that I’d seen every single episode at least 5 times. But now that I am (only legally, let’s be real) an adult, I’m excited to see the show is coming back.

Nicknamed “That’s so Raven 2,” (name hasn’t been decided) the yet-to-be-released spin off features Raven Baxter (still played by Raven Symone) as a single mom of two kids, the oldest of which learns that she is also a psychic.

This sounds like a great idea for a sequel, and I hope that with Raven back on set, they are able to do it justice, but for now, I’d rather reminisce. Here are my top 5 favorite episodes of "That’s so Raven."

5. “Hook up my space”: Cory surprises Raven with a free room makeover, and she’s nothing but excited, until she finds out he gets to design it. She continuously spies on him and tries to convince him to design it how she wants. He turns out doing more than that, and this episode was cute to me because we see how siblings are, and I relate to the love/prank relationship that comes with siblings.

4.”Driven to insanity”: Raven gets asked out by an older boy who offers to drive her to dinner, and lies to her parents to go. During the date she finds out that he is super immature and gross, and begs her parents to take her home. This made me think about honesty toward my mom and who I tell her I’m with at that age.

3. “Five Finger Discount”: Raven has a vision of Cory’s new friends pressuring him into stealing at the mall. She tries to intervene, convincing him to return whatever he took. This is an obvious lesson, but was a good one to see on TV.

2. “That’s so not Raven”: In this episode, Raven gets a design put in a fashion show, but her pictures get photoshopped to make her look slimmer. She confronts the company, and teaches her audience about the importance of body positivity.

1. “True Colors”: This episode was a monumental moment for Disney. While parents Victor and Tanya are trying to teach Cory about Black history for a school project, Raven goes undercover to expose a manager at a clothing store who refused to hire her because she was black. This is a super simple plot, but for the only show on the network that focused on black characters, this episode was important to teach the audience about equality, racial pride, and to give kids everywhere, along with myself, a positive role model of sorts.

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.
