Because Shia deserves more credit.

The Cast Of "Even Stevens" Then And Now

It's the Disney Channel Original Series we all know and love. Shia LaBeouf starred as Louis Stevens, the ultimate prankster, in this (how was this seriously only made for) three-year series. Its plot twists upon plot twists: from surprise relationships, to intentional sabotage, to — perhaps the greatest plot twist of all — Steven Anthony Lawrence's "now picture." Who knew the bacon-loving kid next door would grow up so fast? So, without further hesitation, here is the cast "Even Stevens" then and now.

1. Shia LaBeouf as Louis Stevens

Then:

Now:

After a few of his more public mental break downs (his "Just Do It!" video — no, it wasn't Nike sponsored — and his I'm-watching-every-movie-I-ever-acted-in-but-I'm-going-to-do-it-in-a-hoodie spectacle, the inspiration), Shia's still going strong. He's an inspiration for popular memes everywhere — we're proud of you, Shia.

2. Christy Carlson Romano as Ren Stevens

Then:

Now:

Christy Carlson Romano rocked the roll of the in-charge, all-knowing older sister. Since her big break on the show from 2000-2003, she's gone on to star as Kim in "Kim Possible" — yes, she is a big deal.

3. Nick Spano as Donnie Stevens

Then:

Now:

Ah, yes — the big brother Donnie Stevens. Adorably confused for most all of his appearances on the series, we held him near and dear to our hearts. Since 2003, Spano hasn't acted much outside of this defining role, but nonetheless, he still appears to be doing well.

4. Tom Virtue as Steve Stevens

Then:

Now:

The real question for Virtue is — has he even aged? Steven Stevens — what a guy. He's kept himself under the radar since his early-2000s Disney fandom, and understandably so. He was kind of a big deal.

5. Donna Pescow as Eileen Stevens

Then:

Now:

The lovely Eileen, bold and colorful as ever. Although Millennials may know her best for her role as the assertive, and often hialrious, mother to Louis Stevens — Donna Pescow actually got her start on "Saturday Night Fever," starring alongside John Travolta in 1977. She's also stayed off the grid since the show's end, but she's proved to have aged well.

6. A.J. Trauth as Alan Twitty

Then:

Now:

Oh, Twitty. We miss you, bud. When he's not busy being Tumblr-famous (for his seamless transition into adulthood, just look at that "now" picture!), today you can find him alongside his beautiful wife, the lovely actress Leah Pipes.

7. Margo Harshman as Tawny Dean

Then:

Now:

She was the angsty, cool-girl and best friend of Louis on the show — and don't deny that, yes, we all aspired to be her (choppy hair and all). Harshman's had some successful years in show business since leaving the show. Today you can see her on episodes of "Modern Family," "NCIS," "The Big Bang Theory" and several others.

8. Steven Anthony Lawrence as Bernard "Beans" Aranguren

Then:

Now:

Yes, the one and only, the star pupil, the cream of the crop — quite literally — it's Beans. Cherished for his adorable role as the questionable neighbor next door, a friend when needed, Lawrence is known best for his role here in the 2000-2003 Disney series. A popular childhood actor, he appeared in several movies during and after the show: "The Cat in the Hat," "Kicking and Screaming," "Cheaper by the Dozen." However, since his budding start, it seems he's taken a break from the trap life, settling into this new lifestyle of luxury, fame and honorable mention for his Twitter-famous transformation. We miss you, Beans.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
