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.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
