TV just ain't what it used to be!

I know it can't just be me who flips through the channels on the TV and thinks to myself, 'Gee, TV just isn't as good as it used to be!" Every TV show on right now shares the same basic roles, just different characters and story plots. TV just ain't what it used to be.

Why can't the parent's be funny and smart like they are in real life? Why is the older brother always the 'not so smart one' and the youngest child always the smartest? Anyways, I figured it was about time that I do a little THROWBACK to my favorite childhood TV shows. Hopefully, some of y'all can relate. Trust me, you won't find any blogging and talking dogs here.

9 TV Shows That Will Take You Back To Your Childhood


1. "That's So Raven, it's the future I can see".

Always getting her groove on, always 'seeing' the future even if it wasn't accurate, and always, always, always having a good time. Her family and friends mattered the most to her.

2. Kim Possible.

"Call me, beep me, if you wanna reach me. Doesn't matter where, it doesn't matter when, I will be there for you till the very end." Crime fighting, power punching, taco eating superhero! Don't tell me you didn't want to be Kim Possible... maybe you wanted to be Sheila or Dr. Draco — either or, this show rocked!

3. Phil of the Future.

Did you ever want to know what it was like to meet someone from the future? Well, now's your chance to see what the future holds and the cool gizmos that come with it. All you gotta do is be Phil's best friend. Maybe he will even take you with him on his next vacation.

4. Hannah Montana.

"You get the limo out front, *ooh ah ooh* hottest styles every shoe, every color. Yeah when you're famous it can be kinda fun, it's really you but no one ever discovers." Hannah Montana, before she became Miley Cyrus. Kids these days will never understand Rico and his brilliant plans, they will never have a reason to remember what a mullet is, and they will never know the cheese jerky song.

5. Wizards of Waverly Place.

This show will forever have me singing a song whenever I hear the name, "Kiera Knightley" or whenever I see a funky hat... oh no... here it comes... "What's that, a hat, crazy funky junky hat. Overslept, hair unslightly, trying to act like Kiera Knightley. We've been there, we've done that, we see right through your funky hat."

6. Jonas.

The time we all had crushes on all three of the Jonas brothers for a whole bunch of different reasons. Here began the season of life when all we listened to was their music.

7. Sunny with a Chance.

This show. The acting. The drama. The feud between studios. This show will always be one of my favorites. As silly as it may have been... at least it wasn't a talking dog who writes a blog... am I right?

8. Phineas and Ferb.

I couldn't make this list and not include this show! To this day, I still have the whole theme song memorized. Don't believe me? Well, I would prove it, but thats a little too much to type for this one picture. Besides, how can we skip over the fact that this show was all about summer vacation, yet we never saw an episode where they actually went back to school... Poor Candance, no one ever believes her.

9. The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

If only hotel life was actually this fun, I might stay at hotels more often. I will never forget when London was being taught how to drive, and she called the gear shift the "Prindle", or when Raven visited NY and spent all her vacation money on tourist key chains so she had to live off of food flavored gum for the rest of her trip.


Can we all just appreciate how amazing these shows were? Maybe you didn't watch all of them, or maybe you did. Maybe sometime you and I can have a throwback night where all we do is watch all the old TV shows that we grew up with. I would be okay with that. I'll bring the pizza and the popcorn, and we can rock out to all the theme songs that for some reason we still have memorized!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
