There can never be a definitive ranking of these shows, but I'm sure we all have our personal favorites.

I don't know about you, but with the growing age of technology, getting to grow up with Disney Channel was probably the best part of my childhood. It's a little hard to believe that many of our beloved TV shows are nearly 15 years old!

Though ranking them will never be definitive, I'm sure we all have our personal favorites"

11. That's So Raven

Because who could get enough of Raven's fashion and over-exaggerated vision stare? On a more serious note, from pointing out issues with body-shaming and racism to teaching viewers to be proud and self-confident, Raven was a great role model to look up to.

10. Lizzie McGuire

I felt like I could really relate to Lizzie's struggles with boys, friends, and training bras.

9. Dave the Barbarian

As funny as Dave the Barbarian was, I didn't (and still don't) understand what this show was really about... but I always kinda wished to be Fang.

8. Jonas

If you know anything about me, this shouldn't come as a surprise. Though short-lived, Jonas will always be one of my top Disney faves!

7. The Proud Family

On top of this show being full of important life lessons, the theme song was always the jam. Singing along definitely made 8-year-old me feel like Beyoncé.

6. Wizards of Waverly Place

I'll never stop wishing that I could go back in time like in the theme song – it would have saved me a lot of trouble in high school. Also, unpopular opinion: I loved Harper and her eccentric outfits.

5. The Suite Life of Zack and Cody

What kid wouldn't want to live in a hotel and wreak havoc on the staff?! I bet your favorite episode was either the one about the ghost in Suite 613 or the one with Jesse McCartney.

4. American Dragon: Jake Long

As one of the only shows focused on Asian culture, I had a soft spot for Jake Long. In writing this article, I actually revisited this show and realized that, even though Jake was really irresponsible and self-absorbed, he really came through when he needed to save the day. #Goals

3. Hannah Montana

We have reached my Top 3, and what better way to get it going than with one of the best shows to air on television? Even though the show ended a while back, I'll still spend my life wishing I was a secret pop star with a blond wig.

2. Phil of the Future

In my opinion, this was one of the most underrated shows on Disney Channel. It's kind of like an early 2000s Modern Family. I also had a huge crush on Ricky Ullman, so I could just never get enough of this futuristic family.

1. Kim Possible

My all-time favorite show, Kim Possible always had me smiling, sitting on the edge of my seat, and wishing I was a kick-ass secret agent. Rescuing innocent people and cute boy bands, kicking bad guy butt, and getting through high school – could she be any more of a triple threat?!

It's hard not to get nostalgic and excited whenever we hear these throwbacks, and I bet some unforgettable memories pop up in our heads without us even trying. I thank Disney for bringing so much adventure and wonder into my life.

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
