My Top 10 Disney Channel Original Movies

This past weekend, Disney had a four day long marathon of DCOMs, or Disney Channel Original Movies, in honor of the hundredth DCOM being released. As a millennial, I was so excited for this marathon because I would be home for it and these are the movies I grew up watching on TV. Also, I absolutely love to reminisce, and this marathon brought back so many memories. I do have my personal favorites that I think everyone needs to watch. These are my top 10 DCOMs that I recommend to all of you.

1. "Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century" (1999)

This is hands down my favorite DCOM. I mean, Zenon is such a cool name, she gets to live on Earth and in space, and she has the coolest lingo?! Zetus lapetus, this movie was amazing. And who could ever forget the song "Zoom" by Proto Zoa?

2. "Smart House" (1999)

"Jump, jump, the house is jumpin!" This was probably one of the most iconic DCOMs ever. Who could forget about Pat, the technological house turned '50s housewife, that tried to cause a tornado within the house? This DCOM had me wishing that my own house could do my chores, cook me food, and project music videos on my wall. Plus, you gotta admit that song "C'est La Vie" was a great addition to the movie.

3. "Gotta Kick it Up!" (2002)

Not gonna lie, this is one of the underrated DCOMs out there. It has a great message, and I love movies that include dancing, so I'm a sucker for this one. I absolutely love how this DCOM shows that no matter what obstacles are in your way, you are able to overcome it with the help of people you can rely on.

4. "Geek Charming" (2011)

Aw man, I love this movie. A popular girl and a film geek pair up and end up winning more than just a documentary contest. I didn't think I was gonna get emotional during this movie, but it ends up being more relatable than you think, especially if you've ever felt like you've had to hide your true self at any point in your life.

5. "Cadet Kelly" (2002)

Lowkey, I kinda wanted to go to military school at one point after watching this movie ... then I gave myself a reality check and realized this movie wasn't realistic. Anyway, this is one of my favorite Hilary Duff movies hands down. It was funny, yet serious, and I always wanted to learn how to do that routine they did towards the end of the movie.

6-8. "The Cheetah Girls Trilogy" (2003, 2006, 2008)

How could my list be complete without at least one of these movies? Personally, I didn't think the third movie was that great because Raven was missing, but nonetheless, these movies taught me just how amazing your true friends can be. Also, no matter what, your girls will always have your back. Plus, I feel like Beyonce's lyric about hot sauce in her bag was inspired by Aqua carrying some in her purse (I'm totally kidding).

9-10. "High School Musical" and "High School Musical 2" (2006, 2007)

These two movies were literally my childhood, and were probably the most successful DCOMs out there. I'll forever remember the lyrics to all the songs, and the dance to "We're All in This Together" thanks to the Friday nights spent singing and dancing along to the karaoke or dance versions of the movies.

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.
