17 Reasons Why Millennials Should Binge-Watch "Girl Meets World"

Seven seasons, 158 episodes and over 92 hours of total showtime. "Boy Meets World," or what I called the "Cory and Topanga Show" was iconic. Millennials learned when Mr. Feeny taught, laughed at Shawn's jokes, "aww'd" at the love scenes between Cory and Topanga and, most importantly, learned critical life lessons. When I first heard Disney Channel was creating "Girl Meets World," a revival of my favorite childhood show, I cringed. Two seasons, 19 episodes and more than seven hours of total showtime. "Boy Meets World" is sacred territory. "Girl Meets World" had a lot to live up to and I wasn't sure it was going to make the cut. However, two seasons later, I am proud to say that the cast and crew of the newer Disney Channel show has done a terrific job so far. "Girl Meets World" lets millennials revisit the crazy and mischievous world of the Matthews family and see how the characters we fell in love with shape and prepare their chilren for the future. Here are 17 reasons to binge-watch "Girl Meets World."

1. The Reunions

2. More Cory and Topanga

3. Seeing the cast all grown-up, teaching their life experiences to the next generation


4. Shawn being the father-figure to Maya that Mr. Turner was to him


5. FEE-FEEE-FEENY!


6. Mr. Squirrels, Eric Matthews, Mayor of St. Upidville and Senator

7. Cory teaching his class important life lessons, just as Feeny did


8. Like mother, like daughter


9. This scene

10. Riley and Lucas are no Cory and Topanga, but they are pretty adorable.


11. Riley and Maya envision past "Boy Meets World" scenes.

12. Squad goals

13. Style throwbacks

14. Similarities that leave millennials swooning

15. Farkle Minkus, Stuart's son, or scientific clone? No one is sure.


16. "No Homework, More Freedom!"


17. Riley and Maya are the best of friends. The may even be tied with Shawn and Cory.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
