still sing our favorite theme
songs by heart, not to mention
spending hours practicing and
perfecting the Disney logo that
appeared before each episode
as the characters drew it with
their magic wand. To bring
back those cherished memories
one last time, here are
the most popular 2000s Disney
and Nickelodeon movies and
shows.
Undoubtedly, Lizzie
McGuire was one of the most
unforgettable shows of its era.
This famous Disney channel
show is coming up for its 19
year anniversary! We experienced
the adventures of a
13-year-old with her friends
Miranda and Gordo, and of
course her animated alter ego.
The Lizzie Mcguire Movie
served as the finale for this
memorable show that will be
looked back on throughout the
years.
Next up, the stepbrothers
who could not be more different
yet have the greatest times
together is almost at their 16
year anniversary. Drake & Josh
was the show that made us

from equality; it perpetuates a
discriminatory society that just
changes which race is at a disadvantage.
Affirmative action
does not need to be based on
race or ethnicity. The state of
California can help low-income
individuals who start a small
business, can favor them for
employment opportunities, and
state universities can even aid
students who would be the first
in their family to attend college.
We do not need to assume
that an African American needs
assistance because of their race
when they could be extremely
successful.
Proposition 18 is another
Constitutional Amendment
to be considered. This would
revise the constitution so
17-year-olds who would be 18
and eligible to vote by the
general election can also vote
during any primary or special
elections. The primary election
is held in the spring to
nominate candidates for the
presidency as well as vote on
other statewide measures while
laugh hysterically as they took
us along on their comical experiences.
These brothers made
each episode filled with excitement
and delight.
Zack and Cody was one of
the most amazing shows of our
childhood as well. Cole and
Dylan Sprouse, identical twins,
played the two main characters
in this show. Zack and Cody
Martin run around the Tipton
Hotel, where their mom works,
creating havoc as they turn the
hotel into their own personal
playground. We watch as
they pull many pranks on their
friends and family, especially
on their “handler” and the
owner of the hotel.
The conclusion of Hannah
Montana and its movie release
are now 14 years old. This
teenage pop star keeps her
celebrity identity a secret from
her friends and family for the
longest time, but she finally
reveals the truth in the heartwarming
Hannah Montana
Movie. The iconic “Best of
Both Worlds” and “Nobody’s
Perfect” songs are so engraved
in our minds that even 14 years
later, we can still sing them as
if we learned them yesterday.
Furthermore, this year is the
14th anniversary of the first
High School Musical movie.
Within the next two years,
High School Musical 2 and 3
came out as we watched Troy
Bolton and Gabriella Montez
journey throughout high school
as well as their remarkable
performances in their school
musicals.
In addition, this year marks
the 13th anniversary of Wizards
of Waverly Place. The Russo
children, along with their
spell books and wands, got
into lots of trouble throughout
the series. Many things went
wrong while the 3 children
were competing to be the next
family wizard, but in the end,
the general election takes place
in November. This revision
would allow for a 17-year-old
to vote in the spring if they
will be 18 before the general
election in November. The
support for this reform stems
from a desire for greater youth
participation on election day as
well as allowing any first-time
voters to be a part of the complete
election process. Studies
show that the youth population
had the lowest turnout for any
age demographic, but they also
show that voting can be habit-forming.
This proposition
will encourage young voters,
and if California can get teenagers
to vote at 18, they will
have a higher chance of them
continuing to vote. Others
believe that legal responsibility
is set at the age of 18 for
a reason; why should these
kids now get to vote earlier?
17-year-olds are still considered
minors because the scientific
evidence suggests their
undeveloped brains impair
their ability to reason, analyze,
and comprehend cause-and-effect.
A 17-year-old is also still
attending high school where
their political views can be
influenced by teachers and parents
causing them to only hear
one opinion. They are incentivized
to agree with these teachers
who hold the key to their
futures. The primary ballot
can include proposals on taxes
and such which do not directly
affect a 17-year-old voter, but
their vote could have a great
change in another’s life.
Another Proposition, number
22, will exempt app-based
transportation and delivery
companies from hiring their
drivers as employees; therefore,
they will not have to grant
their drivers the standard job
benefits and protections of an
employee. The state recently
passed a law restricting companies
from hiring independent
contractors as workers.
Rideshare and delivery companies
do not believe that this
new law makes their driver’s
employees and continues to
hire independent contractors,
but the Attorney General is
Alex Russo claimed the family
wizard title as we said farewell
to the Russo family in this
series finale.
Camp Rock, the camp we
all wished to attend, is now 12
years old. The Jonas Brothers
and Demi Lovato created a
sense of family and home within
this camp setting. The songs,
cabins, and music in these
movies produced a warm and
positive environment which
was very enjoyable to witness.
Good Luck Charlie is coming
in for its 10 year anniversary.
At the end of each episode,
Teddy Duncan would impart
some knowledge to her younger
sister Charlie, with the well
known catchphrase: “Good
Luck Charlie”. We watched as
now suing Uber and Lyft for
misclassifying their employees.
This proposal would make
it necessary for the rideshare
and delivery companies to provide
certain benefits, including
an earnings minimum, a health
insurance stipend, to pay for
costs when a driver gets hurt on
the job, and a rest policy. The
argument for Prop. 22 is that
the majority of app-based drivers
prefer to be independent
contractors because of the flexibility
this allows them. Most
drivers have other jobs and
are driving for a supplemental
income to support themselves.
Prop. 22 will provide new benefits
for independent contractors
while continuing to offer
what drivers like about working
for these companies. Other
drivers want all the benefits as
befits an essential employee.
Drivers do not make minimum
wage or overtime; they don’t
have any healthcare, unemployment
benefits, or paid sick
leave. There is also some concern
surrounding the fact that
Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash have

Disney and Nickelodeon Nostalgia for Babies of the 2000s
the entire Duncan family
attempted to take
care of Charlie, and we
laughed at their failed
attempts to do so.
Lastly, this year is the
10th anniversary of one
of our all-time favorite
Nickelodeon shows,
Victorious. Tori Vega
thrived at Hollywood
Arts as she explored
her musical talents that
she had never unearthed. We
followed her journey as her
natural singing ability allowed
her to shine. Witnessing Tori
succeed and pursue her dreams
sent a powerful message to
those who had the privilege of
watching this wonderful show.
These movies and tv shows
helped form our memories and
opinions as children. The messages
and joy that we gained
from these shows will stay with
us forever. Time flies by as we
are all growing up, attending
high school and beyond, yet
regardless of the hectic futures
that lay before us, we must
remember the remnants of our
childhood that helped shape us
into who we are today.
California Proposition Elections Process and Results
paid for Prop. 22 to be on the
ballot this November. Are these
companies attempting to avoid
granting their workers’ basic
rights and protections at work
by pushing forward a proposition
that will profit the specific
service their companies offer?
Some believe that these companies
created this proposition
only to help themselves and it
will be ultimately harmful to
the drivers.
With a record amount of
voters in California this year
we had decisive victories for
these three propositions I’ve
highlighted. Proposition 16 and
18 were both rejected while
Proposition 22 was passed. I
recommend that anyone interested
should research more
into the proposition. The props
are one of a few times that
Americans can vote directly on
the law. Next time or when we
become eligible to vote, don’t
skip through your ballot to cast
your vote for president. Take
this opportunity to exercise
your rights in our democracy
and make your voice heard.
