Melissa Joan Hart explains it all -- this time as a witch

Melissa Joan Hart, star of 'Sabrina, the Teenage Witch', started in showbiz at the tender age of 4 and become a teen sensation on Nickelodeon's 'Clarissa Explains It All'.

"Sometimes I feel like I kind of missed out on high school. I missed out on learning to relate to people my age, and I missed out on a social life, going to dances and things like that," says 20-year-old Melissa.

The busy New York native -- she's covering the presidential race for Nickelodeon and pens an advice column for 'Teen Beat' magazine -- did get to hang out with her peers when she attended college after 'Clarissa' ended it's four-year run in 1994.

She remembers her stint at New York University as "the best time I ever had."

There's a steady guy in Melissa's life. He is James Fields, 22, who lives in Utah, and she sees him about once a month.

"We met while I was filming a guest spot for 'Touched By An Angel' out there. We've been together for over a year now. We went to Hawaii to celebrate."
