I recently started watching "The O.C.," which I realize is something most people did in the early 2000's, but better late than never. I have become slightly addicted and have lost a little too much sleep these past few weeks because I can’t seem to stop myself from clicking on the next episode even when its three in the morning and my 9 a.m. class is only a few short hours away. I’ve determined that one of the main reasons (or the only reason, if I’m really being honest) that I can’t stop watching is because of the undeniable love that I have for Seth Cohen. Cohen, played by the equally-as-adorable-in-real-life Adam Brody, has been stealing the hearts of girls across the country since his very first sarcastic comment in the pilot episode of 2003.
I find myself in a constant state of internal conflict between my adoration of Cohen and Summer’s relationship and my extreme jealously that she gets to date him and I don’t. I actually feel similarly conflicted about Adam Brody’s real-life relationship with the equally-as-perfect Leighton Meester. They’re just so cute that they make it really hard to hate how perfect they are. Anyways, watching "The O.C." -- and I’m only on season two so don’t go giving anything away now -- has had me thinking about how badly I wish I could have gone to The Harbor School in Orange County and have Seth Cohen pine over me year after year until I finally agreed to go out with him. While I wait for that dream to become a reality, I assembled a list of ten of the many reasons why I think Seth Cohen is the perfect boyfriend.
1. He has killer dance moves.
2. He'll make sure there's never an awkward silence.
3. He has no shame about being a nerd.
4. He's a religious (and inventive) guy.
5. He just really gets it.
6. See number five.
7. Nobody appreciates a good bagel like Seth does.
8. He knows how to have a good time.
9. Sometimes he, too, just literally can't.
10. No one loves staying in like Seth does.

Need I say more? Didn't think so. Happy binge watching.
