"Laguna Beach," the real "O.C.," was by far the greatest reality television show of the 2000s. The people were perfect, the location was amazing, and they made high school look like one hell of a good time. Everything from the trips they took to their style was what every high school student dreamed their lives could be like. Let's throw it back to some of the most missed things from "Laguna Beach."
THE THEME SONG
Thanks for letting the rain fall down, Hilary! When this song came on, you instantly knew "Laguna Beach" was coming on.
THE LOVE TRIANGLE
Everyone other than LC, Stephen, and Kristin are irrelevant in this picture. Just looking at the three of them standing next to each other brings back all the juicy drama and tension. Definitely one of the best looking love triangles to ever grace our TV screens.
"I just hate Lauren. She needs to go out of my life." -Kristin Cavallari.
Ouch, Kristin, that was harsh.
LC AND LO'S FRIENDSHIP
Two peas in a pod. These two always had each other's backs, no matter what. They were everyone's favorite duo. #friendshipgoals
PROM
All the boys asked the girls to prom in the cutest ways! If only every guy put in as much effort as the LB guys did when it was prom time. Trey really outdid himself when he asked his girlfriend to prom by spelling out the word in lights with roses around it.
I'm still waiting for a prom proposal like that.
THE CABO TRIP
LOL, remember this drama-filled episode? Kristin was just trying to have a good time, Stephen. Let her live!
THE LINGO
Dunzo, sketchy, gnarly. If you didn't already use these words, then you instantly started using them after watching this show. So west coast. So cool.
KRISTIN'S HONESTY
God, Jessica, why didn't you ever listen to Kristin when she warned you about Jason? Nothing was more frustrating/annoying than their relationship. Thankfully, Kristin kept it real and always let Jess know how it is.
THE PARTIES
LC, what's in that red solo cup? No wonder there was also so much drama at the parties and bonfires, everyone was drunk! You guys thought you had us fooled. Anyway, there was never a dull moment at the parties, and unfortunately, most of them ended with LC left behind to watch Kristin and Stephen leave together. That was always a bummer.
THE BOYS
Years later, and the boys of the real "O.C." still get you all hot and bothered. These boys made every girl want to transfer to Laguna Beach High School.
GRADUATION
When they graduated, you graduated with them. If you didn't cry during this episode, you probably don't have a soul. You became attached to their lifestyle and drama. It was sad to see season one and the originals go off on their separate ways.
