11 Reasons Why The O.C was the Best Show

https://lauraehall2.wordpress.com/2012/03/26/badge-pen-tool-13/

Everyone talks about Gossip Girl but The O.C. was hands down the best show of our childhood. Here are 11 reasons why Newport Beach was your favorite place.

1. The Harbor School

They had a cappuccino bar in the middle of their lounge. Every after school activity imaginable. (I mean synchronized swimming?!?) It set my idea of high school way too high. Nothing will ever live up.

2. The fashion

Chanel, Dior, and the classic early 2000s Juicy Couture tracksuits. You wanted Marisa Cooper's closet and you idolized Summer Robbert's style. There was nothing that symbolized the early 2000s trends better than The O.C.

3. Those houses

The Cooper-Nickel house. Nothing else left to say because no house mattered after that.

4. Ryan Atwood

He was the rugged Knight in Shinning Armor that lives in your dreams come to life. He was always there for Marisa and deep down had a good heart, just a hard life kept people from seeing it.

5. Seth Cohen

In complete contrast to the rugged Ryan, we have geeky, nerdy Seth. Who's sarcasm was only matched by his father.

6. Sandy Cohen

Speaking of Sandy Cohen, who didn't want him as a dad? He had the snakiest comments for all the O.C's crazy things. Plus his love for Kristin was greater than any other.

7. Chrismukkah

The made up holiday we all love. The combination of two religions and holidays and Seth.

8. The relationships

Marisa and Ryan. Seth and Summer. Sandy and Kristen. The big three had more love than any other show on air.

9. The friendships

Besides love, the show had true friendships. Though we started out hating Summer, she proved to be the best friend Marisa had. The same goes for Seth. It showed the evolution of friendships in high school and made you wish you were apart of the original squad.

10. The family drama.

The Coopers made you love your family and the Cohens made you want to be in their family.

11. Finally, the music.

From the iconic theme song to the great bands that perform throughout the series, the music was a big part of the show. It was basically the epitome of the 00s.

So let me let Luke tell it best:

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
