1. You'll have added 100 new songs to your iPod by the end of Season 9.
Seriously, the OTH playlist is real!!! One Tree Hill is known for introducing popular and upcoming artists to its viewers including Gavin DeGraw, The Wreckers, Jimmy Eat World, Lupe Fiasco and many more during its nine-season run. Fun Fact: All 187 episodes of the show are named after song titles.
2. You'll want a relationship like Haley and Nathan's
Ah yes, Nathan and Haley,
3. You'll learn how to be a #GIRLBOSS from the one and only Brooke Davis.
Lucas Scott called it. Brooke Davis was going to change the world someday and that she did. Our girl B Davis has never lacked in the
4. You'll want Lucas Scott to narrate your life.
Lucas Scott. The king of brooding. The literary genius. The man who's narrating voice sounds like warm butter on toast. Lucas Scott always knows the right things to say - I'll try to forget that it's all scripted. You can narrate my life any day.
5. You'll feel as if these characters are your children.
"WHY" "DID YOU DO THAT?" "NO!!!!" "FINALLY!!!" "WHAT!!!" -everyone watching OTH probably
You'll begin to feel a whole spectrum of emotions for these characters including but not limited to: secondhand embarrassment, heartbreak, anger, and love.
6. You'll definitely choose hoes (or clothes) over bros.
Enough said. Ladies take note.
7. You'll want to live in Tree Hill.
"My name is Lucas Scott. I'm a senior at Tree Hill High School. I play basketball… at least I used to. I have a girlfriend… at least I used to. And I have a best friend. Tree Hill is just a place somewhere in the world. Maybe it's a lot like your world, maybe it's nothing like it. But if you look closer, you might see someone likeyou, or someone like you. Someone trying to find their way. Someone trying to find their place. Someone trying to find their self. Sometimes it seems like you are the only one in the world who's struggling, who's frustrated, unsatisfied, barely getting by. But that feeling's a lie. And if you just hold on, just find the courage to face it all for another day, someone or something will find you and make it all okay. Because we all need a little helpsometimes-someone to help us hear the music in their world, to remind us that it won't always be this way. That someone is out there. And that someone will find you…"
I was one of many who
I mean who wouldn't want to sip morning coffee at Karen's Cafe, attend Tree Hill High, play some basketball on the river court, listen to live music at TRIC, or attend the annual Tree Hill Burning Boat Festival?
8. You'll be more into basketball than you ever have before.
I'm pretty sure I rooted for the Tree Hill Ravens harder than I have any other sports team. Who can blame me though, look at them, am I right ladies?
9. You'll want a friend group like theirs.
Drama, tears, breakups, anger, weddings, moving houses, tragedies, runaway brides, shootings, car crashes. I could go on forever but this Tree Hill gang has been through a lot and are still always there for each other. You can help but dream of friendships like these.
10. Your blood pressure will be at an all-time high.
The cliff hangers NEVER END. SERIOUSLY. If you're a recovering Netflix binge-watcher than do not start this show. DON'T DO IT! (but also do it, you know what I mean?)
Like how could you end an episode like this? HUH? Tell me, Mark Schwahn.
11. You WILL cry your eyes out during the series finale.
Just knowing it was my last time jamming to "I Don't Want To Be" by Gavin DeGraw during the intro already had me tearing up. Have your tissues prepared friends because you're about to get emotional.
"It's the oldest story in the world. One day you're 17 and planning for someday. And then quietly and without you ever really noticing, someday is today. And then someday is yesterday. And this is your life." — Nathan Scott
