11 Stages Of "One Tree Hill" Withdrawl

You've made it through nine whole seasons of emotional highs and lows, but how do you cope with the fact that it's actually over?


1. Sadness.

It really is over. All nine seasons... finished. So what now?


2. Anger.

You think, "How can it be over? Just like that? I just started. I miss Naley."


3. Emptiness.

You find yourself searching through Netflix trying to find another series just to fill the void, but nothing lives up to your expectations.


4. Cyber stalking the actors to see what they're up to nowadays.

Are their Instas filled with throwback pictures from the set? Has anyone gotten married? What about kids? Is there a reunion in the making? Is Sophia Bush still killing the game? Of course she is, she's Sophia Bush.


5. Online shopping for as much OTH merchandise as you can possibly find.

Clothes Over Bros stickers, Keith Scott Body Shop hoodies, and number 23 t-shirts.

I would know... I have them all.


6. Wondering if you should re-watch the whole series.

Because that should make it all better, right?


7. Actually re-starting the whole series.

But you stop midway through season one, because you realize it's just not the same this time. There's no curiosity or excitement because you already know what happens, so you eventually just give up.


8. Convincing your best friend to take a road trip down to Wilmington, NC.

What's better than getting to sit at the table where Nathan and Haley shared their first moments together?

Absolutely nothing.


9. Downloading every possible song from Kate Voegele, Tyler Hilton, and Jana Kramer you can find.

Congrats! Your road trip playlist is now complete.


10. Discovering that there is a "One Tree Hill: Always and Forever" documentary.

Don't worry, it's on YouTube. Just make sure you have some tissues around --you'll need 'em.


11. Acceptance.

You begin to realize that although OTH was magical while it lasted, it's time for it to end.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
