3 Things That 'One Tree Hill' Taught Me
Odyssey

The show "One Tree Hill" on Netflix is really a can’t miss. It has high school drama, family rivals, murderers, true love, and just about anything you can imagine. Not only does it have just the right amount of craziness, but it also has many life lessons. I highly encourage you to indulge in this binge-worthy show when you get a chance. This show teaches you lessons on…

1. Friendship

No matter what happens to these teenagers, their friendship never seems to end. Girls hook up with their best friends boyfriends, brothers fight (literally), and one even gets pregnant with her best friends brother. Trust me, there’s a lot of drama. But no matter what their life seems to throw at them, their friendship never fades away.

2. Love for sports

When the Tree Hill Ravens win that championship basketball game by a 3-pointer at the buzzer, I’m pretty sure I started crying. The love that the team and Coach Whitey Durham had for basketball is that rare love for sports that you never really see. A love for a sport that real makes me know that some people’s crazy obsessions with the game, in reality, is so important to have.

3. True love

I have never seen any show in my entire life that portrays true love better than "One Tree Hill" does. Haley and Nathan’s forbidden and secret relationship turns into a high school marriage, a pregnancy, and an eternal love. Lucas and Peyton’s relationship going from dating, to hiding their relationship, to sneaking around, and then finally being together again takes you on a crazy roller coaster of love. Lucas’ mom, Karen, and his uncle Keith, had a love so real that nothing could seem to break it. And although Keith ended up passing away (spoiler alert he was killed by his brother), Karen still had his baby and loved her just as much. This show has taught me so much about true love, that I hope one day I am happily married with my a prince charming of my own.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
