Ever miss a show so much that you wish they could just reboot it? Unfortunately, those wishes don't always come true, but the next best thing comes through...SPIN-OFFS! Here are five spin-off shows that are worth the watch from your favorite tv show universes.

1. The Carrie Diaries (Sex and the City)

Although The Carrie Diaries had a short run of two seasons from 2013-2014, it was definitely a force to be reckoned with while on air. We got to see a glimpse into the young Carrie and what made Ms. Bradshaw into the Carrie we know from Sex And the City. Although we don't get a glimpse of Miranda and Charlotte just yet, young Samantha and high school friends Mouse and Maggie are there to lead Carrie down the road that is her young adult life. Not to mention we get to listen to rad eighties soundtracks and see Austin Butler as Carrie's first love, Sebastian.

2. The Originals (The Vampire Diaries)

This suspenseful spinoff of the much loved "Vampire Diaries" is exactly what you need if you can't get enough vampiric content to sink your fangs into. Following the "original" family of immortal vampires (hence the name) in the streets of New Orleans, this family faces many ghouls of the supernatural realm.

3. Grownish (Blackish)

This newer spinoff of ABC's award-winning sitcom "Blackish" births "Grownish" which follows the Johnson family's oldest daughter, Zoey, to college. Here she meets new friends, new foes, and new boos and must combat the ins and outs of young adulthood in college. In addition to being utterly relatable, it's hilarious like...really hilarious.

4. Degrassi The Next Generation (Degrassi)

Now I know you're thinking "huh? Degrassi TGN isn't an original?". The answer to that is no, actually. Unless your a Canadian who's familiar with the original eighties version of this show following high schoolers through the halls of Degrassi High then you know that this is not the first (or last) spin-off of this show. As the drama-filled hallways of this Canadian high school seem to never end, this show is still binge-worthy and the next generation is by far the BEST generation. (Not to mention young Drake is apart of it).

5. The Hills (Laguna Beach)

I must admit, I do prefer the original show to this spinoff, BUT that doesn't mean that "The Hills" isn't absolutely meme-worthy and American reality TV royalty. The show follows Laguna Beach alumni Lauren Conrad and her new college buddies Heidi, Adriana, and Whitney through the streets of LA as they begin to juggle social life post-graduation. Although much of the drama has people claiming it was scripted it doesn't make the hilarity to come out of it any less entertaining.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
