A Definitive Ranking Of The People Who Made 'One Tree Hill' The Phenomena It Is Today

@onetreehillfans

"One Tree Hill" was and continues to be the show that holds my soul. This is my attempt at trying to make a ranking of as many characters that appeared on the show and made an impression on us all.

The Core 5:

1. Brooke

The best development of all the characters.

2. Haley

Who doesn't love Haley?

3. Nathan

From the one everyone hates to the one everyone gawks over.

4. Peyton

She really went through it and seemed to never catch a break.

5. Lucas

Love him in season one and six, but he did get whiny in between.

Supporting characters:

1. Jamie

The cutest kid on the show and he had the best relationship with #2.

2. Skills

Never failed to make me laugh.

3. Mouth

One of the greatest guys on the entire show.

4. Quinn

Filled half of the void in my heart when Peyton and Lucas left.

5. Clay

Filled the other half of the void in my heart.

6. Julian

Yet another guy that both Brooke and Peyton date, still perfect for Brooke nonetheless.

7. Millie

Not a fan of her in season 7.

8. Mia

I wish she had more on-screen time.

9. Chase

In the words of Jamie, "you're no Grubbs."

10. Alex

Everything she did cause my blood pressure to rise.

Everyone's favorite characters to hate:

1. Dan

Even with all the bad, there's no way he could have just been not a part of Tree Hill.

2. Chris Keller

I am personally a fan of him.

3. Victoria

She was horrible to her daughter but things were all right in the end.

4. Nanny Carrie

I will admit I felt some sympathy for her after knowing what happened but damn.

5. Psycho Derek

The epitome of the person your parents warned you about on the internet.

6. Katie

Clay's dead wife...whaat?

Honorable mentions:

Deb, Karen, Larry, Keith, Coach Whitey

They did add some guidance (maybe not Deb) in the insane world that was Tree Hill. Also: Keith deserved so much better.

Junk

Didn't necessarily have his own development but he was on the Rivercourt and hung out with Lucas, Skills, and Mouth.

Fergie

*see Junk

Chuck

Famous for yelling his name and punching people in the gut.

Sam

Loved her relationship with Brooke and would have loved to see her stay in Tree Hill.

Jake

Honestly wouldn't have been mad if he ended up with Peyton.

Quentin

His funeral will bring out the ugly cry in you.

I'm sure there are varying feelings on this and so many other characters but we can all agree on one thing: Netflix should put it back on.

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

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.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.
