For all you One Tree Hill fans, I think we can agree that we would’ve loved to have someone like Coach Whitey Durham in our lives. Whitey was not only a basketball coach, but he was a mentor, a loving husband, and a friend. With years of life experience in both the good and the bad, his advice made every character a better person. Not only did his advice impact the characters, it even went beyond the show and inspired the viewers to find value in the most important things in life.

Peyton Sawyer:

“Everything happens for a reason” is a line that gets thrown around far too often when bad things happen. Whitey makes it clear that sometimes things don’t happen for a reason. But in everything that happens, there can be a reason to bring hope and healing to others. Our pain can be used for a greater good if we let it.

Karen:

Stop waiting for “the right moment.” If you want to do something, don’t wait until you’re “ready.” The more you wait, the chances of you actually doing what you want become slimmer and slimmer. Sometimes thinking logically can be our biggest downfall. Life isn’t logical. And life won’t wait until you’re “ready.” Just remember that.

Lucas Scott:

“Hell, we're all afraid. What you gotta do is figure out what you're afraid of because when you put a face on it you can beat it. Better yet, you can use it.” Whitey made sure that Lucas knew, sometimes the greatest rewards come from doing what scares you the most. His advice might have been about basketball at the time, but Lucas carried this advice with him throughout everything else he faced in life.

Dan Scott:

Whitey dug deep down within his heart to find genuine and sympathetic advice to give to the man who put everyone through a living hell. To Dan Scott, the man who lost it all, Whitey gives him reassurance that he still has a noble and worthy purpose on this earth.

Nathan Scott:

Whitey took Nathan’s young marriage and used it as an opportunity to give him advice rather than judge him. Whitey told us that you never forget your first love. Fortunately for Nathan, his first and last love was Haley James Scott. It wasn’t always easy for them, but what made them so special was despite the hardships they endured, they always found their way back to each other because of their passion and love. That's marriage.

Everyone:

Last but not least, my personal favorite piece of advice.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
