3 Reasons Why I Regret Waiting This Long To Watch One Tree Hill

A little late on the trend, I finally understand the buzz over One Tree Hill

3 Reasons Why I Regret Waiting This Long To Watch One Tree Hill
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/section/tv

After hearing too many girls obsessing over Nathan Scott and seeing countless tweets quoting Brooke Davis, I decided to give in to my stubborn desire of avoiding watching trendy Netflix shows and began watching One Tree Hill — and so should you. The sights of young James Lafferty and Chad Michael Murray wearing basketball jerseys instantly hooked me. Don't get me wrong, Peyton Sawyer’s badass attitude, Brooke Davis’s playful heart, and Hayley James’ nerdy innocence definitely feed into the addiction that worsens after I watch each episode. Still, I regret waiting until my freshman year of college, almost two years after One Tree Hill began trending, to start watching, and heres why:

1. My friends love telling me what happens and already ruined the ending

Excitement took over my friends after I told them I finally started watching One Tree Hill. Not surprisingly, I inspired them to start watching for the second, even third time. Although I love making my friends happy, they did not hesitate to tell me that Hayley and Nathan end up together, Keith dies, and Lucas leaves in the middle of the show. Surprise.

2. All I do is watch One Tree Hill

I’m not going to lie, I’ve always been a talented procrastinator; however since taking care of my new addiction became a priority, my procrastination skills are being forced to improve. If I had sacrificed my stubbornness in high school where my grades did not impact my future as much as they do now, procrastination would not be too much of an issue. I happily lay in my cozy dorm room and binge watch One Tree Hill every single day. Hayley James Scott would not be proud.

3. Brooke Davis does in fact preach relevant and important life lessons

Maybe it’s because I’m a college freshman missing high school life and feeling sad about my friends not being five minutes away, but the lessons One Tree Hill teaches about not taking anything for granted truly touch my heart. Not only would they have made great senior quotes, but the wise words of Brooke Davis and the other characters in the show perfectly put into words the feelings shared by all high school students.

To those of you long time fans, I apologize for not believing your tweets and making fun of you for being so obsessed. So, if you have not already watched this brilliant and addicting time consumer, grab your popcorn, sit down, and start watching. Nathan Scott is worth your time. I promise your only regret will be not starting sooner!!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
