The 15 Greatest Moments In One Tree Hill

Believe me, it was hard to only pick 15.

One Tree Hill is the greatest show of our generation. Yes, bold statement, but also extremely true. It wasn't on for 9 seasons for being a boring show. Who knew a show about a small North Carolina town could put you through such a roller coaster ride of emotions? One Tree Hill had its fair share of heartbreaking scenes and episodes, but it also had great, uplifting moments as well. It's hard to even make a list narrowing down all of the greatest moments of the greatest show ever, but nonetheless, here it is.

1. "Don't say I never gave you anything."

The beginning of Naley, and the beginning of girls setting standards way too high hoping they would find a guy like Nathan Scott.

2. Lucas declares his love for Brooke.

I was the biggest Brooke and Lucas fan for the longest time, and this scene had a huge role in that. It was so perfect, and so evident that these 2 really were in love.

3. The Boy Toy Auction

I don't really have to spell this one out, do I? So perfect in so many ways.

4. Lucas tells Peyton "It's you".

I know this totally contradicts number 2, but come on, we all know it was Lucas and Peyton from the get-go. They're on the high of just winning the State Championship and it's all just so perfect.

5. Nathan and Haley's Wedding Day

Before sh*t went down and Rachel stole the limo with Cooper, it was a magical day. OTH's greatest couple was making their marriage official and showing everyone that true love exists.

6. Haley's graduation speech

After the crap our girl went through to keep her Valedictorian title, she was killing it with her kickass speech, and then her water breaks. So much going on in such a small amount of time. And we finally get to meet Jamie!

7. The Season 4 finale

It was the end of the days at Tree Hill high, and the end of an era. Everyone signed their name on the River Court and vowed to meet back there in 4 years after college, and it was all just so beautiful.

8. Dan saves Jamie

Dan Scott is out of jail and we're all freaking out a little bit, but when psycho Nanny Carrie kidnaps Jamie from Lindsay and Lucas's sh*t show, (whoops, I mean wedding) Dan saves him from that sketchy motel and we suddenly get a little soft spot for Tree Hill's most infamous resident. Karen's face when she sees him though. Ugh.

9. Peyton meets Lucas at the airport

Season 5 finale killed us with the cliffhanger of not knowing who Lucas called and said "wanna get married?" from the airport. Was it Brooke? Peyton? Lindsay? Spoiler: it's Peyton. Again, true love conquers all. Lucas and Peyton were always meant to be.

10. "Zero Is Not A Size"

Brooke Davis > everyone. The Clothes Over Bros campaign turned into a real campaign ran by Sophia Bush who played Brooke Davis and it took a stand on fat shaming and eating disorders, and it was perfect.

11. Deb saves Haley and Jamie from Nanny Carrie

Psycho Nanny Carrie at it again, and Deb Scott comes in clutch with a bottle of wine. Deb Scott for the win, like always.

12. Nathan makes it to the NBA.

With everything Nathan had been through up to this point, it was amazing to see his hard work FINALLY pay off.

13. Clay remembers Logan is his son

After Clay's wife died, he blocked out a lot including the fact that he had a son. He reunites with Logan at a psychiatric hospital and the moment he finally remembers its his son, our hearts smiled and cried, and cried some more.

14. Dan Scott's death

You would think that this would be an exciting moment due to the fact that Dan has done some of the most horrific things like KILLING HIS OWN BROTHER, but that was all a thing of the past. He was surrounded by the ones he loved, and Keith was even there to welcome him with open arms. You know you sobbed when Keith said "you're my plus one" as they walked to heaven, COME ON.

15. The final shot in the series finale

The end of the greatest show on TV. So bittersweet, but the ending was perfect. The last shot of Jamie, now a Tree Hill Raven, running onto the court makes this whole show come full circle.

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.

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.
