The ABCs Of Tree Hill

Nine whole seasons of heart-melting content

One Tree Hill Cast


I just finished watching the iconic "One Tree Hill" for the first time and I'm still experiencing "Post TV Show Depression." Is that even a thing? I'm going to make it a thing. When you finish a show and you're just in shock that it's actually over and you just want to rewatch it again and again. Yeah, that's my current state, so of course, I decided to write about it. Like a coping mechanism or something.

If you have watched One Tree Hill, I KNOW you can relate. Let's bond a bit over our love of that drama-filled, small, North Carolina town that captured our hearts for nine seasons. Shall we?

If you haven't watched the whole show yet...stop reading now!! Watch more episodes!! Bookmark this article for later!! I discuss all things seasons one through nine.

A. Always and Forever

Always and Forever

If Naley isn't your favorite TV couple...what?? I love them. Who doesn't?!? They're iconic. They're goals. Everything you'd want wrapped up into two TV characters. This quote sums them up in three words.

B. Brooke Davis

BrookeGiphy

A QUEEN. Need I say more? She is dedicated to fashion, devoted to her family, supportive of her friends and she absolutely deserves the world.

C. Cheerleading

Cheer

"One Tree Hill" isn't "One Tree Hill" without the cheerleaders...especially the first four seasons. The drama between team members and the drama between **cough** certain basketball players shapes the show.

D. Dan and Deb

Dan and Deb

A rare nice photo

Oh my god, these two. Their relationship has never been solid, their arguments cause disagreements for pretty much everyone in town and they are the core of Nathan's stress...especially while in high school. This picture is a rare nice one.

E. Eat your soup

I love this line so much. Jamie's little comeback is just adorable. Pretty much anything that comes out of his mouth is adorable.

F. Fortitude

Clay and Nathan

Fanpop

At first, I had my doubts about Clay. I wasn't sure how his character would develop and fit into the show. But, the writers did such a great job and he's one of my favorites. After working with Nathan and eventually developing their own agency, Fortitude, Clay was quickly one of my favorites.

G. Gavin DeGraw

Is there anything better than jamming along to the theme song?? And random Gavin DeGraw appearances in the show??

H. Haley James Scott

Haley and Jamie

Fandom

Say what you want, but I love Haley. There are a few times, more so in the beginning, she came off as selfish, but she is really a great mom, friend, sister, teacher and wife.

I. It's you

It's you

Pinterest

"It's you, Peyton" GETS ME EVERY TIME.

J. Jamie Scott

Jamie

Gifer

What. A. Little. Cutie. If you don't want to hug him and multiply his cuteness, who even are you?

K. Karen's Cafe

Ah, a Tree Hill staple. Mostly home to some cute, wholesome happiness.

L. Lucas Scott

Lucas

Giphy

Tbh, I'm not the biggest Luke fan. Going back and forth between Peyton and Brooke all the time gets old, but #drama. If Lucas and Peyton were in the later seasons and if we could have seen them as parents, I think my perspective of him would have changed for the better. Side note, I'm team Leyton (Lucas + Peyton) over Brucas (Brooke + Lucas). Just sayin'.

M. Music

Haley singing

Fanvasion

This show revolves around music and basketball. We've got Haley's music career, Peyton's producing, Red Bedroom Records, Tric, Gavin DeGraw...all key parts of a music-filled show.

N. Nathan Scott

Nathan Scott

Giphy

MY. FAVORITE. CHARACTER. He's a great father, he's an amazing and supportive husband, he's got the looks, he's athletic, he's good with words...he's Nathan Scott. What more needs to be said? Mic drop.

O. "One day you're 17 planning for someday..."

One day...

Pinterest

One of Nathan's most memorable quotes that just hits ya right...in...the...feels. (And scares you when you realize you're not a kid anymore and it is ~someday~)

P. Peyton Sawyer

Peyton

Pinterest

I love Peyton. Another iconic core character that helps shape Tree Hill. Peyton is passionate about everything she loves and it shows. Plus, I just read Hilarie Burton's (who plays Peyton) autobiography, and it shows how her character carries over into her real life. (Also, I 12/10 recommend the book. It's a great read.)

Q. Quinn James

Quinn

Pinterest

I never understood her relationship with David and I'm so happy that she and Clay found each other. Clay and Quinn are SO CUTE! God, the last few scenes with little Logan just melted my whole heart.

R. River Court

River court

Tumblr

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to another historic night" -Mouth, season four finale at the beloved Rivercourt...where he got his start in sports broadcasting. Home to the first Nathan vs. Lucas "basketball battle," Nathan working with Q, Jamie playing with Nathan...and all of the MANY bittersweet moments in between. The River Court was home to so many key memories.

S. State championship

State Champions

Tumblr

My god this CLASSIC episode. Haley finds out she's having a boy, Lucas and Peyton figure themselves out, THE RAVENS WIN despite the point-shaving issue. It's just an all-around favorite. If you're going back to rewatch certain episodes...try season 4 episode 9.

T. Tric

Tric

Pinterest

The concerts. The Halloween festivities. The drama. And Chase Adams (bartender, bar manager turned BAR OWNER) handles it all so gracefully with his gross and unwanted specialty drinks.

U. Undercover

Superheroes

Pinterest

A random episode, but seeing the girls dressed up in superhero costumes is pretty memorable. I would call it unrealistic, but hey, we've learned to run with "unrealistic" at this point.

V. Victoria Davis

Victoria

Pinterest

Ohhh just another layer of drama. But, the show, and "Clothes over Bros," wouldn't have been the same without Victoria and her dominating self.

W. Wilmington, NC

What I would do to take a girl's trip to Wilmington IMMEDIATELY. How fun would it be to see the houses, the bridge, Karen's Cafe, the high school and all of the places that captured our hearts during the show? I love to travel...a weekend here is definitely on my list of places to go.

X. Xavier

Xavier

Fandom

A total nut case. When Tara came from behind to tase him, and then Brooke followed suit, I was jumping for joy. (Well, let's be honest, that whole episode had us on the edge of our seats. My goodness, I could not contain myself while watching that.)

Y. Young

Young marriage

Pinterest

It's no surprise that these teenagers act more like twenty-somethings while high school. Eh, we roll with it.

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK! What an episode. What a night. What an event.


I hope you enjoyed reliving some classic "One Tree Hill" memories. Now, go back and rewatch it all again. Go ahead, no one is judging. And I'll leave you with this cute Scott family photo.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
