Why OTH (Kinda) Sucks

I love One Tree Hill, but there are some issues I'd like to address to all you fans.

Why OTH (Kinda) Sucks

Don't get me wrong, I love One Tree Hill. After only one and a half months, I am already halfway through the eighth season. However, there are some issues I have with this comedy/thriller/crime/romance or whatever the hell it is that I need to address.

1. The most frustrating thing about the show is how the main character, Lucas Freakin' Scott, left! His wife, Peyton Sawyer Scott left as well, but I don't really care for her and we'll get into that later. Lucas was, literally, the voice of the show. Later on, in season eight, they change the voice to the awkward braces wearing stage Jamie Scott which is weird.


2. How about how so many people almost died every damn episode that they should have had their own hospital wing? If someone wasn't drowning, getting shot or beaten up by a psycho stalker, they had heart problems or took steroids. I don't understand how one town can have so many problems. Let's not ignore how everyone seemed to be fine in the end with the exception of Keith Scott (which made me bawl like a baby; thanks Dan).

3.
Let's back up and talk about Peyton Sawyer (pre-Peyton Scott). For some reason, my friends adore her. I, however, see everything bad about her. First off, please stop crying or screaming. I have not seen her in an episode where she isn't complaining. Also, how about when she totally ignored Lucas until he started dating Brooke, then all of a sudden, she was head over heels for him. Or, how she denied Lucas' proposal then broke up ANOTHER one of his relationships. She is the reason girls look through their boyfriend's text messages when he goes to the bathroom.

4. Can I ask how Jamie Scott is mentally stable? He was kidnapped by crazy nanny, was bullied for wearing a cape (shout out to Chuck), almost drowned in a pool, dealt with his parents' depression, and almost drowned AGAIN while seeing his Godmother die then magically come back to life (like every character on OTH seems to do). But, he still manages to be the happiest kid ever.

5. in, I think, the 6th or 7th season, the producers, God knows why, thought it was a great idea to start remixing the theme song, "I Don't Want to Be," into country, rap, and whatever else they could get their hands on. I think they were trying to be cool and go with the then-generation. I, however, did not like it and was surprised with each new one.

6.Lucas and Peyton don't show up to Brooke's wedding. I repeat, Peyton, Brooke's so called best friend for ever and ever, does not come to her wedding. They claim her baby is sick but have they heard of doctors and babysitters? The least they could have done is send Lucas to the wedding. I mean everyone in Tree Hill had to suffer through a Lucas wedding, not only once, but TWICE (shout out to Lindsey).

7. Rachel marries Dan? Okay, I don't need to explain that one.

8. Why does everyone insist on staying in Tree Hill? There have been shootings, divorces, fires, stalkers, etc. You name something you wouldn't want in a town and Tree Hill probably has it.

Since I spent the last few minutes ranting about OTH, I will name five reasons why I love it.

1. Brooke Davis. Need I say more? This entrepreneur is a beautiful, determined, smart, strong. I live my life through her.

2. Naley. They proved to us people change, you can fight through the worst and make it out at your best, and when you marry someone as hot as Nathan, you can get the cutest kids.

3. The soundtrack. For people watching OTH on Netflix, you will find yourself nostalgically belting out the lyrics to the greatest song from the early 2000s.

4. It's just an amazing show. Not only does it make you cry into your ben & jerry's, laugh so hard your roommate looks over, and sit on the edge of your seat (college dorm bed), but it makes you happy; just a general overall sense of warmth.

5. Last, but not least, Brooke Davis.

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.

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.
