10 Must Visit Places in Wilmington for the One Tree Hill Fan Girl

Emily Richburg

Wilmington, NC... known for being One Tree Hill's filming city and for being amazing in general! If you're a true fan girl, it is well worth the trip, no matter the distance. These are just ten of the many places you can visit, and the cool thing is that each destination is within a 15 minute drive of the rest of them!

My friends and I made a day trip out of Wilmington this past summer, and it was awesome (from the fan-girl-ing to the good food to the city being so beautiful altogether). We used this site to find all the specific addresses, which was a huge help! Make a one day road-trip out of it, a girls weekend, a beach weekend, WHATEVER, JUST GO!

P.S. Don't read the spoiler alerts if you like surprises :)

1. Let's take it from the intro: the bridge

Spoiler alert! The bridge is not your typical bridge. It's a one way bridge with stoplights on both ends! So yeah, try not to get hit by a car while taking your picture!

2. Lucas' house... duh insert sassy girl emoji

Spoiler alert! It may not be what you wanna hear, but I must say the surrounding neighborhood is pretty run down and a little sketchy. It's interesting, however, that Lucas' house was farthest from majority of the other houses. Again, be safe!

3. Tree Hill High: home of the drama

Spoiler alert! It looks a good bit different than you'd expect, located at a community college rather than a high school. A big parking garage has been built nearby, but you can still recognize the inner grounds notorious for where the characters ate lunch and talked/screamed through all their drama.

4. Brooke's house... After all she is the girl behind the red door.

Spoiler alert! This house was actually hard to find since it's in a neighborhood full of other beautiful houses! The address we got offline was wrong, but we ended up finding it right down the street. Trust your gut (if you're a true fan-girl), not the internet.

5. TRIC/Red Bedroom Records

Spoiler alert! This place will be one of your favorite spots! Here you'll find tons and tons of writing from fans on the bricks of the building. Bring a good sharpie and make your mark!

6. The Cracker Jack Table... Nathan & Haley "always and forever"!

Spoiler alert! It is slightly hard to recognize because the wood has aged and they've done some remodeling, but it is still super cute. There's an old shack looking building right beside it, and if you have any kind of experience like mine, watch out for town drunks (LOL).On the plus side, there's a cute (and tasty) little ice cream shop nearby!

7. Nathan Scott's family home

Spoiler alert! The awesome thing here is that you can see the spot (and there's a basketball goal) where Nathan played in the show! The not so great thing is that it's surrounded with trees and bushes, for privacy I'd assume considering fan-girls like you and me have no regard for that.

8. Karen's Café/Clothes Over Bros

Spoiler alert! This place is probably the hardest to recognize! If you need some help, it's across the street from a little café (which just so happens to be the one Brooke has a fit in in season 9), and the café is beside a little Subway right in the midst of the downtown area. It is now a cute clothing store, although the clothes are nowhere near as cute as Brooke's! This image isn't exactly what it looks like today, but it probably will give you the best idea of what to expect.

9. Peyton's house...

Spoiler alert! This house is surrounded by bushes, as Nathan's house is, so it is a little difficult to find. But how could you not wanna see the house where psycho Derek was pushed out of the window? Talk about an intense episode...

10. The River Court

Spoiler alert! As you can see in the picture, the actual court is gone! Such a shame. Apparently, it was removed back in 2011. A battleship park is in the same general area. The plus side here is number one, that they couldn't get rid of the river, and number two, there's a wood shed area with picnic tables where, just like the TRIC location, there is tons and tons of writing from fellow fan-girls.

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

XOXO,

Your fellow fan-girl

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
