Although the idea of dubbing a couple "#relationshipgoals" is fairly new on social media, the idea behind the term has been around for much longer. Probably one of the first times many of us felt this envy of another couple's love was when we first watched "High School Musical" and bore witness to Troy and Gabriella's sweet, romantic tale. So in honor of the 10 year anniversary of HSM, here are 12 times the couple gave us serious #relationshipgoals:
1. The fact that a fateful event on New Year's Eve is what brought them together, leaving the rest of us with ridiculously high expectations for the guys we will also meet on New Year's.
2. When, even after having a life changing moment with each other singing karaoke, they don't kiss at midnight - making us all swoon at how cute and nervous Troy is.
3. When sheer fate brings them back together again when Gabriella just so happens to transfer to Troy's high school.
4. When they fight to be with each other, despite the entire school trying to break them apart for some reason (come on, it's just one duet, just let them sing!).
5. When they end things (temporarily) and both have simultaneous musical melt downs about it. They are so in sync even when they aren't. *wipes tears*
6. When they realize they belong together and reunite at their callback audition, totally killing their rendition of "Breaking Free."
Then came HSM2 and HSM3 and even more #goals, like:
7. When Troy gave Gabriella the "T" necklace and made us all secretly want one from our S/O.
8. When they spent the summer working at the same place and had cute little moments like sneaking into the pool after hours - I mean, could a summer get more perfect?
9. Their first kiss (in the rain, of course) that had all of our hearts melting.
10. When this perfect moment happened and it made you want to have your own Troy to dance in the rain with.
11. When they finally performed together on stage and made everyone jealous of how perfect and in love they are.
12. When they graduated together and showed us that being successful together is the real #goal here.
I apologize for the possible tears, jealousy and nostalgia this list brought about, but no one can deny that Troy and Gabriella are the definition of #relationshipgoals. Whether it's their perfect smiles, pure love for each other or the success and encouragement they bring to each other's lives, they are everything we want in our own relationships in life.
