A lot goes on here in Tree Hill, North Carolina.

3 Things That 'One Tree Hill' Taught Me
Odyssey

The show "One Tree Hill" on Netflix is really a can’t miss. It has high school drama, family rivals, murderers, true love, and just about anything you can imagine. Not only does it have just the right amount of craziness, but it also has many life lessons. I highly encourage you to indulge in this binge-worthy show when you get a chance. This show teaches you lessons on…

1. Friendship

No matter what happens to these teenagers, their friendship never seems to end. Girls hook up with their best friends boyfriends, brothers fight (literally), and one even gets pregnant with her best friends brother. Trust me, there’s a lot of drama. But no matter what their life seems to throw at them, their friendship never fades away.

2. Love for sports

When the Tree Hill Ravens win that championship basketball game by a 3-pointer at the buzzer, I’m pretty sure I started crying. The love that the team and Coach Whitey Durham had for basketball is that rare love for sports that you never really see. A love for a sport that real makes me know that some people’s crazy obsessions with the game, in reality, is so important to have.

3. True love

I have never seen any show in my entire life that portrays true love better than "One Tree Hill" does. Haley and Nathan’s forbidden and secret relationship turns into a high school marriage, a pregnancy, and an eternal love. Lucas and Peyton’s relationship going from dating, to hiding their relationship, to sneaking around, and then finally being together again takes you on a crazy roller coaster of love. Lucas’ mom, Karen, and his uncle Keith, had a love so real that nothing could seem to break it. And although Keith ended up passing away (spoiler alert he was killed by his brother), Karen still had his baby and loved her just as much. This show has taught me so much about true love, that I hope one day I am happily married with my a prince charming of my own.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
