One Tree Hill his the nail on the head when it came to an edgy, emotional teenager that hit early-2000s kids right in the feelings. It was the perfect drama for the height of emo music that tackled teenage situations. Fans love the situations, drama, relationships, characters, and everything that this show wrapped up into one. However, this show would have not been the same without Nathan Scott, and here are all of the reasons we loved, and still love, him.

1. His confidence

Cockiness? Confidence? Regardless of how you looked at it, he had it and it made us love him even more.

2. His playfulness

It may have started out as a joke, but how he would joke with Haley made us all wish we were her.

3. His ability to change

Enter Haley - this bad boy and mean kid all of a sudden shows his soft side when the right girl comes along. And we all swoon because of it.

4. His attitude

How he treats his dad with pure attitude, rightfully so, shows us that a tough outer exterior is sometimes necessary.

5. His athleticism

Every high school girl loves a jock and Nathan Scott was the jockiest jock of all. Not only was he athletic, but he knew he was the best basketball player in town, and it made him even hotter.

6. Every girl wanted him

Sure, Peyton had him at the beginning, and then Haley swooped him up and locked him down, but there wasn't one girl who didn't love him (except Haley at the beginning).

7. How he got away with everything

Yes, when he was at his jerkiest, he got away with everything. That's the power of having a powerful daddy and ugh, we loved to hate it and hated to love it.

8. His IDGAF attitude about everything but basketball

Family problems. Parties. School. Nothing mattered but basketball and to be honest, we all wanted to be the ones who changed that.

9. How much he really did care underneath it all

When all was said and done, all Nathan needed was someone to show him that it's okay to be a good person and to care. When he finally did become a better person, we all fell in love with him.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
