1.The Vampire Diaries: 6 Seasons; September 10, 2009―March 10, 2017

The Vampire Diaries is a teenage paranormal drama about a high school teenager, Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev), who finds herself caught up in a paranormal world of creatures that go bump in the night.

2.The Originals: 5 Seasons; October 3, 3013―August 1, 2018

Now, if you've perhaps already delved into the world of mystical drama in The Vampire Diaries, then the show's spin-off is definitely worth looking into. The Originals focuses on the family of the world's first vampires as Klaus Mikaelson (Joseph Morgan) returns to his former home of New Orleans, Louisiana to find that he and his family no longer hold reign in their city as they once did. The Originals takes on a grittier theme than The Vampire Diaries, often exploring paranormal elements in a manner that will surely keep you on the edge of your seat.

This high school drama focuses on Serena Van Der Woodsen (Blake Lively), a popular socialite who returns to the Upper East Side, New York from boarding school and back into a world of elitism and debauchery.

As I'm sure you've probably heard, Pretty Little Liars holds a high ranking for teenage television drama. The show focuses on four former best friends only a year after their group's ring leader, Alison DiLaurentis (Sasha Pieterse), has gone missing. As the four girls aim to find out what happened to their missing friend while being blackmailed and tormented by the anonymous "A," no one's lies are safe from being exposed. With more secrets than truths and enough romance to provide all the angst you could ever want, this show is perfect for you drama-loving viewers.

5.Nikita: 5 Seasons; September 9, 2010―December 27, 2013

While Nikita doesn't exactly fall into the same category of teenage drama as many other shows on this list, the action-packed thriller will still most definitely keep your eyes glued to the screen. Nikita focuses on an ex-agent of a covert government organization, seeking revenge for the agency's duplicity and corruption. With the help of friends inside of the organization, Nikita works endlessly to bring this agency to its knees, often putting her own life on the line in the process.

The Carrie Diaries travels back in the time of the 80's to the teenage life of Sex And the City's Carrie Bradshaw (AnnaSophia Robb) as she dives into the world of New York fashion and high school romance. If any fans of Sex And the City are looking for innocent humor, puppy-love romances, and fashion simply to die for, this show will be perfect for you.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
