I'm sure everyone's heard of "One Tree Hill" (if you haven't, my sincerest apologies for you've been living without this wonderful show in your life). But I feel like those of us who are fans of the show always talk about how "style savvy" Brooke Davis is or how "moody and artsy" Peyton Sawyer is. Not a lot of people talk about how great of a character Haley James (Scott) is. So I'm here to tell you exactly that and hopefully you'll see why Haley should be your new favorite too.

---

She's super smart.

She actually met her future boyfriend-fiance-husband Nathan at the tutoring center. Her nose was always in a book and she got the grades to prove that all the studying paid off. She made being a little nerdy look very cool.

She's heartbreakingly honest.

She was so mature for her age, and I think that was because she did a lot of growing up when her and Nathan got married. But, even when things got rocky, no matter if it was at school, home or with her friendships/relationships, Haley never failed to say what was on her mind. She wasn't afraid to tell the truth and share her feelings, which made her such a brave girl.

She relates to us on so many levels.

Like this. Chocoholics everywhere, unite!

And this. Sleep is essential guys.

And she had the best one-liners.

Don't mess with Haley (especially not when she's pregnant during senior year)! These lines made for the best entertainment though.

She also had great hair. #Goals.

She pretty much rocked every color under the sun (red, blonde, and even a super dark brown). She also experimented with tight curls and straighter locks. She always looked so pretty and polished.

She was 1/2 of 'Naley', which makes her 1/2 of the best couple on television.

Nathan was a bad boy basketball player before he fell for Haley's good hearted nature. She changed him for the better-- and he made her believe in love. All around, their relationship was the best on the show and Haley was 50 percent of the reason for that.

She was talented, but always humble.

This girl could sing, but she never was overtly-bratty or acted like a diva (I'm choosing to forget that minor discretion during the end of Season 2/beginning of Season 3-- that was all Chris Keller's fault)! She was able to admit when she needed help with her music, and was also able to be a good judge of character which made her a long-lasting name in the music business.

She had the best advice for everything.

From love to life, Haley was the go-to girl for advice. She had the best wisdom because she followed her heartwithout losing her mind along the way.

Her family came first.

And what a cute little family it was. I mean, come on, how could you not look at Jamie Scott and smile? That kid was so cute! Haley was a great mother because she was able to balance discipline with fun and she never let things get too out of hand.

Her struggles only made her stronger.

Seeing Haley struggle through a dark period of depression after the death of her mother was so sad. But she was able to show a more vulnerable side of herself which made her all the more human and relatable to viewers. She came out stronger in the end with the help of her family, friends and her own determination. Just goes to show that you can get through anything if you try.

She had a heart of gold and she was true to herself 100 percent.

Thank you for being you, Haley James. The world of Tree Hill, North Carolina is better because of you.
