Sure, the series started way back in 2003 and ended in 2012, but I’m fairly sure there aren’t a whole lot of us who haven’t binge-watched this teen drama on Netflix many, many times. Filmed right here in Wilmington, North Carolina, this show has a special place in the hearts of several UNCW students and Wilmingtonians alike. Here are some signs that you’ve come to love it just a little too much–if that’s possible!
1. Watching Haley and Nathan on screen has set your relationship expectations unrealistically high.
2. You can quote the meaningful voice-overs at the beginning and end of each episode. (Bonus points if you used one for your senior quote in high school.)
Â
3.You get excited when you can point out places downtown and throughout Wilmington that you recognize from OTH. (Karen’s Cafe/Clothes Over Bros, anyone?)
Â
4.You’ll forever be sad that you missed the chance to be an extra while the show was still filming. (Or forever happy if you were actually able to do it!)
Â
5. You follow Sophia Bush on every social media possible because you almost wish you were like her (or B-Davis.)
