One Tree Hill Review

A popular TV series directed at youth called One Tree Hill, has been on air since 2003. I've watched the series ever since it began. I've noticed that since the fifth season hit, the dramatic, yet comical television show that erupted from the creative minds of the CW, has gone downhill. The first season is filled with love triangles, car accidents, a psychotic father, and two half brothers who can't bare to be around each other who wind up on the same basketball team. The following three seasons were stupendous and brimming with breathtaking and emotional events. During the first four seasons, the actors played a part in highschool, which all of us viewers related to. We related to their problems, their feelings, basically every thing teenagers fight through throughout highschool. The fourth season was the last season they played the part of highschool students. As the fifth season began, it was four years later. The series was still satisfactory, but it didn't compare to the previous well-known hit. It's currently on the eighth season, and to me, it feels like the writers are continuously attempting to produce an interesting story-line, but they're just not succeeding. Once in a while, there will be captivating and intriguing episodes. However, in the first four seasons, there would be entertaining episodes that kept the audience on their toes every week. The seasons keep coming, and hopefully the producers will start to realize that the show that they keep going, doesn't have the spark that it used to.

The Road Less Traveled

1) Yes, I think it's important to be passionate about the career you choose to an extent. Going to a job you don't enjoy or you despise every day would be dreadful. You must be passionate about what you choose, but also be realistic. Most family member's of mine and friend's of my parents that I know have a career that they like. Some of them are very social, and have jobs where they have to interact with people every day, and they enjoy that. Others, are more confident behind closed doors and have very independent jobs. Either way, most of them are happy that I know of. I couldn't go to a job every day for most of the day, not enjoying my time. The job I choose probably won't be glamorous, and obviously it won't be easy and fun all of the time, but I won't pick a job that I will dread going to.
2) After graduation, I'm taking a business course at Okanagan College. I'm not sure if I'm taking the 2 year or 4 year program yet, just because I want to see if I like it first. After getting either a diploma or bachelor's degree, I could see myself working in an Events Center, or even being some sort of financial worker at the bank. I'm not sure yet what I want to be, but by taking a business course, I have varied selection which seems like a good choice to me. If I don't like it, at least I'll have some sort of an idea of what I might be interested in, and I can pursue that by taking more classes. I can see myself living in Vancouver once all my schooling is done, and hopefully having a career that I like, and that I have at least some passion for.
