Oh, I totally agree that the OC could have gone on a lot longer than it did, but once they killed Marissa, everything changed. Season 4 was a whole different show. And while it had it's moments, it wasn't the show I fell in love with in Seasons 1 and 2. I mean, Season 1 as a whole, is pretty much the best season of television ever created. And Ryan and Taylor...just no.2. Ryan and Marissa are my ULTIMATE couple/OTP/ship/whatever. Even more than Luke and Lorelai. It's just so tragic. I think that the OC had the staying power to still be on today, they just ruined it so much. I don't see how those writers could write the perfection that was Season 1, near perfection that was Season 2... and then go into the weirdness. Like, I still love S3 and S4, but it's like my beloved characters were plopped onto this other show or something. Once S4 came along, it wasn't the same show to me. I still loved it, but in a different way. I haven't re-watched those episodes in awhile, and i'm kind of wondering what i'll think now since they're coming up soon. You're right, it was not supposed to end how it did. I loved Seth and Summer getting married but then that moment where Ryan and Taylor look at each other like they're next. Oh my God no. Not that I can imagine Ryan with ANYONE besides Marissa, but come on. Ryan and Taylor are not married. No.
5. Seriously, don't ever give up on that dream. I love that you say you'll live in a cardboard box in NYC b/c not only will you probably have to, but that's part of what I say all the time when i'm talking about my sad, desperate, need to be on camera self: I'd rather be on the streets of NYC begging for change than in a sprawling mansion out in Kansas. Ya feel me? Anyway I may only be 20 but I'm not ready to give up. Not just yet. And you can't either!
Regarding not giving up, I think that's why I love Disney so much. It's cheesy, but Disney has kinda given me the confidence that everything will work out in the end. Sure, not everything is going to be easy. I'll probably have to scrub an evil stepmother's floors for a while. But when I finally do get my happily ever after, all of the hard work and suffering will have been worth it.

I am DYING LAUGHING at that picture of Ben Savage with the Jersey Shore cast. DYING. I remember seeing a picture of Ben with Kris Allen a few months ago. I love that so many celebs want to take pictures with Cory Matthews!
