The Three Who Love One Tree Hill

The show One Tree Hill is back and the girls in room 618 are thrilled! Every Monday at 8pm UT junior Kaitlin Hall and seniors Lyndsay Magid and Joanna Scholtz gather around their living room TV to watch their favorite hit drama series they crave all week. The hit series is the only show the girls watch together, which is why they have made it into a room activity every Monday at 8pm.

Before the show begins, all the girls take part in getting everything ready for the airing of the show. Hall explained, “We have a system, I make the popcorn, Scholtz makes the drinks, and Magid makes sure the TV is on by 7:50 pm.”

When the clock strikes 8:00pm the girls make sure the snacks are ready, their front door is locked, and their phones are on silent so they do not have any interruptions during the hour the show is playing. Magid said, “It sounds crazy, but all of us do it. It is the one hour we can just relax and enjoy the show without any distractions.” They then gather round in their pajamas with their blankets and pillows and take their seats as the show begins to play.

Throughout the entire show no words are spoken between the three girls. Hall said, “It’s pretty comical, all of us just get in a zone and don’t snap out of it until a commercial break comes on or the show has ended.”

Since coming to Tampa the girls have watched the show together every Monday night since freshman year. They explained how they all have been fans of the show since the first season it aired in 2003, and have tried to keep the tradition alive here at college. Scholtz said, “We are so obsessed with the series, that we purposely make sure our class schedules don’t conflict with the time of the show.”

Although some may find the 618 girls Monday night tradition to be a bit too much, it is however a common tradition that many college girls take part in each week when tuning in to watch their favorite hit drama series.
