If you watched MTV in the early-to-mid 2000s, you might remember the crown jewel of scripted reality television: The Hills.

I mean, who could forget the catfights, work drama, and will-they-won't-they-date storylines every week?

And of course, this very wise advice that perfectly related to my junior high boy problems.
But after all this time, there's still one thing that haunts me every day of my life.
MTV
It's not that Heidi clearly chose her relationship with Spencer over her friendship with Lauren...

Or that they straight-up replaced LC with her archenemy, Kristin Cavallari, to keep the show going for two more seasons...
MTV
IT'S THE FACT THAT LAUREN PICKED HANGING OUT WITH HER BOYFRIEND OVER AN INTERNSHIP IN ~PARIS, FRANCE~.
MTV
BUT YOU DID, LAUREN. YOU DID.
Now, listen. I'm just as big of a fan of true love as anyone else, and I'll admit at one point in time Lauren and Jason were my OTP...
MTV
BUT 👏 GIRL 👏 IT'S 👏 PARIS 👏 FRANCE.

I guess really no one could have predicted how things with Lauren and Jason would end...
MTV
(Or like, could we? Doesn't anyone remember New Year's Eve 2005?!)
MTV
But alas, she chose what looked like true love over her career.

Even though we never saw any real footage of that summer in Malibu, the first episode of the next season was very telling.

Lisa Love: "She's gonna always be known as the girl who didn't go to Paris."
MTV
SAME, LAUREN. SAME.
Basically, it's been years since The Hills ended, but LC might never live it down.
