Why Danny Zuko Was The Worst Boyfriend Ever

That's not cool, baby.

Why Danny Zuko Was The Worst Boyfriend Ever

Way back when, before John Travolta was known for his extensive plastic surgery, or the infamous “Adele Dazeem” incident, he was a stud. A first-class, bad boy knock-out who not only could sing and dance, but whose one strand of hair down his face would put Zayn Malik’s to shame.

While recently watching "Grease" with my roommate, I began to notice though that Danny Zuko had lost the charm that he once had over me. Maybe it was because I hadn’t seen it in a while, or I finally saw the light, but I noticed that Danny Zuko makes for a pretty crummy boyfriend. Here are some signs of why he sucks. More importantly, if your boyfriend is anything like him, girl, you best be leaving him stranded at that drive-in without looking back.

1. He makes her this ridiculous promise.

I understand this is the beginning of the movie and our journey with Danny and Sandy, but still. Danny had no idea if he would ever see this girl again, yet he makes this over the top promise. But unfortunately, Danny was right in that this was only the beginning of their flawed relationship.

2. He doesn’t know how to apologize.

Oh, please *rolls eyes endlessly.*

3. He literally laughs in her face because she’s right.

Really, Danny? You’ll make an uber-romantic declaration of your love, but aren’t big enough to admit that you still have those feelings for Sandy? That’s not cool, baby. Quit rocking and rolling and stay in one lane!

4. He hides his relationship from his friends.

What does he have to hide? Sandy is a smart and beautiful girl who probably has more class than any of the T Birds or Pink Ladies put together. And she has an Australian accent. How are any of these things embarrassing in the slightest?

5. He puts more care into a car than his girlfriend.

He doesn’t hide it from his friends. He doesn’t ignore it. He doesn’t tell it to be cool. Draw your own conclusions.

6. He makes fun of Sandy’s new beau, Tom, for being a jock, yet can’t comprehend himself the concept of sports.

He does try to change for Sandy. He tries to see what she could possibly see in Tom, but it’s really just to prove that he’s better than Tom in general, not for Sandy. But boy’s got no game and I’m not just talking about the basketball.

7. When Cha-Cha tries to dance with him, he acts like he has no choice, but to keep dancing with her.

Where did I miss the part when Danny has a sudden interest in winning the dance contest? Get your priorities straight, Zuko.

8. He knows no boundaries.

He left her at the dance. He punched her in the boob. He gave her a promise ring just to try to get some action. He’s got some nerve in continuing to push Sandy’s buttons even further.

9. He tells Sandy she can’t walk out of a drive-in.

You might as well call her Gillian Flynn because she is gone, girl.

10. He laments his feelings to the worst song not in the movie, but in musical history.

Danny whines at his failed attempt of not getting any more mature, and not getting laid as the world’s smallest violin plays in the background.

11. He picks up a sweater to signify he’s a changed man only to ditch it subsequently two seconds later.

In his mind, Sandy changed, so why should he have to? Why should you ever have to compromise in a relationship?


Just let go, Sandy! Let go!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
