'Dumplin'' Is The Best Netflix Movie Ever, Change My Mind

This article contains spoilers!

"Dumplin'" is the best Netflix movie ever. Welcome to my Ted Talk.

For the past few days, Netflix has been trying to force me to watch "Dumplin'." At first, I felt like it wasn't something I'd like, I mean c'mon another drama about pageant girls? I mean Insatiable was amazing but I couldn't put up with another big girl gone thin story. Eventually, aka after I finished binging "Total Drama Island" (still no shame), I caved.

As soon as the movie started I was hooked, I already felt a deep emotional connection to Willowdean and her Aunt Lucy. And then as if one of the Marvel directors was there, they killed her off. I get why they did it but Will and Aunt Lucy deserved better. That was the first time I was an emotional wreck.

Willowdean was doing so good for herself until pageant season rolled around. Then, of course, her annoying mom had to come and ruin everything. I love Jennifer Aniston with all my heart but she did such a good job playing a bad mom that I hated her. Can you imagine that? Hated the woman who was once Rachel Green???

The icing on the whole cake was Bo. That boy is dreamy and I wish I was working at Harpy's with him. He likes Willowdean no matter what and even though she's a little chunky he still wants to kiss her and date her. They are the couple of the year, even though they aren't real.

Then she overcomes her insecurities and absolutely kills that pageant, with the help of her new friends and the drag queens. Which back to my original point, AUNT LUCY DESERVED BETTER. Aunt Lucy even inspired a drag queen to get up on stage and become the best Dolly Parton impersonator ever.

ON TOP OF ALL OF THIS, the whole soundtrack is Dolly Parton. The absolute country queen was the base of this whole movie. I literally named my car after the song Jolene. I was in Dolly heaven, it was almost as perfect as going to Dollywood, almost.

In conclusion, just watch the movie.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
