'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.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
