I am pretty sure you all have watched Netflix's hit rom-com "To All The Boys I've Loved Before," starring the precious Lana Condor and the smashing Noah Centineo. When my friends and I heard that on September 7 "Sierra Burgess is a Loser" would be coming out on Netflix, I was skeptical. Yes, it had Noah Centineo in it and yes, it was a rom-com, but the trailer looked unappetizing. Part of me had hope there would be redeeming factors in this movie, and the other part of me just wanted to watch it and see how terrible it would end up being. Well, after wasting about 100 minutes of my life, I can conclude that Sierra Burgess is the worst movie character to walk the planet and here's why.

Sierra Burgess uses her appearance as an excuse to why people don't like her.

Listen up Sierra. Nobody likes you because of your low self-confidence, your pessimistic look on life, and your poor life choices. She isn't even that ugly, honestly. Grow up Sierra.

She manipulates Jamie's feelings and uses her "poor looks" as an excuse.

She had the NERVE to manipulate precious Jamie into thinking she was someone else. That is so morally wrong on so many levels. And her rational behind it? "I am so ugly so I HAVE to lie to him." Ugh this movie made me hate her on so many levels.

She literally commits sexual harassment.

Can we talk about how Veronica and Sierra literally tricked Jamie into kissing Sierra without his consent??? This was extremely underplayed in the movie, and it's high key sexual harassment. And what's worse is that Jamie forgave her on the dime at the end. Like no???

Sierra is so absorbed in her own life and pushes all of her friends away because woe is me.

99.99% of the movie was Sierra complaining about how ugly and terrible her life is, and she simultaneously pushed away her friends with her negative attitude. I hate how the friends who tried their best to help her and care for her ended up getting the short stick. Stop it Sierra.

She let the whole catfish thing go on for way longer than it should.

If she would've told Jamie in the beginning who she really was, she wouldn't have created a big drama mess that would keep her up until 3 a.m. in the morning through haunting flashbacks for 5 years. Honestly.

Sierra pulls Veronica's feelings into the cat fishing game and gets her whole life tangled in this mess.

Yes, Veronica was mean at first, but then she became friends with Sierra and was less of a terrible person. But Sierra decides to drag Veronica into this mess and get her feelings entangled with Jamie. I hated how Sierra got mad at Veronica for kissing Jamie. Like hello, you want them to pretend their dating??? What did you expect them to do? Gotta keep the realism in there.

She pushes Dan away. Dan is precious and should've been the star of this movie tbh.

Dan is precious and needs to be protected at all cost

Okay so first of all, Dan deserved a better role than the stereotypical gay black best friend. Second of all, he is the most precious human being in this movie, and I need a spin off asap. His movie would be 100000x better than Sierra's (but honestly that isn't hard to beat). In addition to his sweet precious sass, his outfits are killer, and he is the only one in the Milky Way galaxy who can pull off that leopard printed jacket. Tldr; Save Dan 2k18.

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.
