The Ending To 'Sierra Burgess Is A Loser' Is Total BS, I Don’t Care How Dreamy Noah Centineo May Be

You don't need a boy like him to tell you that you are beautiful!

So a while back while I was doing my usual procrastinating and looking on Twitter and Buzzfeed, rather than doing my homework, I came across a lot of content about some new Netflix movie called, "Sierra Burgess Is a Loser."

I resumed my scrolling and was curious about why people were hyping this movie up so much. I then realized it was for several reasons.

Reason #1 was that Shannon Purser was in it and if you haven't been living under a rock for the last couple of years, then you know that she is the actress who played Barb in the Netflix series "Stranger Things". People were OBSESSED with this girl for some reason. I just remember seeing tons of tweets about #JusticeForBarb, but I personally wasn't that into her on the show, but whatever everyone has their own opinion.

Then there was reason #2; Noah Centineo was also in it and if you've been keeping up with pop culture, then you know that he is the dreamboat that plays Peter Kavinski in yet another Netflix original called, "To All The Boys I've Loved Before."

OK, I get the hype around him, but I wondered if this movie was actually good and not just one of those ones that get a lot of attention because of roles that its leads have played before.

So, last night while my boyfriend and I were browsing the movies on Netflix and we came across it, I told him that that may be an interesting watch and because he is the sweetheart that he is, he said ok and put it on.

Just as an FYI, STOP reading this if you don't want any spoilers!!

OK, let's carry on.

The movie started off not too bad and it slowly turned into what I felt was a catfish kind of story, but it was like the authors wanted you to feel bad for Sierra still, so they made it seem ok that she was lying to this boy about who she really was.

It honestly was cute though and it took a new approach on catfishing, while breaking down the typical mean girl dynamic by giving Veronica a heart and a tough backstory, so that she could be friends with a 'loser' like Sierra.

But, when the movie came to the conclusion I found myself dumbstruck.

We see in the movies climax, a girl who admits to her parents that it is hard looking the way she does and being a teenager, so it is obvious that she is not happy with who she was.

But then in the movies ending Sierra has just all of the sudden forgotten that she doesn't like the way she looks and since Jamey rode in on his shiny red Jeep for her, everything is OK and the problem is solved.

The reality is though, is that it doesn't work like that.

As someone who has struggled with my self-image, I can attest that just having a boy all the sudden like you and tell you that you are "just his type" isn't enough. He can list off 100 reasons why you are beautiful, but that doesn't always do it.

You need to find it in yourself that you are beautiful and not think it because some boy tells you that.

Sierra is beautiful in her own way. I mean Jamey listed off all of the reasons how, but she just needed to see it for her self first.

It's like that old saying about how can you let someone else love you if you can't love yourself?

Now I'm not saying that the movie was horrible, because it wasn't and I enjoyed most of it, but I do believe that Sierra should have found love for her self first, before Noah made her believe it.

It is nice having a guy tell you that you are beautiful, but its even nicer if you can believe it because you really think you are, inside and out.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
