Watching ‘Sierra Burgess Is A Loser’ Will Make YOU The Loser Of Two Hours You Will Never Get Back

Earlier this month, Netflix released its newest movie, "Sierra Burgess Is A Loser," and it wasn't the greatest film I've seen. If you don't know what this movie is about, it is essentially about a high schooler having a massive crush on the football quarterback of their rival school and pretending to be someone else. Veronica, the school cheerleader, gave Jamey, the quarterback, the phone number of Sierra, the loser, and the two of them had been communicating for months. These two girls trick Jamey into believing he was dating Veronica through Skype calls and face-to-face dates.

To sum it up, it's a catfish film with a bad message.

Right from the beginning, I was not impressed. My brother's girlfriend and I were really looking forward to watching this film and we were thoroughly disappointed. We stopped watching halfway through and vented about how terrible the film was. For this article, I finished watching the movie on my own, and I have to admit, it doesn't get much better. I thought this movie would have been similar to "To All The Boys I've Loved Before" and it absolutely wasn't. This movie was a TOTAL cliché. The main character thinks she's ugly, fat, and a loser, and pines after the hottest guy she's ever seen. The bitchy cheerleader has a broken family and befriends the loser and ends up betraying her. And the eye candy is the quarterback of the football team and on the rival team.

This movie sends a horrible message to all its viewers.

I found it saying that the only way a curvy girl could get a boyfriend was if she pretended to be a thin, pretty girl. This, of course, is not the case. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes. And as long as you love yourself and what you look like, it shouldn't matter what other people think. I know that's easier said than done, I fall victim to this all the time, but it can serve as a reminder that you're beautiful even if you don't think so.

There are going to be some spoilers in this paragraph, just a warning. As you're watching the film, you're going to be thinking that Jamey won't accept Veronica's and Sierra's apologies, but he does. He forgives them both and even starts dating Sierra. That doesn't happen in real life. If this movie were real, the girl would get blocked and reported on every social media. A restraining order may even come into play in real life. There is a whole television show about catfishing and it hurts both parties involved. Another unrealistic expectation of this movie. No guy or girl will go out with someone who lied about their identity and pretended to be someone else. That just isn't something that's easily forgivable.

So, moral of the story: don't watch this movie.

It will give you mixed messages and false hope about relationships. Plus, the characters all kinda suck and it's hard to like them. The only reason I watched this film was to see Noah Centineo, and he did not disappoint. But the movie was still trash, even he couldn't make it better.

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.
