'To All The Boys I've Loved Before' Is So Special

To All The Boys I've Loved Before is a new Netflix movie based on the novel by Jenny Han. Over the last few weeks, it's taken the world by storm. This movie was supposedly so phenomenal that I just had to see why it was so special just for myself.

For those of you who don't know, the movie revolves around Lara Jean Covey and the five letters she had written to boys she has loved. Somehow the letters get mailed, and Lara Jean has to deal with learning that her crush, who happens to be her sister's ex, with finding out.

That's when Lara Jean and Peter, one of the letter recipients, decide to fake date. He wants to make his ex-jealous, and she doesn't want the one boy she actually loves to find out. However, along the way, they fall for each other.

Naturally, when I first watched it, I thought it was an adorable teen romance. Boy and girl pretend to have feelings for each other. Then by some trick of fate, they actually do fall in love. It's a cute movie for a rainy day.

I couldn't wait to watch this movie again. I wanted to show my friends at school something that we could bond over. It's one of those movies you watch with your best friends and laugh with.

Everyone has been falling in love with the main characters. I do have to say, it's hard not to. He seems just as adorable in real life as he was in the movie. Some days, it looks like he has taken the world by storm more than the movie.

Now as I said before, I had to see why this movie was so special. And I think I found out why. It all has to do with the type of audience it catches.

Normally when the girls want to watch a movie at school, the guys will insist on watching as well. When its a "chick-flick" that are picked, we hear nothing but disgruntled voices. Even at some points comments thrown out during the movie about how bad it is.

However, when they watched this one with us, we didn't get those usual comments. Yes, at the beginning they grumbled about another rom-com, and how this was going to be predictable. And maybe they had to deal with the girls falling even more in love with Peter Kavinsky, but they were real troopers.

They sat through the entire movie with minimal comments. At the end of the movie, they said how they actually enjoyed it and would watch the second one if it was made. All of the girls were floored.

So, here is the proof that this movie is so special. The movie was cute, it was funny, and for once the male lead was actually nice and not portrayed as a stupid jock. Here's to hoping another one is made, so we can get the guys to watch another movie without complaining about it.

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.

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.
