10 Things To Love About '10 Things I Hate About You'

"But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little, not even at all."

10 Things To Love About '10 Things I Hate About You'
EMGN

For the first time ever, I finally watched "10 Things I Hate About You." After seeing countless, iconic clips and references shared on social media, I grabbed myself a bowl of popcorn and sat down to watch the movie everyone seemed to love. And, I loved it. This movie encompasses the '90s in its glory (for any fellow nineties kids out there). So, what better way to summarize the movie by listing it's best parts? Here are my 10 things to love about "10 Things I Hate About You."

1. The soundtrack/'90s playlist

To be honest, to have a good movie there needs to be a good soundtrack that goes with it. And let’s face it, everyone loves 90s music. Not to mention, you probably had or will have at least one of the songs stuck in your head at the end of the movie.

2. '90s Heath Ledger

*cue the happy tears and cheesy smiles and heart melting*

4. Mr. Morgan and his sarcastic comments

He may look as young as his students, but English teacher Mr. Morgan’s sarcastic comments added another level of humor to the movie.


5. Kat's poem at the end of the movie

*cue the tears again*

6. Quintessential '90s teen angst

Giving viewers a fresh take on Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew,” this movie highlights the attitude and personalities of teenagers during the 90s. Although the movie follows a common story plot (boy gets bribed into taking unwilling girl to prom and both end up falling for each other), the personalities of each character still makes the movie appealing and likeable among its audience.

7. Paint scene and hay kiss

Probably the least violent game of paintball ever but also probably one of the most well-known rom-com kiss scenes.

8. '90s wardrobe

Enough said.


9. Cameron and Michael

Every good, cheesy, romantic movie has its pair of awkward and geeky friends. Plus, who wasn’t happy that Cameron and Bianca went to prom together?

10. And finally...the ending scene.

To be honest, this end scene was like any other end scene in a short, romantic comedy movie. The couple you were rooting for the whole movie finally end up together for good and they share one final kiss before the movie fades out. But let’s face it; when Patrick gave Kat the guitar she had been wanting our hearts melted yet once again.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
