'Dumplin'' Is The Best Netflix Movie Ever, Change My Mind

This article contains spoilers!

"Dumplin'" is the best Netflix movie ever. Welcome to my Ted Talk.

For the past few days, Netflix has been trying to force me to watch "Dumplin'." At first, I felt like it wasn't something I'd like, I mean c'mon another drama about pageant girls? I mean Insatiable was amazing but I couldn't put up with another big girl gone thin story. Eventually, aka after I finished binging "Total Drama Island" (still no shame), I caved.

As soon as the movie started I was hooked, I already felt a deep emotional connection to Willowdean and her Aunt Lucy. And then as if one of the Marvel directors was there, they killed her off. I get why they did it but Will and Aunt Lucy deserved better. That was the first time I was an emotional wreck.

Willowdean was doing so good for herself until pageant season rolled around. Then, of course, her annoying mom had to come and ruin everything. I love Jennifer Aniston with all my heart but she did such a good job playing a bad mom that I hated her. Can you imagine that? Hated the woman who was once Rachel Green???

The icing on the whole cake was Bo. That boy is dreamy and I wish I was working at Harpy's with him. He likes Willowdean no matter what and even though she's a little chunky he still wants to kiss her and date her. They are the couple of the year, even though they aren't real.

Then she overcomes her insecurities and absolutely kills that pageant, with the help of her new friends and the drag queens. Which back to my original point, AUNT LUCY DESERVED BETTER. Aunt Lucy even inspired a drag queen to get up on stage and become the best Dolly Parton impersonator ever.

ON TOP OF ALL OF THIS, the whole soundtrack is Dolly Parton. The absolute country queen was the base of this whole movie. I literally named my car after the song Jolene. I was in Dolly heaven, it was almost as perfect as going to Dollywood, almost.

In conclusion, just watch the movie.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.
