I am pretty sure you all have watched Netflix's hit rom-com "To All The Boys I've Loved Before," starring the precious Lana Condor and the smashing Noah Centineo. When my friends and I heard that on September 7 "Sierra Burgess is a Loser" would be coming out on Netflix, I was skeptical. Yes, it had Noah Centineo in it and yes, it was a rom-com, but the trailer looked unappetizing. Part of me had hope there would be redeeming factors in this movie, and the other part of me just wanted to watch it and see how terrible it would end up being. Well, after wasting about 100 minutes of my life, I can conclude that Sierra Burgess is the worst movie character to walk the planet and here's why.

Sierra Burgess uses her appearance as an excuse to why people don't like her.

Listen up Sierra. Nobody likes you because of your low self-confidence, your pessimistic look on life, and your poor life choices. She isn't even that ugly, honestly. Grow up Sierra.

She manipulates Jamie's feelings and uses her "poor looks" as an excuse.

She had the NERVE to manipulate precious Jamie into thinking she was someone else. That is so morally wrong on so many levels. And her rational behind it? "I am so ugly so I HAVE to lie to him." Ugh this movie made me hate her on so many levels.

She literally commits sexual harassment.

Can we talk about how Veronica and Sierra literally tricked Jamie into kissing Sierra without his consent??? This was extremely underplayed in the movie, and it's high key sexual harassment. And what's worse is that Jamie forgave her on the dime at the end. Like no???

Sierra is so absorbed in her own life and pushes all of her friends away because woe is me.

99.99% of the movie was Sierra complaining about how ugly and terrible her life is, and she simultaneously pushed away her friends with her negative attitude. I hate how the friends who tried their best to help her and care for her ended up getting the short stick. Stop it Sierra.

She let the whole catfish thing go on for way longer than it should.

If she would've told Jamie in the beginning who she really was, she wouldn't have created a big drama mess that would keep her up until 3 a.m. in the morning through haunting flashbacks for 5 years. Honestly.

Sierra pulls Veronica's feelings into the cat fishing game and gets her whole life tangled in this mess.

Yes, Veronica was mean at first, but then she became friends with Sierra and was less of a terrible person. But Sierra decides to drag Veronica into this mess and get her feelings entangled with Jamie. I hated how Sierra got mad at Veronica for kissing Jamie. Like hello, you want them to pretend their dating??? What did you expect them to do? Gotta keep the realism in there.

She pushes Dan away. Dan is precious and should've been the star of this movie tbh.

Dan is precious and needs to be protected at all cost

Okay so first of all, Dan deserved a better role than the stereotypical gay black best friend. Second of all, he is the most precious human being in this movie, and I need a spin off asap. His movie would be 100000x better than Sierra's (but honestly that isn't hard to beat). In addition to his sweet precious sass, his outfits are killer, and he is the only one in the Milky Way galaxy who can pull off that leopard printed jacket. Tldr; Save Dan 2k18.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
