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. 

World's tiniest violin

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
