Why The 'To All The Boys' Sequel Is Everything We Need This Year (01/14)

I, like many other college girls I know, have recently watched the Netflix Original Movie: "To All The Boys I've Loved Before." And it was fantastic. Like, it was really, really good. I definitely underestimated Netflix's ability to make a good rom-com, and now I'm in love. I'm in love with the movie, and maybe also Noah Centineo, although it may be a one-sided relationship.

The cast of this movie is awesome. None of these actors were terribly famous before this movie (except maybe Lara Jean's dad) but they all play their parts perfectly! I love Lana Condor as Lara Jean. She is just so freakin' fantastic and I can't wait to see what she does next as an actress. After she does the sequel, that is.

I think the main reason I love this movie so much is because of how much I relate to Lara Jean. I am Lara Jean. We both secretly maintain crushes from afar, have never had a boyfriend, hate driving, and spend most nights watching old TV shows on Netflix. I think we're pretty similar, although I have yet to write and address letters to my crushes through the ages and I don't think I ever will.

In the midst of my fangirling I came across the video announcing the sequel to the movie and I was shook. I knew the movies were based on books, but I never thought they would make a sequel, and so soon after the first one!

I am so insanely excited and I have lots of questions. Will Lara and Peter stay together? I sure hope so. Will Lara Jean learn to drive? Maybe. And will we find out what happens after John Ambrose shows up at Lara Jean's door? That better be the first scene.

While there is no set release date, it's likely the movie will come out this year, if we're lucky, or maybe early next year. Netflix turns its movies around pretty quickly, so we shouldn't have to wait long to see more of what happens to Lara and Peter's relationship.

I hope this movie lives up to all we're hoping it will be, and if it doesn't at least we still have the first movie to come back to time after time. And I will. I think I've already seen in 4 times since it came out, and I have friends who have seen it more than that.

I think 2019 could really use more things like this. Things to make us smile and support instead of fight about. In the midst of the news' constant stream of negativity, I am so, so happy that we still make time for fun, light romantic comedies like this one. I know it's only a movie, but its impact and the small happiness it brings really means a lot in the face of the less-than-happy things that we often face all around us.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
