15 Reasons Brooks Rattigan Was A More Perfect Date Than Peter Kavinsky
Netflix

You should all know that the long-awaited rom-com starring, once again, Noah Centineo was finally released on Netflix this weekend.

This time Noah Centineo stars as Brooks Rattigan in "The Perfect Date." Brooks Rattigan does share some qualities with Peter Kavinsky, but he has some key differences that really makes him more lovable than our beloved Peter Kavinsky.

1. Brooks wants to go to freaking Yale

He has big dreams and will do anything to make his dreams a reality.

2. He is an entrepreneur

He and his best friend Murph, literally created an app just so he could get his chaperone business off the ground.

3. The rodeo outfit

4. The salsa outfit

5. The bad boy boyfriend so her parents would like her actual boyfriend more

6. Only saying "yes" "I agree" and "there's no other way to see it"

Sometimes a girl just needs you to listen and agree with everything she says even if she might be totally wrong.

7. His dance moves

Despite the moves Celia did not have, Brooks could dance for days and enjoy every minute of it.

8. He looks really good in a suit like really good

9. He has good intentions

He may have been dumb and put his ambitions above his best friend and not realize when Celia wanted to be with him, but he did have good intentions. He did not mean to hurt anyone, he thought he was doing all of the right things to get to Yale, even if he was wrong.

10. He's not the popular boy everyone wants, like Peter K

Brooks Rattigan is from a more poor area and does not have all that his crush Shelby does in this movie. He is not the boy that every girl in school is pining after, he's the boy trying to find himself.

11. He actually had pretty decent dating advice

Talk about what you want to talk about.

12. He clearly knows how to have fun

13. He is the cutest subway shop worker

14. Brooks Rattigan just might be more fun to say than Peter Kavinsky

15. Even through all of the dressing up and pretending to be other people, Brooks finds who he really is and gets the girl

"The Perfect Date" is a really fun rom-com with great characters, especially Brooks Rattigan. Noah Centineo once again shines in this movie and will have girls all over falling even more in love with him (including myself). It's up for debate but Brooks Rattigan, just might be more lovable than Peter Kavinsky.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
