Top 11 Old School Jams from Taylor Swift

Written while rocking out and reminiscing.

Congratulations world, Taylor Swift is on Spotify.

This is something that has changed my life in a major way because it brought so many great throwback jams back into my listening rotation. Of course, we all love more recent bangers like Bad Blood and Blank Space, but T-Swift has been rocking since 2006.

In honor of everyone's favorite sassy songwriter, let's take a walk down memory lane.

1. Teardrops On My Guitar

Odds are, this is the first Taylor Swift song that ever graced your young ears. We all imagined we had our own Drew and our own guitars to cry on, and we all fell in love.

2. Our Song

If you didn't love this song in fifth grade, we definitely would not have been friends. Because of this song, we all know that the deepest kind of love is the kind that you write a song about on an old napkin while you're riding shotgun with your hair undone in the front seat of his car.

3. Picture To Burn

Definitely not the most famous T-Swift hit, but still amazing. Is there any other insult better for an old boyfriend than to call him "just another picture to burn"?

4. Hey Stephen

The perfect song for a boy-crazy tween girl...I might have been slightly obsessed with it for a few months.

5. Fifteen

I can't say that Taylor Swift at fifteen and me at fifteen were all that similar. For comparison purposes, above there's a video of fifteen-year-old Taylor

And fifteen-year-old me:

Basically twins. But still, fifteen-year-old me (and twenty-year-old me) totally love Fifteen.

6. Love Story

When I first heard this song, I was in sixth grade and it was the height of romance. It's certainly not an accurate portrayal of Romeo and Juliet, but it's much more fun.

7. You Belong with Me

This song can probably be pointed to as when my girl really took off. Of course, this was the music video that beat Beyonce's Single Ladies and led to the Kanye/T-Swift beef. But even before the most memorable thing to ever happen at the VMA's occurred, You Belong With Me inspired "girls next door" everywhere.

8. Speak Now

Even though this song was also the title of T's third album, it's a song that I completely forgot about until a few days ago when it came up on my Spotify. Since then, I've basically had it on repeat. Am I listening to it right now? Hell yes.

9. Never Grow Up

When I first heard this song I thought, "Okay, it's a nice song." When I heard this song after I moved out of my childhood home and was living on my own at school, I sobbed. I don't recommend that you play this for your mom when she's feeling emotional.

10. Mine

This song was constantly blasted on the bus ride home from volleyball games when I was in eighth grade. Once again, Taylor Swift gave thirteen-year-olds a new definition of what love should be: taking on the world together and a drawer of my things at your place.

11. Mean

If you ever experienced any kind of injustice since the year 2010, you probably sang Mean in the shower that night. You come for the low-key sass of the chorus, but stay for when the song really crescendos and T-Swift belts out that the person who wronged her is "a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life, and mean." It really escalates quickly.

T-Swift, we thank you for your years of bangers. I proudly say that I have been jamming out to your songs for over ten years now. Thank you for finally jumping on the Spotify train; my road trips will be so much better now.

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.
