Although, when the sun goes down, many of us find ourselves in front of our television or computer screens, bingeing entire seasons of our favorite shows. What do you do when you finish your favorite series? Many find themselves delving into the depths of Netflix, watching B-List horror movies or your childhood favorite Disney film.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you.
