It's not hard to know what Taylor Swift's songwriting is all about: Love and heartache. In college, you experience a lot of the love and heart ache that Taylor sings about, just maybe not in the way she intended for you to. Here are 11 moments that Taylor Swift's song writing just really got to you.
1. When you’re P.O.ed at your professor because you failed the test.
“But all you are is mean
All you are is mean and a liar and pathetic
And alone in life and mean, and mean, and mean, and mean”
2. When you realize that being in your 20s actually makes you wish you were 10.
“So here I am in my new apartment
In a big city, they just dropped me off
It's so much colder than I thought it would be
So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on
Wish I'd never grown up
I wish I'd never grown up”
3. When you notice that the bar you used to love is actually just full of idiotic freshmen.
"Take me hooooome
Just take me hooooome
Yeah just take me hoooome, oh"
4. When you’re annoyed with your roommate and are thinking you should find a new one.
“When your saddest fear comes creeping in
That you never loved me or her or anyone or anything
Yeeeeeaaaaaaaah
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now”
5. When you’re hallucinating in the library because you are pulling your 4th all-nighter during finals week.
“Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods yet?
Are we out of the woods?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
Are we in the clear yet?
In the clear yet, good”
6. When your parents start questioning your ability to find a job.
“I'll never miss a beat,
I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see mmm,
that's what they don't see mmm
I'm dancing on my own (dancing on my own),
I'll make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go)
And that's what they don't know mmm,
that's what they don't know mmm”
7. When you reunite with your college besties for the first time all summer.
“I do recall now
The smell of the rain
Fresh on the pavement
I ran off the plane
That July ninth
The beat of your heart
It jumps through your shirt
I can still feel your arms”
8. When you're officially old, but pretend like you're not.
“I don't know about you but I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you
You don't know about me, but I bet you want to
Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we're
22 uh uh ah ah ah 22 uh uh uh”
9. When you convince yourself at midnight that that honey butter chicken biscuit actually needs you.
“If you can see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can't you see
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know
Baby, you belong with me
You belong with me”
10. When you're alone in your hometown and finally understand why upperclassmen stay in their college town to hang out with friends over winter break.
“It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine.
I'd go back to December turn around and make it all right.
I'd go back to December turn around and change my own mind. I go back to December all the time all the time.”
11. When you have a moment to finally take a shower in what may have been a very, very long time.
“Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe
And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
Finally clean, think I'm finally clean, ah ah
Think I'm finally clean”
