It's safe to say that college students look at everything a bit differently than any other humans. Normal people see a dog, college students see the second coming of Jesus. Taylor Swift is a break-up-anthem-singing superstar to normal people, but to college students, she is preaching about all-nighters, syllabus weeks, and midterms.
1. "Now I'm lying on the cold, hard ground."
- "I Knew You Were Trouble," Red
After an all-nighter, sometimes you just have to accept defeat and sprawl out on your bathroom floor. It's okay. Taylor and I support you.
2. "It feels like one of those nights we won't be sleeping."
- "22," Red
A six-page paper due Tuesday, three exams Wednesday, and an oral presentation on Thursday? Thank you, coffee.
3. "And I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me?"
- "Story of Us," Speak Now
When you are the only one in your study group that is visibly panicked about an upcoming exam. Show yourself please!
4. "You look like bad news, I gotta have you."
- "22," Red
Whether you are mid study session at three in the morning or coming home from a night out, nothing makes you want pizza more than knowing you should not have pizza
5. "I've never heard silence quite this loud."
- "Story of Us," Speak Now
Deciding to change up the scenery and study in the quiet section of the library makes you want to join a rock band to compensate for the quietness you just experienced.
6. "Now we've got problems and I don't think we can solve them."
- "Bad Blood," 1989
To all you math, accounting, engineering majors out there, this one is for you.
7. "And when we go crashing down, we come back every time."
- "Style," 1989
Just when you think you are about to explode from stress, your roommates and friends talk you back to sanity.
8. "Magic, madness, heaven-sent."
- "Blank Space," 1989
Thank you, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and Roku!
9. "Take a deep breath, girl"
- "Fifteen," Fearless
This speaks for itself. Breathing exercises are key to college survival.
10. "And I never saw you coming, and I'll never be the same."
- "State of Grace," Red
Four weeks into the semester and you are hating yourself for the syllabus week shenanigans. Enough said.
11. "So it's gonna be forever, or it's gonna go down in flames."
- "Blank Space," 1989
Picked a major? Just kidding!
12. "Wish I'd never grown up."
- "Never Grow Up," Speak Now
And suddenly you wish you were back in high school.
13. "I'll spend forever wonderin' if you know I was enchanted to meet you."
- "Enchanted," Speak Now
When your random roommate from freshman year is the reason you survived, and you realize she deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.
