8 Reasons Why T. Swift's "22" Should Be Your 2017 Anthem
WeHeartIt

As a newly 22-year-old female, you best believe Taylor Swift's "22" has been my anthem since the eve of my birthday. I use to listen to this song in high school and laugh because — who wants to dress up like a hipster and make fun of their exes at 22? LOL, not me. I had this idea that by the time I was 22 I would be in a loving long-term relationship, ready to graduate college and move in together. I would also be getting eight hours of sleep at night, I would have a bomb group of friends, a sick wardrobe, a ton of money, and overall I would have my sh*t together. Now that I'm actually 22 I spend most evenings trying to decide how much food and/or liquor I can consume before I puke. That might not be the type of evening my girl Taylor Swift had in mind, but here are eight reasons I'm making "22" my single girl anthem of 2017 and you should too:

8. It's the perfect song to dance like Taylor too.

Which let's be honest, we all look awkward AF like this half the time anyway.

7. "It feels like the perfect night for breakfast at midnight."

The best time to eat breakfast is anytime.

6. According to T, it's also the perfect night to make fun of our exes.

Being petty is my specialty.

5. Whether you're 22 or not, you're most certainly "happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time."

22 is a strange age. We're happy because we are free from a lot of BS, but confused because we are lonely and don't know what's going on.

4. "Tonight's the night we forget about the deadlines."

"Sorry professor I can't make it to class today. I got drunk last night and lost my shoes, and my phone, and my bra... and my dignity."

3. You look like bad news... so naturally I gotta have you.

We're all guilty of it. The boy we know is totally going to destroy our heart, but for some reason, we just have to have 'em.

2. "Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you."

As long as you surround yourself with good friends, 22 won't be that bad.

1. Deep down inside we all just want to be Taylor Swift.

I mean how awesome is she? Definite goals.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
