Enough is enough, here is a full analysis on Taylor Swift's hottest new single - and I mean, it. Is. Hot. - Swift first dropped her debut "Look What You Made Me Do" to introduce her newest, and possibly best, album titled, Reputation.

Reputation opens with the line, "Knew he was killer first time I saw him"; obviously, this can reference anyone, but out of all of her exes who was the one who continuously broke hearts? There are two evident suspects: Harry Styles and Joe Alwyn, but then again, why would she be singing negatively about her current beau? There are many questions and thoughts to ponder over, so let's go deeper.

We all know that Styles is a heartthrob and he seems to break many hearts, but so does Swift, so could it be safe to assume that this is perhaps Taylor Swift's own reputation, but in a male's perspective? I think we can take Joe Alwyn off the table, because he is her current boyfriend, and nonetheless, it would be odd to sing negatively about a current boyfriend.

Swift and Styles had an interesting romance, although it was short lived, it still does not live up to Taylor squared. Anyhow, in her following line, "But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom", I believe she is responding to Styles' song "Two Ghost's". This is more than likely her calling Styles out saying that she could hold him for leading women on and dumping them before he dives too far in.

The song goes on from there, with small, hidden messages that throw out clues from their island getaway back in early 2013, to encounters with the press on Styles breaking hearts and leaving the victim on the ground. Swift's new single is one for the books, and this should also be one to not only annotate and decipher meaning, but to enjoy the story.

Swift's titled album, Reputation, will be released November 10, 2017.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
