Leave it to Taylor to describe this fun, messy, and mostly stress filled adventure we call college.

1. “Anything you put your mind to and add your imagination into, can make your life a lot better and a lot more fun”

This applies to everything else in college except that really hard class you’re in right now.

2. “In life, you learn lessons. And sometimes you learn them the hard way. Sometimes you learn them too late.”

Like showing up to class and realizing that it’s cancelled but you already made the trek across campus

3. “Just because something is over doesn’t mean it wasn’t incredibly beautiful. Because another lesson I’ve learned is not all stories have a happy ending and you have to learn to deal with that.”

This one’s really personal and deep. My story is that I had a really great night of sleep this past Sunday night and it was incredibly beautiful, but I also had to face Monday and that was not my happy ending because I had to deal with yet another Monday.

4. “Life is a ruthless game unless you play it good and play it right.”

I’ve learned that if I make the right friends in my classes that are nice enough to sign me in when I don’t show up is how you play the game good and right

5. “Life is like walking, you take one step at a time.”

Except when you’re really bad at walking and trip on your way to class one morning

6. “Life isn’t how to survive the storm, it’s about how to dance in the rain.”

But not at 8am when you’re trying to walk to class and you show up looking like you just got out of the shower

7. “The trials and tribulations in your life make you stronger.”

I relate to this on a deep level because completing my nursing major is a trial and tribulation in itself

8. “The world doesn’t owe you anything. You have to work for everything you get, and you have to appreciate every bit of success the world gives you.”

I’d like to personally thank not only Jesus but also quizlet for my success in college this far

9. “Being fearless isn’t being 100% not fearful, it’s being terrified, but you jump anyway.”

I’m not sure if this applies when I wanted to jump off that bridge Monday morning instead of going to class.

10. “Giving up doesn’t always mean you are weak, sometimes you’re just strong enough to let go.”

I will give up that fact that I do not have a 4.0 GPA

11. “If somebody hurts you, it’s okay to cry a river but remember to build a bridge and get over it.”

I actively take steps toward recovering from the hurt that I’ve experienced as a result of the grades I got last semester in all my classes

12. “I’ve questioned everything about myself, every step of the way. You have to have the same amount of fear and self-doubt as you do hope and blind optimism.”

I ask myself multiple times a day as to why I’m a nursing major but then I remember it’s FTK

13. “I wish teenagers can filter through songs instead of turning to drugs and alcohol.”

I also turn to the best food they have in commons that day, but I’ve also learned that I’ll probably be fat if I continue to keep up this unhealthy lifestyle.

14. “Live your life like you’re 80 looking back on your teenager years. You know if your dad calls you at eight in the morning and asks if you want to go out for breakfast. As a teenager you’re like no, I want to sleep. But as an eighty-year-old looking back you have that breakfast with your dad. It just little things like that, that helped me when I was a teenager in terms of making choices you won’t regret.”

Will compromise my sleep schedule for free food and always remember the times that I did.

15. “I feel in my music I can be a rebel. I can say things I wouldn’t say in real life.”

Alcohol. Enough said

16. “Nobody in country music “made it” the same way. It’s all different. There’s not blueprint for success, and sometimes you just have to work at it.”

Maybe changing my major for the 10th time will help me find some success in life.

17. "If you’re horrible to me, I’m going to write a song about it and you won’t like it. That’s how I operate.”

Stay tuned for the latest article about you.

18. “I have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to love. No one does! There’s no pattern to it, except that it happens to all of us, of course. I can’t plan for it; I can’t predict how it will end up.”

I can relate but more about my life and not love

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
