Listen, some days I'm not her biggest fan either, but... I don't understand why there's always so much slander against her.

It seemed she became #problematic around the time "Red" was released in 2012. Then "Shake It Off" came out and her dancing was all wrong and she appropriated ballerinas and ohmigod Jenny, she sucks!!

I don't know. Taylor came into my life when I was 12 years old and she hasn't left. Sure, I stan her and yes, I don't agree with all the decisions she makes, but how can you agree with everything a celebrity does when you ... don't really know their entire life?

It's so strange how fans and #RealPeople place so much pressure on celebrities nowadays. If they're not commenting on current events, they aren't woke. If they aren't marching down the street with a sign protesting the president, they must have voted for him right? ...But isn't that the same with some of you?

Sure, "Look What You Made Me Do" isn't my favorite Taylor song (let's talk more about "All Too Well" and the 10-minute long version that exists), and yeah I'm excited as hell to hear the rest of the album (we Certified Swiftiesâ„¢ know that this isn't exactly the sound she has in mind). Maybe it's petty bringing up old drama, but I think it's dope she's reclaiming her snake nickname (that's sooo "Blank Space" of her). She's a singer-songwriter, she's supposed to sing and write about her real life...what should she sing about? Cats??

And truthfully, the new single is just...funny. Everyone stating problematic things about her off of a 3 minute song brings her more publicity - why else is the song #1 in the US? The fact that people who state they don't care about her that are tweeting about her is so funny. I love fake news! (Don't worry, I've been sending funny and offensive tweets about her to all my friends too.)

Since I wrote this, her video was released, and if you ask me, I died. That was truthfully the funniest thing I've ever seen. Especially the last 30 seconds with 15 different Taylors all acting catty and calling each other out. After watching the video numerous times and cross-referencing Tumblr posts, I found all the tiny details she put into the video. The girl is hella smart, you can't deny that. From the clamoring Taylors trying to get to the top to the name of the company called "Stream Co." referencing her letter to Apple Music, the girl nailed down everything. Iconic.

Another aspect about this is that people are mad about her marketing, but her team trying this special Verified Fan Tickets from Ticketmaster is genius. I get it, it's dumb to make fans pay money so they get priority tickets...but don't fans typically preorder albums and buy merchandise when it comes out? Everyone's favorite band does this. How is what she's doing any different?

I understand the drama and I understand why people are mad. But, can't you focus on something other than a 3-minute song that people are mostly over by now? And as my friend said,

It's Taylor Swift. She's changing herself. Get over it.

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.

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.
