When you graduate and go through a few years of college, you realize so much as changed for you since you become an adult, or some form of an adult.

1. In High School: You're counting how many days left until summer vacation.

2. In College: You're counting down how many days left to fix the grades in your classes.


3. In High School: Spending days at the pool and nights at the lake.

4. In College: Taking summer classes and working small jobs to pay for next semester.


5. In High School: Working as a lifeguard or cashier to have some extra cash.


6. In College: Working drive-thru at McDonald's, being a sales girl at the mall, and a part-time dog walker to earn cash.


7. In High School: Making plans with all your friends to hang out.

8. In College: See three of your friends at Walmart and act like you haven't seen each other in five years.


9. In High School: Mopping cause you're stuck at home with just your fridge, Netflix and working air conditioning.

10. College: Coming back home to free food, fresh bed, and no cash required laundry machine.


11. In High School: You and your mom spend the weekend back to school shopping.


12. In College: Swing by Dollar General to get some notebooks and a new pair of headphones.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you.
