A Letter to the Taylor Swift Hater

Dear Taylor Swift hater,

You've made your voice known. I know how you feel about Taylor Swift. In fact, the world knows. You shout it from the mountains how much you can't stand her. You scream it just so everyone knows that you don't think she speaks up about anything. We all hear you. Even in the silence, we know that you're lurking and waiting to say something else about another human being.

You call her vile names. You say things that are so awful that I wonder if you'd ever have the courage to say it to her face. Would you ever say it to her face? I won't repeat the words you say on your Facebook or your Twitter. Their too horrid and I'd rather not say them. All I know is that you believe that you are so right in hating her. You believe that you are standing up for feminism or whatever else for calling her awful things or claiming that the trial she is currently in is the result of her being a horrible person. You claim these things. The worst part about it is that you claim these things about another human being. Do you even bother to put yourself in their shoes? Do you ever wonder to yourself, "what if it were me? Would I want people to say these things about me?"

You bash her for writing what's on her heart. You hate her for being vulnerable in her lyrics and for being an honest songwriter. But here you are listening to Ed Sheeran or Selena Gomez who do the exact same thing Taylor is doing. But you don't hate them. Don't you see the double standard?

Also, can you please explain to me how you could hate someone so much? All she's ever done was be honest with her voice and write really great songs. She's really good at it and pretty successful, to say the least. So, enlighten everyone who is wondering this: what is it about Taylor Swift that inspires grown adults to sit down at a computer and writing scathing comments that I'd rather not repeat?


How dare Taylor write a song about a breakup. How dare she speak up about sexual assault. How dare she for being a human being. I mean, really? That's essentially what you're saying when you rip her apart for every little thing she does.

What did a 27-year old songwriter ever do to deserve being called such a vile names? What did she ever do to anyone who hates her so much? She's a human being who literally can't do anything right in your eyes.

But in fact, Taylor does SPEAK up and she has a heart. She's a human being. Can I say that enough? She's a person who loves her fans to the point where she has invited them into her home, has donated to countless organizations and charities, and has spoken up about important things through her music and through being just the kind of person that she is.




While you are busy hating her, remember this:

Taylor is someone's daughter. She is someone's friend. She is someone's role model. She is someone's hero. She is a HUMAN BEING who is just living out her dream in a humble and graceful manner. She doesn't even write crude material or go out drinking at the clubs late at night. In fact, what she does is hang out with her friends, spend time with her cats and watch Law and Order. Does that sound like a vile human to you?




So hater, next time you think about hating on Taylor, think about these things: What if she were your child? What if it were you? Would you be able to take the heat? Would you want to be called such awful things day in and day out? Do you tolerate such bullying?


Next time you think about hating on Taylor for a stupid reason, don't do it. Push your chair away from your computer and go hug those that you love and be grateful for the life you have. Push away the hate you have in your heart and realize that the words you say really can hurt someone.

But if you choose not to, well, I have a message for you:


Sincerely,

a Taylor Swift supporter

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
