Taylor Swift Is Right, We Need To Calm Down

But I've learned a lesson that stressin' and obsessin' 'bout somebody else is no fun

Taylor Swift you need to calm down

I think lately, we could all learn a thing or two about calming down. What better way to showcase that than Taylor Swifts new song, "You Need To Calm Down". We're all so caught up on things that we are offended by and don't like, that we are not even enjoying the things that we do.

"And I ain't tryna mess with your self-expression"

We're so obsessed with what everyone else is doing and what it is that they're doing that we don't agree with. It is definitely time we start letting people enjoy their life and enjoy our own. Who are you to take someone else's happiness away? Is it worth sacrificing your own?

"You need to calm down, you're being too loud"

Instead of speaking up against someone else, what if we spoke up with them? Imagine the world we could live in if everyone was a littler nicer to each other. If we came together for a common cause instead of picking each other apart of about ones that don't even matter in the greater scheme of things. Didn't your momma ever tell you if you didn't have anything nice to say, to not say it at all?

"Like can you not step on our gowns?"

I use to focus so much on what other people were doing and whether or not I liked it or not, but I realized that it was taking away from my own happiness. Other people are really just out there living their life and I have no place to make judgments about it. I have tried switching up my mindset and focusing on the good and positive things, what I do like and what I do want to be involved in. I think we should all strive to have a mindset like that, we will be a lot happier in the end.

"We all know now we all got crowns"

If someone else is living a life you don't agree with, guess what? It's not your life and you don't have to life it. We're allowed to be happy and do the things that make us happy, unapologetically. Calm down and focus on your own life and happiness, instead of taking away someone else's.

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.
