Be careful, with the release of her newest album, you could be next

I'm here to discuss a major issue in today's society. The issue that is Taylor Swift. More specifically, her music.

With her new album about to drop, and four singles already out, I'm here to announce I have been brainwashed by Taylor Swift herself.

I consider myself a Taylor Swift fan, say what you want about her but she's involved in many charities and seems to be a genuinely nice person. I mean the woman hosted a party for her fans with the release of her 1989 album. It's hard to come by such a down to earth A-list celebrity.

My problem is not with her as a person, but her as a songwriter. Because she's too good. I know almost every word to almost all her songs and go on Taylor Swift binges where I'll listen to only her music for days at a time. She writes lyrical cocaine. Meaning, I don't even like some of her songs, but I can't stop listening to them.

Take "Look What You Made Me Do" for example, her first of the singles she released for her newest album, Reputation. The chorus makes me picture an oversized man dancing in a way that he solely moves his upper body in a circular, shimmying, motion. (see below for reference, but picture something even more uncomfortable to look at) But I constantly find myself humming it, and certainly don't change the radio station when it comes on.


Exhibit B is one of her more recent singles "Gorgeous". Lets all be honest. Lyrically, this song SUCKS. It's corny and childish. Ex. the entire chorus and the part where she says something about going to home to her cats. But the beat is one of her catchiest. It pains me to admit, I listen to this at least once a day and know all the words: Lyrical cocaine in the purest form.

The other two of her four singles from this album have a hint of the old Taylor, giving me hope that she isn't really dead. For that I am eternally grateful because I'm counting on hearing some of that "sit in bed on a rainy day looking out a window missing someone you never actually dated" kind of song, like "White Horse" or "Tear Drops on my Guitar".

The problem is, even if this album isn't exactly up to par, and the old Taylor that I know and love, that sings about heart breaks, and love is dead, I'm still going to listen to her latest release, and I know I'm still going to learn every word. It's because somehow she brainwashed me. It's as if her songs are a pocket watch on a chain being swung back and forth hypnotizing me, and there's nothing I can do about it.

So great job Taylor. You can do no wrong in my eyes.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
