PSA: Taylor Swift's Music is Now on Spotify

And it's bringing back all the feels.

PSA: Taylor Swift's Music is Now on Spotify

My Spotify account flashed with a notification: one of my friends was listening to her Taylor Swift playlist. I paused for a moment as I realized that Taylor Swift's music was now available on Spotify.

Like all young girls, I used to be obsessed with Taylor Swift's music. I loved it, and I would listen to it ad nauseam. Now, seeing that her music was available on Spotify, I excitedly clicked on one of the songs. I just wanted to indulge myself with a taste of her tunes again. And, like in her song "Come Back, Be Here," this was "when the feeling [sank] in." I couldn't just listen to one; soon, I was on a journey down memory lane. Each line in each song brought me back to newfound memories that I discovered along the trip.

I remembered my fifth grade best friend who made me a Taylor Swift CD. On it, she had put songs that I had never heard of but quickly learned to love. I popped it into my radio, and I played it every night as I was falling asleep.

There were eighteen songs on that CD, but I would usually only get to the first four before I actually fell asleep. Like Swift's song, "Breathe," I knew those four songs "like the back of my hand." All of my friends and I idolized her; she was our "Super Star." I knew I would "Forever and Always" love her songs. I memorized all the lyrics rapidly; it wasn't difficult because I was constantly listening to her songs on repeat.

I remembered the summer of fifth grade, going into sixth grade. My mom was pregnant with my brother, and I was enjoying the hot, humid Michigan summer. I loved to bike around everywhere. I had tennis practice at the neighborhood park, and I would always bike there with my headphones in my ears. Not surprisingly, the only thing I listened to was Taylor Swift's albums. At the time, she only had three albums out, and Speak Now was the latest hit music. I spent the summer begging my parents to let me go to her concert; it was the first concert I had ever been to. I felt like it was "The Best Day" of my life, and I was in an "Enchanted" state of mind for weeks afterward.

I remembered when Taylor Swift came out with her "Red" album; I had been on the edge of my seat for months in anticipation. My eyes teemed with excitement as I dragged my parents to Target the day the album was released. I wanted my hands on a crisp CD as soon as humanly possible. I wanted one of those CDs to be "Mine" so I could listen to any song on repeat whenever, wherever. As soon as I got home, I popped the CD into my radio and listened to it while laying on the floor of my room in pure peacefulness. I knew the lyrics of every song "All Too Well" soon enough.

Now I am sitting here, typing with Taylor Swift music playing in the background. I've been listening to her music on Spotify for a few days now, and I'm still brought back to my childhood with each lyric. I can truly "Never Grow Up" just by listening to my old favorite songs.

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.
