After nearly three years since her last album, Taylor Swift dropped her sixth release, "Reputation" on November 10th, and it probably contains the songs you’ve heard blasting all around campus the past few weeks. After her official transition to pop music on her last record, "1989,"Swift dives even deeper into a new electro-pop sound, experimenting with hip-hop and dance styles while still incorporating her signature catchy hooks and image-filled lyrics. Selling 700,000 copies in only its first day, "Reputation" is already one of the year’s best-selling albums.

Here’s a track-by-track ranking of one of Swift’s most successful releases!

15. Look What You Made Me Do

This is the lead single you’ve probably heard a million times on the radio, complete with a music video filled with zombies, snakes, and Taylor standing on a mountain of "old" Taylors (Just watch it)! Despite the track being the album’s lead single, LWYMMD takes on an almost cartoonish quality and is one of the weaker links on "Reputation."

14. Dancing with our Hands Tied

13. So it Goes…

12. Dress

11. King of my Heart

This electro-pop track features some of Swift’s best metaphorical lyrics, singing about someone who finally values her more than material things.

10. End Game (feat. Ed Sheeran and Future)

9. I Did Something Bad

This song takes on a darker tone as Swift faces her serial-dater reputation head-on. It’s an honest look at her past relationships with a booming chorus and grabbing lyrics.

8. Don’t Blame Me

7. Delicate

6. Call it What You Want

A sweet song about someone that has stayed with her despite a tarnished reputation, with Swift sings of a lover “fit like a daydream.”

5. This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things

A humorously honest track filled with disses toward a friend turned enemy, the song even features Swift laughing mid-song, “I can’t even say it with a straight face.”

4. Gorgeous

3. New Year’s Day

The perfect ending to the album, New Year’s Day returns Swift to her singer-songwriter roots in this ballad about a relationship that’s made to last.

2. …Ready for It?

1. Getaway Car

Containing all the best elements of a typical Swift song, Getaway Car is full of romantic heist-filled imagery, and it sounds like it’s straight out of an '80s teen movie.

One of the best parts about "Reputation" is that everyone is able to form their own opinions about what songs are the best and decide for themselves how to interpret the lyrics relating to Taylor’s life. Make sure to take a listen if you haven’t already — "Reputation" is thoroughly entertaining and may even surprise you!

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.
