Taylor Swift is wise beyond her years and has gone through more relationships than I can count. Therefore, whenever I need some words of advice, she's the person I turn to. If only Taylor Swift and I were close enough to sit in her kitchen, make cookies and pet her cats so I could hear these wise words in person. ... Considering that's pretty close to impossible, yet still a dream, here are some of the greatest quotes said and sung by T-Swift.

1. "You actually will move on and you actually will be fine and then that's when he may actually miss how incredible and special you are."

This is so true. Many people say that a girl will feel the heart ache and pain of a relationship ending right away, but soon she will realize that she's better off. Right when she get's over it, the guy will realize everything he's missing.

2. "You and I both know there's got to be some greater storyline for you than 'girl get's heart broken, was sad forever.' I think a nice one would be, 'girl gets heart broken, was sad for a while but in her heartbreak she found freedom, friends and the ability to look back and laugh at all she'd learned.'"

Thank you Taylor for showing us the bright side of a break up. You will spend time with friends watching chick flicks and eating ice cream while you will laugh about your stupid exes. Doesn't it feel wonderful to be free to do what you want?

3. "No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind."

Proof of Taylor Swift's kind heart and the way that she treats her fans.

4. "I think every girl's dream is to find a bad boy at the right time, when he wants to not be bad anymore."


5. "You have to be happy with who you are and the choices you make. If you don't like yourself you'll never be truly happy."

6. "I think most of us fear reaching the end of our life and looking back regretting the moments we didn't speak up. When we didn't say 'I love you.' When we should have said 'I'm sorry.' There's a time for silence, and there's a time for waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel, and you so clearly know what you need to say, I don't think you should wait. I think you should speak now."

Taylor said it all!

7. "I have to believe in fairytales and I have to believe in love."

8. "Words can break someone into a million pieces, but they can also put them back together. I hope you use yours for good, because the only words you'll regret more than the ones left unsaid are the ones you use to intentionally hurt someone."

I think that Taylor Swift is so inspiring because she's against bullying and will be the first to stand up for someone. She truly does have a kind spirit.

9."I'd rather be at home and eat ice cream than go out and get wasted."

There is so much truth in this simple statement. Choosing to stay home and chill is often the best option.

10. "Don't you worry your pretty little mind, people throw rocks and things that shine."


11. "What I've learned is not to change who you are because eventually you're going to run out of things to become."


12. "You have people come into your life shockingly and surprisingly. You have losses you never thought you'd experienced. You have rejection and you have to learn how to get up the next day and go on with it."

Preach.

13. "...the rest of the world was in black and white but we were in screaming color."

This relates to every relationship and how at first it seems perfect and nothing can get in the way. Cherish those moments because eventually you will have your first fight or things might get tough, but those that are meant to be will make it through.

14. "We're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time."

15. "Say you'll remember me, standing in a nice dress staring at the sunset, babe. Red lips and rosy cheeks, say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams."

This may be the wish of every girl: To know that the guy they are crushing on or have cut ties with will be thinking of them at their best times.

16. "Darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream."

Well, there you have it. Sixteen quotes and lyrics from the girl who has changed our lives for the better. Thank you Taylor for the amazing concerts, inspiring outfits, music to blast during car rides and all of the life lessons. Taylor Swift is a great role model and example of how to stay true to yourself during fame, heart ache and confusing times.

8 Reasons Why My Dad Is the Most Important Man In My Life

Forever my number one guy.

Growing up, there's been one consistent man I can always count on, my father. In any aspect of my life, my dad has always been there, showing me unconditional love and respect every day. No matter what, I know that my dad will always be the most important man in my life for many reasons.

1. He has always been there.

Literally. From the day I was born until today, I have never not been able to count on my dad to be there for me, uplift me and be the best dad he can be.

2. He learned to adapt and suffer through girly trends to make me happy.

I'm sure when my dad was younger and pictured his future, he didn't think about the Barbie pretend pageants, dressing up as a princess, perfecting my pigtails and enduring other countless girly events. My dad never turned me down when I wanted to play a game, no matter what and was always willing to help me pick out cute outfits and do my hair before preschool.

3. He sends the cutest texts.

Random text messages since I have gotten my own cell phone have always come my way from my dad. Those randoms "I love you so much" and "I am so proud of you" never fail to make me smile, and I can always count on my dad for an adorable text message when I'm feeling down.

4. He taught me how to be brave.

When I needed to learn how to swim, he threw me in the pool. When I needed to learn how to ride a bike, he went alongside me and made sure I didn't fall too badly. When I needed to learn how to drive, he was there next to me, making sure I didn't crash.

5. He encourages me to best the best I can be.

My dad sees the best in me, no matter how much I fail. He's always there to support me and turn my failures into successes. He can sit on the phone with me for hours, talking future career stuff and listening to me lay out my future plans and goals. He wants the absolute best for me, and no is never an option, he is always willing to do whatever it takes to get me where I need to be.

6. He gets sentimental way too often, but it's cute.

Whether you're sitting down at the kitchen table, reminiscing about your childhood, or that one song comes on that your dad insists you will dance to together on your wedding day, your dad's emotions often come out in the cutest possible way, forever reminding you how loved you are.


7. He supports you, emotionally and financially.

Need to vent about a guy in your life that isn't treating you well? My dad is there. Need some extra cash to help fund spring break? He's there for that, too.

8. He shows me how I should be treated.

Yes, my dad treats me like a princess, and I don't expect every guy I meet to wait on me hand and foot, but I do expect respect, and that's exactly what my dad showed I deserve. From the way he loves, admires, and respects me, he shows me that there are guys out there who will one day come along and treat me like that. My dad always advises me to not put up with less than I deserve and assures me that the right guy will come along one day.

For these reasons and more, my dad will forever be my No. 1 man. I love you!

From One Nerd To Another

My contemplation of the complexities between different forms of art.

Aside from reading Guy Harrison's guide to eliminating scientific ignorance called, "At Least Know This: Essential Science to Enhance Your Life" and, "The Breakthrough: Immunotherapy and the Race to Cure Cancer" by Charles Graeber, an informative and emotional historical account explaining the potential use of our own immune systems to cure cancer, I read articles and worked on my own writing in order to keep learning while enjoying my winter break back in December. I also took a trip to the Guggenheim Museum.


I wish I was artistic. Generally, I walk through museums in awe of what artists can do. The colors and dainty details simultaneously inspire me and remind me of what little talent I posses holding a paintbrush. Walking through the Guggenheim was no exception. Most of the pieces are done by Hilma af Klint, a 20th-century Swedish artist expressing her beliefs and curiosity about the universe through her abstract painting. I was mostly at the exhibit to appease my mom (a K - 8th-grade art teacher), but as we continued to look at each piece and read their descriptions, I slowly began to appreciate them and their underlying meanings.


I like writing that integrates symbols, double meanings, and metaphors into its message because I think that the best works of art are the ones that have to be sought after. If the writer simply tells you exactly what they were thinking and how their words should be interpreted, there's no room for imagination. An unpopular opinion in high school was that reading "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne was fun. Well, I thought it was. At the beginning of the book, there's a scene where Hawthorne describes a wild rosebush that sits just outside of the community prison. As you read, you are free to decide whether it's an image of morality, the last taste of freedom and natural beauty for criminals walking toward their doom, or a symbol of the relationship between the Puritans with their prison-like expectations and Hester, the main character, who blossoms into herself throughout the novel. Whichever one you think it is doesn't matter, the point is that the rosebush can symbolize whatever you want it to. It's the same with paintings - they can be interpreted however you want them to be.


As we walked through the building, its spiral design leading us further and further upwards, we were able to catch glimpses of af Klint's life through the strokes of her brush. My favorite of her collections was one titled, "Evolution." As a science nerd myself, the idea that the story of our existence was being incorporated into art intrigued me. One piece represented the eras of geological time through her use of spirals and snails colored abstractly. She clued you into the story she was telling by using different colors and tones to represent different periods. It felt like reading "The Scarlet Letter" and my biology textbook at the same time. Maybe that sounds like the worst thing ever, but to me it was heaven. Art isn't just art and science isn't just science. Aspects of different studies coexist and join together to form something amazing that will speak to even the most untalented patron walking through the museum halls.
