Please stop this strange fixation on her.

Hating Taylor Swift is Ridiculous

Taylor Swift has somehow become a sensitive topic. Mentioning her name often gives me the same reaction I get if I mention something political. I don’t understand and will never understand why a harmless singer-songwriter is the topic of so much hate. Of course not everyone does and should have to like her music. Not everyone likes catchy pop tunes and songs that make you feel feelings your never knew you had, but hating her as a person (yes she is a human being with real human being feelings) is not something I tolerate.

At the age of 16, Swift released her self-titled debut album. Now, 10 years and 10 Grammy's later, she has released a total of five albums that have all been extremely successful. Swift writes all of her own songs and her third album, Speak Now, was entirely self-written. Swift has been the dosomething.org most charitable celebrity for four years in a row. Despite all of her success, she has somehow managed to stay extremely down-to-earth.


Taylor Swift has had eight boyfriends in the past 10 years. This is actually significantly less than most celebrities and actually significantly less than many people I know. However, even if it was 250 boyfriends it should not matter. People love to preach about stopping slut-shaming, but for some reason that never seems to apply to Taylor Swift.

Swift writes all of her own songs. Something many pop singers don’t do. This means that she uses inspiration from her own life and so often her songs are about her relationships. Why is this an issue? Do you know a pop singer who doesn’t sing about love and heartbreak? Swift is the only one who gets hate for it and I don’t understand why.

Recently, Swift has been getting a lot of hate for being a “white feminist.” I think of white feminism as white women trying to join the patriarchy instead of abolish it. White women who ignore the oppression and issues women of color face or step on women of color to try to achieve their own equality are white feminists. Taylor Swift has never done this. She is not extremely educated on all aspects of feminism, but that does not make her a white feminist. If you start attacking people for trying to be feminists doesn’t that ruin the whole purpose of feminism?

When a man, Kanye West, tried to take credit for Taylor Swift’s success she got angry and she got a lot of hate for it. I could talk about this topic for hours and give an exact play-by-play of the highly edited video that Kim Kardashian posted on her snapchat, but I won’t do that. Swift never denied the phone call happened, she never agreed to someone taking credit for her success, and she never got to listen to the song before it came out like West promised her.

The most recent garbage I am hearing about Taylor Swift is about the election. I am still confused how Taylor Swift and the election are related. There are people who are mad that Swift didn’t let Hillary Clinton pay her to post on social media to encourage her fans to vote for her. Taylor Swift is not a politician; she is an entertainer. Even if Taylor Swift had been Clinton’s loudest supporter, I highly doubt that would have changed the election.

Taylor Swift is more successful than you will ever be and if that makes you hate her than maybe you’re the one with the issues. Please stop being so fixated on hating her and let the woman live in peace.

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.
