I have listened to Taylor Swift for honestly as long as I can remember. I own all of her CDs, I would subscribe to multiple teen magazines just to collect posters of her to hang around my room. I went to my first Taylor Swift concert in 6th grade and it may have been the best day of my childhood. 6 albums and countless years later I am 19 years old and I still dance around to every T-Swift song like my 6th-grade self. Say what you want about her, but she was my idol and role model growing up.

If you have ever seen her in concert, you know Taylor puts on a show. All of her songs have an entire story behind them from certain points and relationships within her life. Now although there is almost a 10 year age difference between us, I listened to her songs and felt as though I was her, going through everything she was. I would sing her songs about middle school crushes I had and I felt like I was on a journey with her through life.

Growing up listening to Taylor's love life through songs showed me every side to relationships and breakups. I knew exactly what I wanted and I knew what to avoid doing. Her songs made me so happy and I just wanted to feel that way about someone so badly! Any of my friends in 7th or 8th grade will tell you that I wanted a boyfriend so bad. But I didn't just want any boyfriend, I wanted a real relationship. A relationship that makes you want to dance in the rain, love that makes sparks fly, someone who made me as happy as Taylor's songs did.

Somehow I did find that love, in 8th grade for that matter and we have been together ever since (five years and counting.) And as I grew up and became more mature so did Taylor and her music. So I can still listen to her music and relate to the amazing relationship I have and the adventure we have been on.

Because if Taylor Swift I have always believed in true love and how life altering it can be. I remained hopeful of that idea of love that I had at a young age and I found it. I never gave up on him and even though I may have been hurt a few times, we've always worked through everything we've gone through and that's why we are still here today. One of my childhood best friends can relate to this as well. We were Swifty bffs and although she has been through more relationships than I have, she still remained a hopeless romantic as well and never gave up on that idea of love that Taylor painted so perfectly. Today she is in a happy and healthy relationship and it makes me so happy to see a fellow hopeless romantic find her end game.

To all the other hopeless romantics out there, whether you can't find 'the one' or you keep getting hurt, please remain hopeful. Your person is out there, even if it is beyond your wildest dreams. You will find your love story.

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.

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.
