An Open Letter to Taylor Swift

I'm still your fan.

An Open Letter to Taylor Swift
Louisville

Dear Taylor,

I'm not writing to say that I'm no longer a fan of yours, or that I hate your guts. I'm writing to say that I'm still your fan and I still respect you, regardless of your "bad blood" with Kim and Kanye. Some people are so quick to forget that we all make mistakes and we're all bound to mess up at some point. People have put you under a microscope. They are watching your every move, waiting for you to mess up. Waiting for you to lash out at Kim and Kanye. Waiting to jump onto whatever you do next, and tear you to shreds in the meantime. My big question for these people is so what? We're all human. We all mess up. We all will make mistakes, and, at times, act like the victim. I hate to break it to them all, but that is human nature, and they're out of their minds if they think they're not capable of it.

If anything, this "bad blood" shows that you are human, and not some perfect celebrity who can do no wrong. For years you have held up this image of perfection, making onlookers envious of you and your squad. It's refreshing to see that you do make mistakes, and you do mess up. It makes you more relatable to your fans. You have such a huge fan base, and if someone is truly your fan, they'll stick by you through this. For the past ten years that you have been producing music, you have done so much for people around the world. You visit patients in hospitals, go to fans' weddings, donate to numerous charities, invite fans to meet you backstage for free at your concerts, and so much more. I cannot think of a celebrity who is more selfless. I refuse to forget about all that you have done to make someone smile, brighten a person's day, or to help a person in need. And for those who are so quick to forget all you've done, they were never your fan to begin with.

You have a strong head on your shoulder, and you've got fans and people who love you. No one is perfect, even celebrities. I'm still on your side, and I'm confident that many other fans are, too. You're not alone.

With love,

Your fans

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
