I've Been Going To Taylor Swift Concerts For 8 years And It's My Greatest Love Story

From Fearless to Reputation, I've seen it all

I've Been Going To Taylor Swift Concerts For 8 years And It's My Greatest Love Story

In 2007 I saw the music video for Teardrops on My Guitar while I was getting ready for third grade and Taylor Swift instantly became my favorite singer.

In 2010 I saw Taylor Swift live for the first time for her Fearless Tour at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. It was my first concert and I could not have been more excited. That just so happened to be her first ever solo stadium show (and it was sold out!) and it is a day that she talks about constantly even now.

Over the next 8 years, I ended up seeing her in concert 4 more times for every other album when her tour stopped at Gillette Stadium. These days were the highlights of my summer and some of the greatest memories I have growing up.

Over the years my sister, her best friend, and our cousin have made fun shirts for every show and it's become a tradition that I love so much. I have all of the iron on shirts in my closet. They all have each of our favorite lyrics from the album on the back and now they're a great time capsule to have forever.

The first time I saw Taylor Swift was just before my 12th birthday when she was only 20 and this July when I saw her for the 5th time I was 20. I've grown up listening to Taylor Swift and seeing her in concert. She's just as much a part of my childhood and teen years as anything else.

I've seen her grow up and evolve. I've seen all of her eras and haircuts. I was there from her country to pop music transition. I've seen the media turn on her and fall back in love with her time and time again. I've seen her with good boyfriends and bad boyfriends. I've seen her single and powerful. I've seen her build her entire empire from scratch.

Taylor Swift has been a constant in my life for the past 11 years which isn't something I can say about a lot of people.

I hope one day I can take my daughter to see her in concert so that she can experience the magic that is seeing Taylor Swift live. I can't wait to be able to say that I saw her at the very first stadium show of her career and stuck by her ever since.

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.
