Taylor Swift's 'ME!' Is A Glorious Tribute To Self Love

From addressing her cats as her daughters to pink fountain dresses, Taylor Swift has exceeded our expectations once again.

We've seen country Taylor, semi-mature-future-dreaming Taylor, pop Taylor and snake-Taylor, and just when we thought there were no more levels of her to uncover, Taylor Swift blesses us with a transcended self-loving Taylor that the world never knew it needed.

Public opinion on Taylor Swift is extremely polarized. People either absolutely adore her and would die for her, or they find her cringy to the max. And that's reasonable. Some people don't like poppy or naive songs about love, and others don't approve of her transition from country to pop. But regardless of all these perspectives before, we can't ignore the fact that "ME!" is extravagant, fun, and colorful in the most wholesome way possible.

No matter how much hate Taylor Swift gets, her songwriting skill is a force to be reckoned with and her personality never fails to shine through her videos. In this particular one, Swift and Brendon Urie manage to sing about themselves without sounding narcissistic, sad, or boastful. Gone are the days of a perfect innocent girl or an evil snakey manipulator. Instead, we're presented with a human being who's wonderful in his and her own way, with their own flaws and struggles included. This is a song about a relationship between two flawed people in the most positive way possible, and at the same time, it's completely applicable to anyone in the world, relationship or not.

This is the anthem that every angsty, insecure teenager and honestly everyone having an off day needed to hear - you're not perfect, you'll get angry, you'll get into fights with people, and you have flaws that are different from everyone else. But all of these things are what makes you YOU, so be proud and show the world who you are in all your rainbows, colors, and quirks. And she's right, there'll never be someone else like you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
