Congratulations world, Taylor Swift is on Spotify.

This is something that has changed my life in a major way because it brought so many great throwback jams back into my listening rotation. Of course, we all love more recent bangers like Bad Blood and Blank Space, but T-Swift has been rocking since 2006.

In honor of everyone's favorite sassy songwriter, let's take a walk down memory lane.

1. Teardrops On My Guitar

Odds are, this is the first Taylor Swift song that ever graced your young ears. We all imagined we had our own Drew and our own guitars to cry on, and we all fell in love.

2. Our Song

If you didn't love this song in fifth grade, we definitely would not have been friends. Because of this song, we all know that the deepest kind of love is the kind that you write a song about on an old napkin while you're riding shotgun with your hair undone in the front seat of his car.

3. Picture To Burn

Definitely not the most famous T-Swift hit, but still amazing. Is there any other insult better for an old boyfriend than to call him "just another picture to burn"?

4. Hey Stephen

Giphy

The perfect song for a boy-crazy tween girl...I might have been slightly obsessed with it for a few months.

5. Fifteen

I can't say that Taylor Swift at fifteen and me at fifteen were all that similar. For comparison purposes, above there's a video of fifteen-year-old Taylor

And fifteen-year-old me:

Basically twins. But still, fifteen-year-old me (and twenty-year-old me) totally love Fifteen.

6. Love Story

When I first heard this song, I was in sixth grade and it was the height of romance. It's certainly not an accurate portrayal of Romeo and Juliet, but it's much more fun.

7. You Belong with Me

This song can probably be pointed to as when my girl really took off. Of course, this was the music video that beat Beyonce's Single Ladies and led to the Kanye/T-Swift beef. But even before the most memorable thing to ever happen at the VMA's occurred, You Belong With Me inspired "girls next door" everywhere.

8. Speak Now

Giphy

Even though this song was also the title of T's third album, it's a song that I completely forgot about until a few days ago when it came up on my Spotify. Since then, I've basically had it on repeat. Am I listening to it right now? Hell yes.

9. Never Grow Up

When I first heard this song I thought, "Okay, it's a nice song." When I heard this song after I moved out of my childhood home and was living on my own at school, I sobbed. I don't recommend that you play this for your mom when she's feeling emotional.

10. Mine

This song was constantly blasted on the bus ride home from volleyball games when I was in eighth grade. Once again, Taylor Swift gave thirteen-year-olds a new definition of what love should be: taking on the world together and a drawer of my things at your place.

11. Mean

If you ever experienced any kind of injustice since the year 2010, you probably sang Mean in the shower that night. You come for the low-key sass of the chorus, but stay for when the song really crescendos and T-Swift belts out that the person who wronged her is "a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life, and mean." It really escalates quickly.

T-Swift, we thank you for your years of bangers. I proudly say that I have been jamming out to your songs for over ten years now. Thank you for finally jumping on the Spotify train; my road trips will be so much better now.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

RBF, or resting b*tch face, is a serious condition that many people suffer from worldwide. Suffers are often bombarded with daily questions such as "Are you OK?" and "Why are you so mad?" If you have RBF, you've probably had numerous people tell you to "just smile!"

While this question trend can get annoying, there are a couple of pros to having RBF.

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
