Taylor Swift Constantly Receives Negativity, But Never The Recognition She Deserves

She had a bad "Reputation."

Taylor Swift has received negativity throughout her whole career. The biggest criticism she has received was that she dated a lot of men and wrote songs about them. She was always made out to be some attention-seeking b*tch.

Meanwhile, male artists were NEVER questioned for how many relationships or hookups they had. The degrading of women in their songs were never questioned and their character was never attacked.

Don't get me wrong, I also wondered why she had so many relationships and whether or not her writing about the men she dated was wrong. A few years into high school, I realized that I was her, and so were most girls.

Whenever something went wrong with a guy, even if we had only had a thing for a week or two, I hurt. I used writing as my outlet for my emotions so I began to write about them. Poems, lyrics, quotes, stories, whatever. I just had to write.

Taylor's job was to write. She was paid millions to write. What better thing to write about than one's own experiences? Not only did writing those songs get her through the tough parts of her dating life, but she also provided the perfect lyrics for anyone going through the same feelings.

I don't think there's a single girl who didn't belt out "You Belong With Me" after she found out her crush liked a girl who was cheer captain, while she was stuck on the bleachers.

Her lyrics, her songs, they helped people.

Taylor's first album came out when she was a young teenager. From then on, as her popularity grew, she was constantly in the spotlight.

Finding love is hard. Taylor never let her heartbreaks stop her from trying to find it. If you've tried dating, you know that sometimes it ends within a week. Luckily for you, you can have a "thing" with someone without many people knowing.

Every fling or relationship that Taylor had was out there for the whole world to see. Think about how you would feel if every fling was seen and monitored by the whole world. I know for a fact that I wouldn't want all my relationship-attempts public for the whole world to see.

In addition to flings, every single move and word by Taylor was scrutinized by the media and society. Think about all of the bad decisions you've made, are you any better than her? Not really.

Every single celebrity has his or her own struggles and mistakes, but only a few are attacked for them. Do you know which celebrities get attacked? The ones who live their lives without caring what that looks like to others. That's what Taylor did. While all of her moves were being criticized, she kept doing what she does best. She created her songs, went on tour, and made millions.

So instead of criticizing her for dealing with her heartbreak in a healthy way and living her life how she wants to, try focusing on yourself, and learning how to be more comfortable with stepping outside of society's standards.

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.
