It’s been one hell of a week in the world of entertainment, mainly due to the VMA’s premiering on Sunday. However, I think we can all agree that the buzz that is still ringing in our ears is the plot twist that is Taylor Swift.

For those of you that have been living under a rock the past couple of days, the queen of revenge herself did what she is known for and that is beating others at their own game.

Swift dropped her first music video since her collaboration with Zayn Malik, “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever” that featured in the movie “50 Shades Darker.” The new vid “Look What You Made Me Do” is her greatest piece of propaganda for her Swift Nation army yet.

Now, I’m not the biggest T-Swift fan, and her reputation in the entertainment world, both on and off camera, didn’t help her, but after seeing this video and really listening to these lyrics (and if you keep up with the media regularly) you can appreciate the cleverness behind each and every word.

Imma break it down…

Looking at the timeline of Taylor Swift I think it’s a pretty safe bet that Kanye West cutting her off at the VMA’s in 2009 was the start of it all. Kayne was (and still seems to be) public enemy number one. And what better way to make that even more clear than by putting it in her song; which is what she does best.

Don’t like your tilted stage...The role you made me play.

In ’09 West placed Swift in the victim role having blindsided her in front of millions on national television. And the tilted stage? He had one for his previous world tour “Yeezus.”

I’ve got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined.

Whether this is poking fun at her song “Blank Space” or the idea of her incredibly long history of past relationships, she nailed it again by pointing out that yes, she knows that everyone knows that she knows.

Aside from the lyrics, I want to point out a few scenes that made jaws drop all over. Swift took it one step further to call out Katy Perry who, ironically enough, was hosting the 2017 VMA’s by dressing up like her and holding a Grammy—something Perry does not possess.

Was this Swift rubbing it in her face? Probably…

Swift also touched on her relationship with actor Tom Hiddleston and the “I <3 T Swift” shirt (and is now selling it for profit online in her merch store). There were also the snakes #TaylorSwiftIsASnake (those rings are also available for purchase).

Last but not least…

The final scene where you have every character that she has ever played brought back to life. And, not only that, but she mocks each personality.

Therefore, pronouncing that she knows exactly how she was perceived in each frame of her career. She also made it pretty clear that the old Taylor Swift was…dead. So, yeah, there’s that.

The new album “Reputation” is what Swifties have been waiting for. New music and a new Taylor. I have a feeling that what is in store on this album is going to be unlike anything she has ever put out before.

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.
