15 Reasons Why Taylor Swift Is The Role Model Of Our Generation

As we approach the one-year anniversary of the record-breaking album, it is safe to say that no one is over "1989" yet. Between the surprise celebrity appearances on tour to Ryan Adams' full-album cover that was recently released, "Style," "Bad Blood" and "Wildest Dreams" still play just about every day for a lot of us. For the small portion of the world population that does not enjoy some aspect of the album, Taylor Swift is there. She is everywhere. She isn't going away, either.

I think she is someone who everyone needs to embrace in some way or another. If not her music, embrace her fashion sense. If not her fashion sense, embrace her kind soul. If not her kind soul, embrace her killer girl-power mantra.

Here are 15 reasons why Taylor Swift is someone we should all aspire to be:

1. She is unapologetically herself. She knows that she's not a good dancer, yet she dances anyway.

2. She brings her girlfriends instead of her boyfriend to award shows. Her super successful girlfriends, may I add.

3. Her music has changed, but she has.n't "Tim McGraw" and "Wish You Would" sound totally different, but the lyricism and the personality behind them are the same.

4. She truly appreciates those who appreciate her. She does everything she can for those who love her, whether she knows them well or not.

5. She considers her fans her friends. All of the amazing things she has done for her fans speak louder than her monetary value.

6. She always keeps her family (and her high school best friend, Abigail) by her side. The tours, the countless number-one singles, even the daily grind of being Taylor Swift has not changed the relationship she has with her from-day-ones.

7. She wrote a number-one hit about how the media portrays her. Repeat: number-one hit.

8. She bites her lip sometimes to be the bigger person. This GIF sums this one up just fine.

9. She takes the criticism and hate with a grain of salt. She proves that being successful without some hate is impossible. You just have to "shake it off."

10. She channels her heartbreak into (loads of) success. A strong woman builds a wall with the bricks thrown at her, right, Tay?

11. She is a real person. She was not always the Taylor Swift we know. She was someone before we knew her, and she is not afraid to talk about that person.

12. She evolved into a superstar right in front of our eyes. We watched her grown from the curly-haired girl with the acoustic guitar to the straight-bobbed woman decked out in red.

13. She stays classy even when she's not in the spotlight. I mean, have you ever seen pictures of her walking around NYC?

14. She has a goofy side, too. Something we should all have.

15. And, the older we get, the more we realize she was right about everything.

About breakups:

About love:

About feminism:

About success:

About finding yourself:

Everything.


I bet it would be pretty hard to find another young, successful woman with as much insight and talent as Taylor Swift. She is a person all young women should aspire to be like.

I will listen to what she has to say any day.

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.
