The Taylor Swift Song You Need For Every Situation (Pre-'1989' Edition)

Taylor Swift is a lyrical genius. Ever since her first album was released in 2006, she has been making girls feel like they have someone who understands what they’re going through. Out of all of her songs, there’s almost a 100 percent chance at least one of them will relate (maybe even scarily close) to whatever you’re experiencing in life. Here are just some of the highly relatable songs Taylor has gifted us with over the years (before her 1989 album, which deserves its own separate article).


22

When you just feel happy and free. Or when it’s your/your friend’s 22nd birthday.

All Too Well

When you find yourself angrily yet longingly remembering the one who broke your heart. This song is best sung at the top of your lungs with your best friend when you’re driving around late at night.


Jump Then Fall

You “coincidentally” run into your crush on his way to class every day and just know you two would be perfect together.

Back To December

When you realize you made a possibly regrettable mistake in letting that boy go.

Begin Again

When you find yourself falling for a new boy, after you swore to yourself you’d never open up to love again because you had been hurt so badly. And, you realize you’re doing just fine.


Picture To Burn

Your ex broke your heart, but that’s OK, you’ll just burn all your pictures and start dating his best friend. (Don’t actually date his best friend out of spite. That would just be cruel.)

Better Than Revenge

When some girl swoops in and tries to steal your crush away. There’s no time for being sad when you can get mad instead.

Breathe

When you realize you have to move on, and, even though it seems like it’s killing you, it’s what is best for you.

Cold As You

When your crush/significant other/friend does something very coldhearted and you can’t help but be mad that you ever trusted them.

Dear John

When you realize how horrible that boy treated you. (Even more fitting if his name was John.)


Everything Has Changed

When your crush finally reveals that they have feelings for you as well, and something starts to happen between you two.

Enchanted

You’re totally swooning over that cute guy you just met. You’ve already named your seven children, your two dogs, and picked out your future house…you just don’t know his last name yet.

Fearless

When you realize that your best friends or significant other is just the greatest person in the world, and you feel more confident and happy just being around him or her.

Forever & Always

When that horrible boy breaks your heart. You’re tired of being sad, so you get mad instead.

I Almost Do

When you hate to admit it, but you’re still in love with that boy, and feel bad for breaking his heart, but you feel like you can’t go back to him.

Haunted

You’re beginning to sense that you’re about to be ‘ghosted’ by your new bae.

Last Kiss

When you want to let yourself wallow in your sadness after a break up. Sometimes, you have to just let it all out. This is the perfect song for that.

Mean

That boy made you feel like crap again. But you know you’re better off without him anyways.

Red

It was a whirlwind romance. You lost the boy. But, you realized how strong the pain made you become.

I Knew You Were Trouble

You fall for the bad boy. You knew this was coming all along, but you didn’t want to admit it. But, you’re not sad. You know he’s not worth your time to be sad about.

Should’ve Said No

He cheated on you or did something equally as horrible. He’s not worthy of you.

Stay Beautiful

When you're feeling happy, but may need a little inspiration to continue on.

Tell Me Why

You’re sick and tired of the way your significant other is acting (You should just move on if you feel like you relate to this song a little too closely, a little too often).

Teardrops On My Guitar

When the boy you're in love with changes his mind and moves on to a new girl. Or, you want to relive your middle school days and the boys who broke your heart back then.

The Moment I Knew

When you realize he’s not as good as you hoped he would be. He’s let you down for the last time.

You Belong With Me

When you are madly in love with the boy from school who doesn’t know you exist, or you’re in love with your best friend and he’s too shy to make a move. Sing this song to him and he’s sure to be inspired to do something.

White Horse

When you’ve decided you’re done with the boy, for good this time, because you know deserve much better. It’s too late for him and his white horse to catch you now.

We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

You’re too happy on your own to even think about letting him back into your life. This song is best sung with your best friends at the top of your lungs.

The Story of Us

When you start to think that maybe things aren’t going to go the way you had originally planned, but that’s okay.

That’s The Way I Loved You

When you’re looking back on your old love that was crazy, but questioning if maybe there was something good about the crazy.

Fifteen

The song you listened to on your first day of high school, or the song you will listen to when you want to think back on how different things are now than they used to be.

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.
