I thought about whether to write about this on here or not but I think it's important for everyone to know so that there's no more speculating about Taylor Swift's Tumblr post. I know you're probably thinking, "she's gonna say this all because she's a loyal fan". Have I been to all of her concerts and have all her CDs? Why of course I do but I don't think that should be a problem. What is the problem is that she has created all her music and it's now all in the hands of Scooter Braun now that he's with Big Machine Records. She is no longer with the label, but all the hard work that she spent with creating & crafting the songs has gone down the drain because she doesn't own it! I understand that she is about to turn over a new leaf with her album, Lover but that doesn't mean her past music is not important for her to keep.

No woman in the music industry should have this happen to them nor should they feel like they owe anything to anyone, especially Scooter Braun. I think that Taylor should have a say in where her music lies, as she does write and co-write all of her songs. She even wrote all of Speak Now with no co-writers, so that album in itself should be in her vault, not anyone else's. Of course, everyone is not going to like all of her songs and that's ok, but that doesn't mean that you can't stand with her during this time. Even other artists have started to get behind Taylor, unfollowing Scooter after all of this. I'm not saying that you have to unfollow him (which you totally should), but you should take a look at her post and see where she's coming from.

Taylor has truly meant a lot to me these past few years with her music and her confidence. She has taught me to always be myself and to never let anyone get in my lane. I hope that others see that not only is she a lyrical and musical genius, that she is also human. She goes through emotions just like we do and she deserves way more than she is getting right now.

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.
