Taylor Swift's 5 Greatest Hits Ever

As unofficially decided by an ex-fan.

Taylor Swift's 5 Greatest Hits Ever
YouTube

I used to love Taylor Swift. Like, listened to her music 24/7, saw her in concert, owned the T-shirt kind of love. Almost as much as I loved the JoBros–almost.

But in the last few years, after repeatedly being disappointed by her "feminism," her cattiness, and, yes, her music, I now have to classify myself as an ex-fan. Don't @ me.

Despite this, I still have a place in my heart for her greatest hits, and I think we all could use a reminder of vintage Taylor before every single song was about revenge and drama. So without further ado, here are five of my personal choices for her 2030 album of greatest hits:

1. Teardrops on My Guitar

If this song doesn't make you a little sad, then I don't know what will. This is still my go-to song when I just want to lay on the floor and be sad for a little while, and it's the reason I tried–and failed–to learn the guitar.


2. Love Story

Those opening guitar lines get me every time. The ballgowns, the braids that I tried and tried (and failed) to recreate, the handsome guy? And nothing gets more romantic than those Romeo and Juliet references, at least in the mind of a 13-year-old.

3. You Belong With Me

In contrast to the total romanticism of "Love Story," this one is way more honest, and way more relatable when you're 12 years old and crushing on that guy that glanced at you at the stoplight last week.


4. Better Than Revenge

This was probably the first time we saw Taylor's revenge side. I just remember listening to this song in the car with my mom and hearing the line "She's better known for the things she does on the mattress," and my little middle school mind was blown.

5. Long Live

I think this is one of her most underappreciated songs, probably because it's one of her few non-romantic ones. Despite this, it's my favorite song to play when I'm in the car with my friends, reminiscing about high school–while simultaneously being so grateful that it's over.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
