Miss Americana

The new Taylor Swift documentary captures another side of her, one that the media and people don't ever talk about. It was an excellent film in which you really get a feel at how much hate and criticism she has endured and still has been able to come out on top. Its a glance into how Taylor Swift the famous singer-songwriter is also just a human being like the rest of us, and we often tend to forget that she has feelings too.

I have always been a fan of Taylor Swift. I remember asking my parents to buy me her second studio album at Walmart the day I discovered her. I hadn't realized that she had released a debut album, because at the time I thought all the songs that I was listening to were all on the same album. I mean I was only nine years old so back then was a different time.

I began listening to her music because I enjoyed the catchy melody of her songs and the hooks were always so catchy. Flashback to today, I still listen to her music because I have grown up with it, and her amazing lyricism speaks to me. And this is exactly what that film entitled. It begins with her on the piano composing a song off of her recently released album "Lover." Throughout the whole documentary, it displays her work ethic in the studio, writing and singing and really giving us a behind the scenes of her music.

The film also focuses on different aspects of her life and lets us in on a lot. It explains the way she felt when the 2009 VMA incident happened and how she thought the audience was booing her onstage. It also briefly talks about the 2016 incident where she was basically canceled for lying about the Kanye West lyrics in his "famous" song. If you really think about it, Taylor Swift has endured so much hate over her career and it's really tiring to see that the hate train never ends.

Swift also tackles much bigger issues when she explains the sexual assault case she was in, and how she counter-sued a DJ who groped her. She also explains how heavy and hard it is to see her Mother have cancer and how mama Swift has managed.

It also focuses on politics and how she backed a Democratic candidate for the Senate in Tennessee because it was what she believed in. She never really gave her opinion about politics and this was so beautiful to watch because she stood her ground and didn't take her teams' advice on not talking about politics.

The film was beautiful and let us experience the journey that one of the biggest artists in this world has lived. Thank you, Taylor, it was excellent.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
