As a die hard Taylor Swift fan, I will admit that I do miss the old Taylor. But, that doesn't mean that I want her back. Taylor's fan base has aged alongside with her, so it is no surprised that her music aged too. She has adapted to new trends and styles in music, as any good musician does. So why is everyone making a big deal about her?

Taylor is clearly sick of her "good girl" reputation. With her new song "End Game" and the music video to go along with it, she shows just how dead the old Taylor is.

The music video features a lot of drinking, so what? Taylor is 28 years old. She is plenty old enough to be drinking. Her fans aren't in middle school anymore either. A lot of her fan base includes college-aged girls, who obviously, are no stranger to drinking.

The music video shows what looks to be Taylor and everyone around her just having a good time and ignoring what their reputations might be. I think that is a very strong message to send to people these days and we should be applauding her, not tearing her down.

As far as the dancing goes, I love it. Taylor is all about putting on a performance, and what good performance doesn't include some sweet dance moves? Everyone underestimated Taylor and just thought of her as the innocent girl who sings about all of her break ups, but she is proving them wrong in so many ways with this new music.

Her song is all about her understanding what her reputation is and what people say about her, but still wanting to be somebody's "end game". By including Future and Ed Sheeran, she is reaching a wider audience, which is smart.

Both men in the music video talk about having reputations of their own, but ignoring them. Their reputations don't reflect who they are or control their lives. And that is exactly what Taylor is doing.

People can hate all they want, but Taylor Swift is clearly doing something right based on the amount of love she receives and the success of her career. Her messages have always been heard by me, and I hope other people get the chance to hear them too.

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.

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.
