Yes, The 'Reputation' Tour Film Is Fantastic

When I heard that the film for Taylor Swift's "reputation" tour would be released on Netflix, I was more than excited. I had missed seeing her live as I had been out of the country when she had been in New York, and this album had been one of my favorites of the year. Plus, I have always been a fan of her and her music, so this film gave me the chance to experience the concert myself!

First, this film revolves entirely around one show that she performed in Dallas, Texas—and that show only. It does not follow her entire journey for the "reputation" tour. Instead, the film is meant to present the concert as if you were there watching it live. Between the changes in camera angle and wide shots of impressive effects, the film allows the audience to absorb how incredible the show had been.

While some may find it a bit lengthy, coming in at just over two hours long, the film runs the duration of one of Taylor's concerts. Therefore, the film lasts as long as this particular show in Dallas lasted. The time whizzes past though, as Taylor has mastered the art of keeping spirits high and holding onto that buzz of energy as the night goes on.

If you haven't listened to "reputation," you definitely should (and I don't know why you haven't yet). The setlist contains most—if not all—the songs from the album, and I found myself singing along to my favorites while I watched the film. It was impossible not to. Many of her songs are genius and classic, and watching the film only made me fall back in love with her lyrics. Taylor even sings a few songs from earlier albums that you'll definitely recognize, and she makes sure to hit you with a wave of nostalgia as she breaks out her guitar for a couple of soothing tracks.

Overall, if you are a fan of Taylor Swift, I'd say you will be very pleased with how this film has turned out. It's like living the concert for the first time—or reliving it. If you are not a die-hard fan but consider yourself a casual listener, I'd still check it out. If you don't feel like sitting down to watch the entire concert, having it on in the background while doing other things could still be fun. But if you're not a fan of Taylor Swift or her music at all, I'd probably give this a pass—unless you're interested in giving her another shot, which I'd recommend.

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.
