The Taylor Swift Grammy Commercial And What It Really Means

I am not sure if anyone has seen the ad for the 2017 Grammy awards, but I will put it here.

In case anyone can't watch, I will explain it here. In this commercial, a bunch of young girls are reciting Taylor Swift's Grammy acceptance speech. Each young girl has something different and unique about them that they bring to the table. For example, the girl in the beginning is looking in the mirror with makeup and a costume, it seems that she longs to be an actress or someone famous. Another girl is playing the drums, and another basketball. Different young girls, with different hobbies, all of different races and looks all reciting the same speech that is meant to inspire them to chase their dreams.

And personally, I think it does just that. It is heartwarming, and it makes you feel inspired, that no matter who tries to tear you down, if you believe in yourself you can do anything. It doesn't get to political, it doesn't try and shut down other groups of people for not supporting you, it just teaches you that you are the only person you need in order to make your dreams come true, and nothing is truer and realer than that.

"But if you focus on the work, and you don't let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you're going, you will look around and you will know, it was you." That brings tears to my eyes, because it is telling young girls, young boys, everyone really, that if you have a dream and you work hard and believe you can achieve it, you will. Taylor Swift was an inspiration in this speech, and the little girls who are each doing something different that defines them are an inspiration here as well.

"And the people who love you will put you there, and that will be the greatest feeling in the world."

If you believe in yourself, you will not fail, and you will accomplish your dreams.

I hope you are inspired by this, and I hope you are ready to make the world a better place wherever you find your passion. I hope this commercial makes you tear up, or gives you chills, and motivates you to be your best self, and if it doesn't I hope you find that from somewhere else, I hope one day you know that it was you.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
