Love her or hate her, it's actually impossible to live nowadays without seeing her face somewhere or hearing one of her songs on the radio. Yes, Taylor Swift is a pretty large part of everyone's lives (especially mine). With her latest album, 1989, winning album of the year, this is a definitive list of the 10 best songs (including the bonus tracks).

10. Welcome To New York

Why is this included? Well I have a little bias because I'm from the New York myself, but aside from that, it's nice to see Taylor making a song that isn't about relationships a break up. Variety is the spice of life.

9. I Know Places

This song is just so smartly written. The imagery is so strong that I feel genuinely concerned for Taylor's well being.

8. I Wish You Would

Such a fun and satisfying chorus. It dynamically flows up and down, all while staying light and easy on the ears.

7. Shake It Off

One thing Tay does better than anyone else is repetition. This song is the epitome of that, but who can resist the urge to dance when this comes on?

6. Style

A great song! So groovy and that 2nd verse is just bursting with soul. Always a fun song that will never go out of style.

5. Wildest Dreams

Of all the songs on 1989, this one definitely seems the most dreamy, almost trance-like. I love the music video for this song. My friends can attest, I watched it at least 850 times.

4. Clean

The better of the two ballads on 1989, leaves a huge impression on any listener. It's a super relatable song that brings the feels to the album. Backup vocals by Imogen Heap gives this song bonus points.

3. Blank Space

There's a solid beat and strong 90's pop era feel in Blank Space. Taylor poking fun at herself with satirical lyrics just makes the catchy song even more fun. The music video is also pretty great.

2. New Romantics

Even though it was a bonus track, it's going to be the next single! A fast paced song that's hard to get out of your head. It's definitely a classic Taylor tune right from the start.

1. Wonderland

The whole album is amazing, but this is undoubtedly my favorite song on there. A wonderfully written song with a deeper background sound, one of my favorite bridges, and amazing fluidity. Astonished that this wasn't included in the original album. If this doesn't get made into a single I'll be super sad.


And for all you haters out there:

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
