14. You LOVE to shop at Suite 201 but it always breaks the bank.

15. Almost all of the guys own at least one piece of Vineyard Vines clothing (not complaining though).

16. You almost always take Route 17 to get to your friends' houses (and somehow there is always traffic at every point in the day).

17.Your Friday nights/Saturdays in the fall consisted of high school football games.

18. You've gone to AT LEAST one Sweet 16 at the Brownstone.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

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.
