Home-Cooked Meals:

After a couple months of the same food in the dining hall over and over and over or the endless amounts of ramen and easy mac you make in college, you tend to get sick of it pretty fast. Being home makes us so grateful for our parents cooking as well as actually having a variety of food for once.


Privacy:

It’s always nice to have your own space and own room, where you don’t have to worry about anyone else and can just have some privacy and alone time. This also means getting away from the noise of people walking in the halls during the night or the people above you.


Your own clean shower:

There’s nothing better than going home to your own clean shower where there’s not hair all over and where you don’t have to wear shower shoes.


Reuniting with your Family and Friends:

Catching up with family and friends after being away for a couple months can be one of the best feelings ever. Reuniting with all your best friends is always a lot of fun, especially after being so far away for such a long time.


Your own bed:

Being able to sprawl out on a nice big bed that is incredibly more comfortable than the tiny twin size beds you get at college.


Seeing your pets again:

Being pet-deprived is one of the worst things about college. Going home to see your beloved pet again is a wonderful feeling. There is no better feeling than coming home and seeing that your pets still remember you after being away for so long.

But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
