A Short Pep-Talk

Because everyone could use a little cheering up.

A Short Pep-Talk

You can feel the fresh ground beneath your feet.

Today is a new day. Today is the day to start over. And today, there is a new you, a more refined and changed you.

The day looks to you with a smiling face of hopeful opportunity you are overjoyed to embrace. You are anew with rest and, hopefully, breakfast in your tummy. You walk forward recognizing how brave you are to face this cruel world, while also recognizing the joy and light emitting from you, constantly changing the world minute by minute.

You continue to keep your own views and morals, but you must allow some of your opinions and ideas to be shaped by others you respect and look up to. You don't change yourself to benefit others but, instead, to better yourself.

Everything is constantly changing around you, and sometimes, it overwhelms you. It maybe even leaves you feeling like you are lagging behind and useless, but this is so far off from reality. You are evolving and changing every day. Growing stronger to the challenges you face.

Your heart, at times, may feel heavy... but that's from all the love you hold and cherish. You recognize the good in people, and you send love right back out into the universe.

You have been through so much. Yet, you should be so proud of all you accomplished.

You are worthy, and you are more loved than you ever thought.

The day brings it's best to you, and you are more ready for all you encounter than you think.

The next day seems a little sweeter, with your feet dragging less and less behind you.

You are growing to be all you ever imagined and more. You are cherished. You are good enough and, most importantly, MORE than enough.

Take it easy on yourself. You went through so many battles, and you deserve a break.

Breathe in and out... Today, you can change the world. Bring about peace and kindness with each word you speak.

You got this.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. 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."
