22 Of The Best Lyrics From Taylor Swift's 'Reputation'

If there's one person who never fails to make me love their music it's without a doubt Taylor Swift. She is, in my opinion, the greatest songwriter of this generation. All of her albums have been lyrical masterpieces and her newest album "Reputation" does not disappoint with bringing us more catchy, scream-at -the-top-of-your-lungs, and cry-your-eyes-out lyrics.

Although her sixth album hasn't been out that long, I can't even count how many times I've listened to it on repeat daily, have tried to memorize every single song or can still not manage to come up with at least my top 5 favorite songs. Because honestly, they're all pretty amazing. But don't take my word for it, listen for yourself.

Since I can't come up with my favorite songs because that's too hard, I can profess my love for my favorite lyrics of this album. Lyrics that, from the first listen, left me feeling all sorts of emotions ranging from pure "oh no she did not just say that" shock, to "gosh darn it, who left a pile of freshly cut onions right in front of me" sadness.

So here are, for me, the 22best lyrics from "Reputation." Next time when you need a fire Instagram caption or tweet to sum up your exact feelings, look no further than here:

1. "In the middle of the night/In my dreams/ You should see the things we do/Baby.../Mmm" - ...Ready For It?

I, in fact, was not ready for this lyric.

2. "I don't wanna touch you/I don't wanna be/Just another ex love/ You don't wanna see/I don't wanna miss you/Like the other girls do" - End Game

3. "Reputation precedes me/They told you I'm crazy/I swear I don't love the drama/It loves me" - End Game

4. "If a man talks Sh*t/Then I owe him nothing/I don't regret it one bit/'Cause he had it comin" - I Did Something Bad

Slay

5. "Don't blame me/Love made me crazy/If it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right" - Don't Blame Me

6. "I was once poison Ivy/But now I'm your daisy/And baby for you, I would fall from grace/Just to touch your face" - Don't Blame Me

7. "My reputation's never been worse so/You must like me for me" - Delicate

9. I'm yours to keep/And I'm yours to lose/You know I'm not a bad girl but/I do bad things with you" - So It Goes...

10. "You make me so happy/It turns back to sad/There's nothing I hate/More than what I can't have" - Gorgeous

11. "Should've known I'd be the first to leave/Think about the place where you first met me" - Getaway Car

12. "And all at once you're all I want/I'll never let you go" - King Of My Heart

13. "I could've spent forever with your/Hands in my pockets/Picture of your face/In an invisible locket" - Dancing With Our Hands Tied

14. "I'm a mess but I'm the mess that/you wanted" - Dancing With Our Hands Tied

15. "Only bought this dress/So you could take it off" - Dress

16. "You saw the truth in me/And I woke up just in time/Now I wake up by your side/My one and only, my lifeline" - Dress

17. "Did you think I wouldn't hear all the things/You said about me? - This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

18. "It was so nice being friends again/There I was giving you a second chance/But you stabbed me in the back while shaking my hand" - This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

19. "And I know I make the same mistakes/Every time/Bridges burn/I never learn/At least I did one thing right" - Call It What You Want

20. "All the drama queens taking swings/All the jokers dressing up as kings/They fade to nothing when I look at him" - Call It What You Want

22. "Please don't ever become a stranger/Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere" - New Year's Day

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
