"New Romantics" Is Taylor Swift's Next Single And That's The Best Idea Ever
tswiftdaily.com/

Swifties everywhere can now rejoice because the day we have all been waiting for has finally come: "New Romantics" is officially the next single off of 1989! The announcement was made on Taylor Swift's twitter account just days after the 10 time Grammy winner brought home the Album of the Year award for the second time in her career.

To those who might be unfamiliar with the song, "New Romantics" is a bonus track from 1989's deluxe edition, which might sound like a peculiar choice for a radio single, but it's actually a huge fan favorite. In fact, most would probably say that it's the best song off of the entire album - something that Rolling Stone would likely agree with considering that they declared "New Romantics" as the second best song of 2014.

So why now? This is the sixth and (probably) final single off of this album. Why did it need to be "New Romantics" and not "Welcome To New York" or "I Know Places" or "How You Get The Girl"?

Perhaps it's because out of all of the album's tracks, "New Romantics" best summarizes exactly what 1989 has been all about: paying homage to 1980s pop while celebrating a newfound sense of self despite a broken heart and negative public opinion.

But not only that, it's just a damn good song--not to mention fun, which has certainly been a major theme of Swift's glittery world tour. And then of course genius lyrics like "we show off our different scarlet letters/trust me mine is better," "cuz baby I can build a castle/out of all the bricks they through at me" and "the rumors are terrible and cruel/but honey most of the them are true" are paired with a pop hook to die for, making this the perfect recipe for a final radio hit (and music video!).

If this single really does signify the farewell to 1989, what a way to go.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
