The Power Of Taylor Swift

How a popstar connected to a teenager

The Power Of Taylor Swift

The goddess. The one. The only. Taylor Swift.

For as long as I can remember liking music, I have loved Taylor Swift.


Years later, I still love her. It's hard to explain why I have such a fascination with Taylor. I have so many friends that despise her and every time one of her songs comes on the radio, they immediately change it and say some rude comment.

My love for her is more than just purely about her, however. I love her music. If you are a young adult female, there is no way that she has never connected to you through a song. I have listened to her music during both the saddest and happiest times. Songs like "Fifteen" and "Stay Stay Stay" have sometimes so accurately described my life that I often wonder if TSwift follows me around.

The reality of it is, yeah like she said, my first kiss BLEW me off me feet. There is a time when I may have thrown my phone across the room hoping it would somehow hit my boyfriend almost 1000 miles away.

However, in each of her songs, these things have helped me think about my life and what is important. Yes, my first kiss blew me away, but my current boyfriend is more loving and caring than the boy who kissed me when I was fifteen. And yes, my phone may have cracked when it hit the wall, but after I listened to "Mine" or "Treacherous", I realized how ridiculous I was being and how important that relationship is in my life.

That is what makes her the best. She has a way of describing the lives of young girls all over the world without even knowing who they are. People will make fun of her and say she is trash...but not to me. I will always be a fan and will be thankful for the way she has helped me through her music.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

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. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
