No worries freshman, you're not alone.

Rookie Mistakes You'll Still Make Junior Year
University of Delaware

Freshman, you're not alone. As we enter the Fall 2016 semester, we juniors are scrambling around like chickens with our heads cut off too. It's almost as if the clocks were turned back two years because we are oddly unfamiliar with the campus. Between moving out of the dorms into new homes, learning to adult (i.e. food shopping, cooking, cleaning, etc.), and realizing graduate school applications are quickly approaching, we juniors are beginning this school year quite flustered.

So if you happen to notice students making these rookie mistakes on campus, do not just assume they are freshman because they may just as well be the confused juniors of the world.

1. Walking into the wrong class on the first day


2. Googling the campus map to find the building your class is in


3. Setting your class schedule as your lock screen


4. Misjudging how long it takes to walk to class, so you show up super early or super late


5. Forgetting what times your classes are


6. Answering questions the first week of classes and being the first name your professors learn


7. Trying to go to the gym at the beginning of the year --> constantly standing around waiting for machines


8. Realizing you forgot a million things at home when you unpack


9. Microwaving ramen for dinner even though you have a full kitchen



10. Showing up to parties the first weekend with every friend you've ever met in college

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.

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."
