Taylor Swift is a legend... plain and simple. Love her or hate her, you have to admit that some of her songs are pure jams. I'm not talking about the lyrics being so good that you want to drive around in your car singing - I'm talking about getting you on your feet to dance around your room. Here is a list of her most get-up-and-dance-worthy tunes:

I've Officially Spent Two Birthdays In Quarantine, And I've Come To Realize, Maybe It's Not All That Bad

I didn't expect to spend my birthday in quarantine, nor did I expect to still be in a pandemic by the next one, but God has shown up in amazing ways through it all.

My birthday is in March, so I was one of the first batches of people to spend their birthdays in a pandemic. Now a year later, I am reflecting on the time spent in the pandemic thus far, and I can honestly say, it hasn't been the worst.

I'm not gonna lie, celebrating my 21st birthday in quarantine was not how I expected things to go.

It's about time I turn 22. I've been told that after your 21st birthday, the years begin to fly past you in a blur. I don't know if I agree, but I can definitely say that I don't feel 22. Sometimes I look around at all the people who are freshmen in college, or juniors in high school, and I begin to reminisce about when I was their age. One thing getting older does do is make you a skeptical, cynical person.

Happy, Free, Confused, And Lonely At The Same Time: Turning 22

When Taylor Swift released the song "22" in 2012, I was 15. At that time, I didn't really understand exactly how accurate some of the lyrics of that song would come to be.

Fast forward seven years, and as of this week, I am feeling 22. And I am simultaneously happy, free, confused, and lonely.

Corrine Harding

The day has come, you have passed one of the most celebrated birthdays ever to come to the ripe age of 22. Maybe you celebrated this special day hard by jamming Taylor Swift's 22 a hundred times, or maybe you sat in your room all day contemplating how fast your life has gone by. Regardless of how you celebrated, I have been 22 for several months now, and I have learned a lot in my 22 years.

I don't about you, but I'm feeling old.

You feel a lot older than you did at 21...

But you still have A LOT to learn.

Don't be afraid to ask for help.

If someone is below 20 years old, they are an infant.

We're caught in this weird pop-culture shift.

You can't eat like you used to.

Not everyone you've met is your friend.

There is nothing wrong with having a smaller friend group.

Your family is everything.

Expensive doesn't always mean better.

Everyone is faking it till they make it.

Your life does not need to look like Pinterest.

You start to look at a lot of clothes for your career not just for fun.

Your patience is still thin.

No matter how old people get, there will be some who are immature.

Naps really can help you during your day.

You need to find "your thing."

The next most exciting birthday is when you're 25.

Being rejected is needed.

Life is too short to live it for other people.

There is still so much left to do.

22 is not the end of the world.
