26 Lyrics On Taylor Swift's New Album That'll Have You Reminiscing About Your Past Lovers

Whether you just broke up or it's been over a decade since your heart was broken into pieces, Taylor Swift's new album, "folklore" has it all. You don't even have to be a hardcore Swiftie to fall in love with this mature Indie, alternative album.

The album is filled with a variety of songs touching upon different aspects of love — the good, the bad, and the ugly — so, it's the perfect album to listen to when you want to go back in time.

Taylor Swift is all grown up and as she confidently reminisces on past lovers and romantic imagery not tied to her life, so can we. Since the album is filled to the brim with third-person narratives and fantasies, it was easy to lose track of time and remember my own former lovers who are permanently stuck in my memory.

Here are 26 lyrics that will spark up some memories:

1. "What do you sing on your drive home?/ Do you see my face in the neighbor's lawn?/ Does she smile?/ Or does she mouth, 'Fuck you forever'?" - "mad woman"

2. "Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe/ All the hell you gave me? / 'Cause I loved you, I swear / I loved you 'til my dying day " - "my tears ricochet "

3. "I guess you never know, never know / And if you wanted me, you really should've showed / And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow/ And it's alright now" - "the 1"

4. "Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in" - "hoax"

5. "Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other" - "peace"

6. "And though I can’t recall your face / I still got love for you" - "seven"

7. "The worst thing that I ever did / Was what I did to you" - "betty"

8. "So much for summer love and saying 'us' / Cause you weren't mine to lose" - "august"

9. "You didn't even hear me outYou never gave a warning sign / All this time" - "exile"

10. "All these people think love's for show / But I would die for you in secret" - "peace"

11. "I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired" - "cardigan"

12. "You know the greatest loves of all time are over now" - "the 1"

13. "I think I've seen this film before / And I didn't like the ending/ You're not my homeland anymore / So what am I defending now?" - "exile"

14. "I am ash from your fire" - "hoax"

15. "You taught me a secret language I can't speak with anyone else / And you know damn well / For you, I would ruin myself / A million little times" - "illicit affairs"

16. "And just like a folk song / Our love will be passed on" - "seven"

17. "You know I didn't want to have to haunt you / But what a ghostly scene / You wear the same jewels that I gave you / As you bury me" - "my tears ricochet"

18. "When you are young, they assume you know nothing / But I knew you" - "cardigan"

19. "If you kiss me, will it be just like I dreamed it? / Will it patch your broken wings?" - "betty"

20. "I'm still trying everything / To keep you looking at me" - "mirrorball"

21. "Time, curious time / Gave me no compasses, gave me no signs / Were there clues I didn't see?" - "invisible string"

22. "What a shame she went mad / You made her like that" - "mad woman"

23. "You were my town, now I'm in exile, seein' you out" - "exile"

24. "You put me on and said I was your favorite" - "cardigan"

25. "I never learned to read your mindI couldn't turn things around" - "exile"

26. "I remember thinkin' I had you / But I can see us lost in the memory / August slipped away into a moment in time' / Cause it was never mine" - "august"

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.
