Taylor Swift album

Most of us can relate to Taylor Swift's music. She talks about lost love and heartbreak, but did you know that she even writes about the lives of stressful college students? Me neither! These 11 song lyrics show how her songs can relate to those moments when you just want to rip your hair out. Take a look:

1. Song: "22," Album: "Red"

"We're happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time. It's miserable and magical, oh yeah...."

What she really means:

"College, I'm free!"

"So this is what independence feels like."

"Wait, Mom, how do I do laundry?"

"What do you mean I can't wash whites and colors together?"

"Come on, I just ruined my favorite shirt!"



2. Song: "All Too Well," Album: "Red"

"And I know it's long gone, and that magic's not here no more, and I might be okay, but I'm not fine at all...."

What she really means:

"I swear I studied it all last night."

"Why can't I remember it?"

"I'm going to fail, this is not OK."


3. Song: "Blank Space," Album: "1989"

"So it's gonna be forever or it's gonna go down in flames. You can tell me when it's over if the high was worth the pain."

What she really means:

"This is it. This test is going to make or break my GPA."

"Yep, I failed."

"I'm going to get kicked out of the program."

"Why did I pick this major again?"

"Why didn't I choose an easier major?"



4. Song: "Bad Blood," Album: "1989"

"Now we got problems, and I don't think we can solve them."

What she really means:

"But seriously, how do I do this math problem?"


5. Song: "Crazier," Album: "Hannah Montana: The Soundtrack"

"You spin me around, you make me crazier."

What she really means:

"I swear, I was normal until I came to college."


6. Song: "Everything Has Changed," Album: "Red"

"All I knew this morning when I woke up, is I know something now, know something now I didn't before."

What she really means:

"Wow, that all-night cramming session really did pay off."


7. Song: "I Almost Do," Album: "Red"

"I bet this time of night you're still up. I bet you're tired from a long hard week."

What she really means:

"Yep, I'm still up."

"Still studying."

"Is it Friday yet?"

"Can Friday come faster?"

8. Song: "I Know Places," Album: "1989"

"I can hear them whisper as we pass by. It's a bad sign, bad sign."

What she really means:

"What did they say?"

"Was the test hard?"

"Why is no one giving me any information?"


9. Song: "I Wish You Would," Album: "1989"

"It's 2 a.m. in my room. Headlights pass the window pane, I think of you. We're a crooked love in a straight line down. Makes you wanna run and hide, then it makes you turn right back around."

What she really means:

"What if I just moved to Alaska?"

"I bet I wouldn't have to take this exam."

"Yeah, but I'm not paying fifty thousand dollars a year for nothing."

"OK, I guess I'll finish studying."

10. Song: "Lucky Ones," Album: "Red"

"You know that we'll never leave if we don't get out now, now, now."

What she really means:

"Seriously, though, if I leave now I don't have to worry or study anymore."
