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."

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
