On July 28th, 2018, Taylor Swift performed at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. It was her third show at Gillette for the Reputation Stadium tour, which makes her the first female to perform three nights in a row EVER at that venue! When she casually mentioned that in her opening speech, the crowd erupted in a deafening roar. Everyone had goosebumps.

I've been a TS fan since she released "Tim McGraw" in 2006, which makes me a 12-year Swiftie. Including the show I just attended, I have seen 4 of Taylor's tours: Speak Now, Red, 1989, and Reputation. While my favorite songs come off of Fearless, Speak Now, and Red, those concerts were not half as amazing as the show she performed just two weekends ago. I don't know what it was exactly, but the concert was by far the most life-changing show I've ever attended.

The songs on the album aren't her best (in my humble opinion), but she made up for that and then some at the show. Not only did she sing the tracks from REP, but she also sang throwbacks from previous albums, including "Should've Said No", "Lovestory", "Blank Space", "Ours", and "Style". Needless to say, the fans were emotional. This was the proof we all needed that the "old Taylor" isn't actually dead.

In addition to the superb mix of songs, the effects, instrumentals, interactions with the fans, videos between songs, choreography, the giant snake props, and everything in between were flawless. My friends and I were so in awe that we didn't even know what to say after the show. It was THAT good, guys! If you have the chance to attend one of her shows, do it. Just do it. Go in with whatever expectations you'd like, but be prepared to be blown away. Even though I'd like to say that I was the most excited for this tour, I wasn't; the songs weren't my favorite so the last thing I expected was to love the show. Your expectations can be high or low, but I promise you will not be disappointed.

To Taylor, from Taylor: thank you.

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
