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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
