On the night of New Year's Eve, as the world celebrated the ringing in of 2016, Taylor Swift decided to go for her final fling of the year and release the music video for her single, "Out Of The Woods". At around 11 p.m. EST, the video was live and as of Jan. 2, it has over 6 million views. The song comes from her album "1989" and just like many of her other songs could possibly be about one of her past relationships.

The video opens up with the words "she lost him" following which we see Taylor Swift standing on a beach in a blue dress singing about her past lost love. This is a music video with no artist besides Swift herself which isn't a bad thing at all. The only other stars of the video are the wolves that chase her down in various locations constant that of a forest, a snowy mountain, a forest on fire and a piece of dry land with nothing visible as far as the eye can see. The video ends with the first three words "she lost him" followed by "but she found herself...and somehow that was everything" hinting that in the end it's all a worthwhile journey which is really different from all her recent videos. Where in "Blank Space" she is introduced to a new character hinting a sense of repetition, in "Bad Blood" the video ends at Taylor and Selena Gomez hitting each other and "Wildest Dreams" ends with the couple saying goodbye, this video ends up with Taylor Swift finding herself. Literally, finding herself.

A music video not only depends on how great the song sounds, the visual appeal is what counts as well. And Taylor Swift seems to know that very well. "Out Of The Woods" is a great video to look at thanks to the amazing camera work that is used for introducing the change of every terrain and captures the aesthetics of the locations along with the artist's face in a very well balanced manner. Filmed in New Zealand, the video grips the audience with all the running, jumping, and swarming in a huge pit of mud not only ruining the lovely look of Taylor but also making a hideous mess out of the lovely blue dress just to prove a point that there is a sense of struggle that she is going through with trying to let go of whatever situation that has happened.

The phrase "Out Of The Woods" occurs exactly 38 times within the song. So I really won't comment much on the lyrics except that they talk about her past with someone, are really good and definitely.... "Out Of The Woods."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
