Thank You, Taylor Swift | The Odyssey Online

If you say that you've never had a five-star jam session to Taylor Swift, you're lying. Her songs undoubtedly make the perfect soundtrack to any kind of jam sesh you may need: the happy ones, the sad ones, the ones caused by you overthinking things a little too much, and the ones possibly caused by those heartbreakers from our past who don't even deserve a sliver of our thoughts. So, thank you, Taylor Swift, for giving me and millions of other girls (and occasionally guys who are too scared to fess up) the words we need to hear.

Call out our ex's (and maybe their new girls, too):

"I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me."

"All you are is mean, and a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life, and mean."

"You are an expert at sorry, and keeping the lines blurry -- never impressed by me acing your tests."

"Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys on the playground won't make you many friends."

"You come around again and say, "Baby, I miss you and I swear I'm gonna change, trust me." Remember how that lasted for a day? I say, "I hate you," we break up, you call me, "I love you.


And to cry to on all of those days:

"So I drive home alone. As I turn out the light, I'll put his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight."

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

"It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you, wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine."

"It rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong. It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone 'cause I was there when you said forever and always."

"And you call me up again just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest."


And to make ourselves feel better after one of those days:

"You're beautiful, every little piece love, and don't you know you're really gonna be someone, ask anyone."

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

"Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday, but I realized some bigger dreams of mine."

"We are too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet. Baby, we're the new romantics, the best people in life are free."

"Got the radio on, my old blue jeans and I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve. Feelin' lucky today, got the sunshine. Could you tell me what more do I need?"

"But I keep cruising, can't stop, won't stop moving. It's like I got this music in my body and it's gonna be alright."


The hours we have all spent rocking out to our favorite T Swizzle songs are countless (and maybe even a little embarrassing). But we all know her extremely relatable lyrics and catchy beats aren't going anywhere anytime soon. And for that, we are all thankful. Thanks, T. Swift, you're the bomb.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
