Taylor Swift's 6th studio album was released on November 10th called 'Reputation'. Like many Swifties, I've been listening to it nonstop. I've also read a variety of articles on the album. Some praised the new album and others called for the "old Taylor" to come back. After spending a fair share of time listening to the album, I have picked out the best lyrics from each track on the 'Reputation'.

1. "...Ready for it?"

The opening song to her album fits the theme perfectly, but my favorite line from this song 'In the middle of the night in my dreams I know I'm going to be with you so I take my time'. It shows that no matter what happens, Taylor knows that at the end of the day she knows who she wants to be with and that they want to be with her too regardless of her reputation.

2. "End Game"

'I don't wanna hurt you I just wanna be drinking on a beach with you all over me' paints a dreamy picture in my mind (who wouldn't wanna be drinking on the beach with the love of their life).

3. "I Did Something Bad"

Easily the line, 'If a man talks shit then I owe him nothing'. This one speaks for itself if you've followed the Kanye drama. Yas Taylor YAS.

4. "Don't Blame Me"

'Don't blame me love made me crazy if it doesn't you ain't doing it right'. This line reminds me of the old Taylor in the way that she always puts 100% into her relationships, and isn't afraid of the "crazy" look the media gives her. She just owns up to it.

5. "Delicate"

'My reputation's never been worse so you must like me for me'. This is such a pure line about just how much the media has tried to control Taylor's relationships and how it's affected her reputation.

6. "Look What You Made Me Do"

When I first heard this song my favorite line was (and still is) 'I'm sorry, but the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now... Why? Oh, cause she's dead!' #sorrynotsorry

7. "So It Goes..."

'Getting caught up in a moment, lipstick on your face', is such a scandalous line (actually this whole song is) that the old Taylor never would've had on any of her other albums.

8. "Gorgeous"

'There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have'. I can hear the frustration in this song loud and clear about wanting something you can't have.

9. "Getaway Car"

This is by far my favorite song on this album and picking out one line is very challenging. 'And a circus ain't a love story and now we're both sorry' is one of my favorites.

10. "King Of My Heart"

This is my second favorite song on the album that I can relate to so well. 'Say you fancy me not fancy stuff baby all at once this is enough'.

11. "Dancing With Our Hands Tied"

'So baby can we dance through an avalanche' is a depiction of finding rhythm in the chaos of life.

12. "Dress"

This song isn't one of my favorites, but the line that sticks out the most in this song and definetly shows a different side of Taylor is ‘only bought this dress so you could take it off’.

13. "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things"

‘I’m shaking my head and locking then gates’ is a perfect line that, if you’ve followed the Kanye drama.

14. "Call It What You Want"

‘My baby’s fly like a jet stream, high above the whole scene loves me like I’m brand new’. I love how this song talks about how Taylor doesn’t care about what people think about her relationships, and just lets us know what her lover loves her, too.

15. "New Year's Day"

This one, in my opinion, does not fit the theme of this album. It is slow paced and might remind you of the melody of the old Taylor, but it's nowhere near "Wildest Dreams" or "All Too Well". The line that's the best from this song is 'please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere'.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
