As a die hard Taylor Swift fan, I will admit that I do miss the old Taylor. But, that doesn't mean that I want her back. Taylor's fan base has aged alongside with her, so it is no surprised that her music aged too. She has adapted to new trends and styles in music, as any good musician does. So why is everyone making a big deal about her?

Taylor is clearly sick of her "good girl" reputation. With her new song "End Game" and the music video to go along with it, she shows just how dead the old Taylor is.

The music video features a lot of drinking, so what? Taylor is 28 years old. She is plenty old enough to be drinking. Her fans aren't in middle school anymore either. A lot of her fan base includes college-aged girls, who obviously, are no stranger to drinking.

The music video shows what looks to be Taylor and everyone around her just having a good time and ignoring what their reputations might be. I think that is a very strong message to send to people these days and we should be applauding her, not tearing her down.

As far as the dancing goes, I love it. Taylor is all about putting on a performance, and what good performance doesn't include some sweet dance moves? Everyone underestimated Taylor and just thought of her as the innocent girl who sings about all of her break ups, but she is proving them wrong in so many ways with this new music.

Her song is all about her understanding what her reputation is and what people say about her, but still wanting to be somebody's "end game". By including Future and Ed Sheeran, she is reaching a wider audience, which is smart.

Both men in the music video talk about having reputations of their own, but ignoring them. Their reputations don't reflect who they are or control their lives. And that is exactly what Taylor is doing.

People can hate all they want, but Taylor Swift is clearly doing something right based on the amount of love she receives and the success of her career. Her messages have always been heard by me, and I hope other people get the chance to hear them too.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
