The Taylor Swift Grammy Commercial And What It Really Means

I am not sure if anyone has seen the ad for the 2017 Grammy awards, but I will put it here.


In case anyone can't watch, I will explain it here. In this commercial, a bunch of young girls are reciting Taylor Swift's Grammy acceptance speech. Each young girl has something different and unique about them that they bring to the table. For example, the girl in the beginning is looking in the mirror with makeup and a costume, it seems that she longs to be an actress or someone famous. Another girl is playing the drums, and another basketball. Different young girls, with different hobbies, all of different races and looks all reciting the same speech that is meant to inspire them to chase their dreams.

And personally, I think it does just that. It is heartwarming, and it makes you feel inspired, that no matter who tries to tear you down, if you believe in yourself you can do anything. It doesn't get to political, it doesn't try and shut down other groups of people for not supporting you, it just teaches you that you are the only person you need in order to make your dreams come true, and nothing is truer and realer than that.

"But if you focus on the work, and you don't let those people sidetrack you, someday, when you get where you're going, you will look around and you will know, it was you." That brings tears to my eyes, because it is telling young girls, young boys, everyone really, that if you have a dream and you work hard and believe you can achieve it, you will. Taylor Swift was an inspiration in this speech, and the little girls who are each doing something different that defines them are an inspiration here as well.

"And the people who love you will put you there, and that will be the greatest feeling in the world."

If you believe in yourself, you will not fail, and you will accomplish your dreams.

I hope you are inspired by this, and I hope you are ready to make the world a better place wherever you find your passion. I hope this commercial makes you tear up, or gives you chills, and motivates you to be your best self, and if it doesn't I hope you find that from somewhere else, I hope one day you know that it was you.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
