Taylor Swift's 22 Is Way Too Relatable.

I don't know about you, but I don't feel 22.

Taylor Swift's 22 Is Way Too Relatable.
Odyssey

I’m a fan of Taylor Swift, and I have to admit that when her hit single “22” came out with a bang- I couldn’t wait to blast that anthem as many times as possible on my birthday. The day has finally arrived, and I have to admit that for the first time in my life, Taylor Swift’s lyrics are way too relatable to me. While so much of her music is full of smashing hits, her songs about breakups, makeups and heartbreaks never really hit home with me- but this song does. Here are some of Taylor’s most relateable lyrics from “22” that hit way too close to home. You rock Taylor, stay real.

"It feels like the perfect night, to dress up like hipsters."

You're Taylor. I've tried and tried to perfect this whole 'hipster" look for the last couple of years. I own a pair of large rim glasses, LOTS of flannels and I even have a tattoo. However, I have never been able to succumb to this so called Hipster culture, but every now and then I like to pretend that I can fit into this so called "hipster culture" that is going to soon take over the world (HA).

"It feels like the perfect night, for breakfast at midnight."

Taylor you are speaking my language. Pancakes are my favorite thing in the entire world,I'm sure breakfast at midnight is incredible no matter what age you are, but there is no doubt that I will absolutley being having breakfast at midnight when I'm 22- because why not?

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

TAYLOR SLAYS AGAIN. There's never been a year more happy yet confusing than turning 22. I mean, what happens after graduation? How am I ever going to be able to afford a car and a pair of lululemon yoga pants (#firstworldproblems). Why do I sometimes get so lonley, even though I have the greatest friends on the planet? The struggle is real.

"Tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines."

Right again. If you are/or approaching 22 than that means homework is ALMOST over, praise the Lord. What a great reminder that sometimes we have to be sponateous in order to enjoy life to the fullest. Besides, homework is SO last year.

"It seems like one of those nights, his place is too crowded. Too many cool kids. Uh-huh."

The older I get, the less time I want to spend in a humongous crowd of people and the more time I would rather spend with my close besties around a campfire, watching a movie or cooking a meal. Thanks Taylor, for a sweet reminder that less is sometimes a lot better.

"Everything will be alrightIf we just keep dancing like we're 22."

Well Taylor, I hope your advice is right, because I really like to dance. Here's to all the 22 year olds out there who never like to dance...you better start because T-swift is always right (wink wink).

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
