What Taylor Swift Taught Me

She just gives the best advice

Once upon a time I went to my first Taylor Swift concert. She walked past me, looked me in the eye, smiled, and grabbed my hand. It. Was. Magical. I mean life changing.

If you are a Taylor hater, then leave. Go. Right now. Taylor Swift is a genius. She is a glowing human being who has taught me a lot in life. I have loved her ever since the fifth grade, when I listened to “Teardrops on My Guitar” while staring out the car window, pretending to be in a music video. Here are a few of the many things this sparkling being of life that is Taylor Swift has taught me over the years.

Taylor Swift taught me to dance like nobody is watching. Don’t care what I look like. Don’t care if I am in the cereal isle at Walmart, or if I’m tearing up the dance floor at a wedding. Because I’m dancing on my own. I make the moves up as I go. Just like she told me to do. I just keep cruising, can’t stop, won’t stop grooving.

Taylor Swift taught me to always keep it classy. Whether in dancing (Definitely in dancing. I’ve seen the way some of you dance, and I can tell you right now, T.S. would not approve.), the way you dress, or just who you are as a person. Keep it classy, and you will never go out of style.

Taylor Swift taught me that moms are cool. Hang out with yours if and when you can. They give the best advice and make for the most delightful kind of road trip buddy. Especially if you are going on tour across the country. You will have the best days with them.

Taylor Swift taught me to be giving. There is always something you can give. You can give your time. You can give your knowledge. You can give your love. You can give me money to pay for college.

Taylor Swift taught me to bake. Okay, not really, I learned that on my own, but Taylor Swift taught me that I should bake. We bake together all the time actually. She even puts pictures of it on Instagram, except for some reason I look like some model or actress. Funny what filters can do to you. Bakers gonna bake, bake, bake, bake, bake.

Taylor Swift taught me that boys are nothing but trouble. Unless I get a nice one. But then he does something mean and we break up. But then I find another. And then he does me wrong. But that’s okay, because I just met this really cute boy and he seems nice. Just kidding. He wasn’t. I knew he was trouble when he walked in.

Taylor Swift taught me that I should get cats and name them after my favorite TV characters, Dr. Meredith Grey and Detective Olivia Benson.

Taylor Swift taught me that people will think things. People will talk about you. People will be mean, no matter how old you are. But don’t you worry your pretty little mind, people throw rocks at things that shine.

Taylor Swift taught me to choose my friends wisely. You don’t need a lot of friends, just good ones. Boys come and go (unless he’s “the one,” then hopefully he will stay), but your girl friends are forever. Unless they stab you in the back and you have bad blood. It’s so sad to think about the good times.

Taylor Swift taught me that your best friend is a very important person in your life and should be treated like one. You should thank her for dragging you head first, fearless.

Taylor Swift taught me to dream big. You never know where God will take you in life, or what He has planned for you. Travel the world. Eat good food. Meet new people. Dance, sing, bake, wear dresses, hug people, and live this life to the fullest, cause it’s the only one you’re gonna get. And just remember, haters gonna hate, so just SHAKE IT OFF.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
