Individuality Matters

It's fun not listening to society.

I hate that society in this day in age that judges everyone for the choices they make. People shouldn't care how you dress, who you love, your profession, or where you live. It's all of your decisions to make you happy.

It is okay to be selfish and seek happiness for yourself.

I cannot wait to be an elementary teacher and help shape the minds of the future of America. People tell me all the time I will not like it and I won't make a lot of money- it's not about the money to me, it's about the look on the kids faces when they finally understand a math problem or can tell me the life cycle of a tadpole. I love teaching and I have already experienced a whole year of it, only making me more excited to do it for the rest of my life.

Wear what you want- that's how each and every one of us express ourselves (even though its mostly sweatpants and PJ's). Yes, some of us may go out in sweatpants and yogas literally everywhere, but hey, at least we're comfy.

More importantly- love whoever you want to love. Wherever your heart takes you and leads you to. Do not let family members or friends judge you for who you fall in love with, because when it comes down to it-- you're the one who is going to be spending all the time with them.

Not everyone is going to understand you and be able to understand what you do or why you do it, but be your own person and seek your own happiness. Do not let anyone ever tell you you're wrong.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

Let's face it. We've all had those days when it's almost impossible to stay awake or focus during lecture.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
