My College Experience Explained Through Taylor Swift's Albums

I don't know about you but..........I'm ready to graduate

Taylor Swift- Freshman Year

Via zeleb.mx

Freshman year was my year of innocence. I was just breaking out in the world and I was excited for what was ahead of me. I was bubbly, happy and probably extremely annoying. I was a little queer boy in New York City and learning about boys, love and all that cute kid stuff. I did not have any goals except to get the cute guy in my class to notice me.

Fearless/Speak Now- Sophomore Year

I put these two albums together because I feel it was accurate to both semesters of my second year. Sophomore year was the year I was a hopeless romantic. I felt my Love Story was bound to happen something soon and that I will meet the love of my life in college. I got into my first relationship this year and spent the year being happy and thinking love is the answer to all my problems. He was Mine and I felt it will last forever. Little did I know that towards the end of my sophomore year life was going to kick me in the face.

Red- Junior Year

Junior year was a low year for me. Similar to Taylor Swift throughout the Red phase, I just broke up with my boyfriend of six months (huge amount of time I know), and I did not deal with it well. Basically, I was extremely BITTER towards everyone and everything. I had just turned 21 and I decided that this was the year I was going to be focused on all my problems. We are Never Ever Getting Back Together and All Too Well were the anthems of this year. I wasn't even 22, but my friends and I pretended like we were. Junior year isn't a bad year, but it is a year that involves learning a lot about one's self.

1989- First Semester Senior Year

Okay, this semester was the peak in my college career. I was on my final stretch of college, I got a job and I was ready to get shit done. I didn't come to play games and I succeeded throughout this whole semester. I put the past romances and rumors aside and focused on myself which ended up paying off. Similar to Taylor, this semester was my peak and an historic time in my life.

Reputation- Second Semester Senior Year

While the first semester of my senior year felt like my peak in college, this semester has felt like the slowest most painful semester of my four years. Senioritis is real people and it's horrible. This entire semester I have felt like an emo 13-year-old who just wants to defy their parent's orders. Look What You Made Me Do was my rebellion song against my university. For me, it was like hey this is what 18 credits, 40 hours of work and shitty cafeteria food can do to you! I sit in my classes and think "Why the hell am I here?" I see the happy little freshman around me and I just want life to punch them in the face. I'm only here for my diploma and want to get this semester over with.

However senioritis aside, this semester has taught me that my college experience has been a world wind of emotions. I had my ups and my downs, but wouldn't change anything I had been through. I will forever be grateful for the friends and experiences I had in college and I will remember this experience for the rest of my life. As Taylor Swift said, "Hold on to the memories they will hold on to you."
