My college experience has been exhilarating, challenging, and brutal, yet so, so rewarding. I cannot express the growth I have felt while living in the beautiful city that is NYC. Despite the chaotic state of the world, this past year has been renewing and eye-opening. As a dedicated, obsessive swiftie, I thought what could be better by telling my college story of loss, betrayal, love, and rebirth through Taylor songs??? So, I am going to divide up my life by seasons, and let the miracle masterpieces of Taylor take over from there…

It has been a crazy year with my relationships, career, personal growth, but this is my story, nonetheless. So, call it what you want to.
