Taylor Swift is one of the biggest pop stars in the world, and many young people see her as a role model. She started working on her music as a teen and never got a chance to have a traditional college experience, but her academic journey includes everything from homeschooling to an honorary doctorate.

Higher education wasn’t in the cards for Swift, and even her high school experience has been pretty tricky. She attended Hendersonville High School during her teenage years before transferring to Aaron Academy and turning to homeschooling due to her busy touring schedule. She eventually graduated one year early and decided to pursue music full-time.

Despite never attending college, Swift received an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree from New York University in 2022 and addressed her academic journey in her commemorative speech.

“I never got to have a normal college experience, per se. I went to public high school until 10th grade and then finished my education doing homeschool work on the floors of airport terminals,” said Swift, adding that the music video for “Love Song” was the closest she came to realizing her college dream.

Despite not being an academic herself, Taylor Swift’s body of work is studied at several colleges. Arizona State University introduced a course “Psychology of Taylor Swift”, while the University of Texas, New York University, and Berklee College of Music in Boston offered courses studying her music.

One of the best things about studying abroad is that you can immerse yourself in a new culture and explore your host country. Unfortunately, traveling as a student doesn’t always come cheap, but there are ways to stretch your budget and hit the road without breaking the bank.

Cheap Accommodation

Accommodation will be one of your biggest travel expenses, so consider staying at budget-friendly hostels. Using Couchsurfing and Workaway to find free accommodation is also an option.

Eat In

Exploring the cuisine of a new country is pretty tempting, but it won’t always fit into your budget. Buy groceries cook your own meals to save money, and stick to authentic street food when eating out.

Travel Light

If your travel plans involve air transportation, make sure to pack as light as possible to save money on baggage fees.

Student Discounts

One of the perks of being a student is that you can get discounts on transportation, accommodation, and attractions, so make sure to use them to your advantage.

Plan Wisely

Traveling on a budget requires a lot of planning in advance, but it will be worth it in the end. The more you know about your destination, the easier it will be to avoid common tourist scams.

We all have those days when studying is the last thing on our minds, and we feel overwhelmed and frustrated by our lack of progress. You shouldn’t beat yourself up once these days come, because there are ways to overcome them and turn things around.

Taking Breaks

Most students try to overcome a bad study day by pushing themselves to study more, but that’s a huge mistake. Taking a break to clear your mind is a much better strategy because it will help you regain focus and go back to studying.

Time For Change

Changing the environment is one of the most effective strategies that can help you overcome a bad study day. You can refresh your mind and get a new surge of motivation by moving your study session to a completely different place.

Dig Deeper

If bad study days are becoming a common occurrence, you’ll have to put some effort into getting to the root of the problem. Try to analyze the factors that contributed to your bad study day so you can avoid them in the future.

Do What You Can

If there’s nothing you can change today, consider making better study plans for tomorrow. Break down your study tasks into smaller, manageable goals, and devise a game plan that will get you pumped up for your next study session.

Your diet will probably suffer once you become a college student, and eating fresh foods will seem like a mission impossible – but it doesn’t have to be. Here are several tips and tricks that will help you eat fresh and nutritious foods as a busy college student.  

Dorm Essentials

To ensure you’re eating fresh food on a regular basis, there are certain cooking appliances that you’ll need to have in your dorm. A mini-fridge is a must because it will help you keep your foods fresh, but you should also consider buying a blender and a toaster oven or microwave.

Grocery Shopping

Even if you have all the kitchen essentials in your dorm, it’s impossible to prepare fresh food without fresh ingredients. Hit the local farmer’s market once a week to buy fresh fruit and veggies and stock up on pantry staples such as rice and canned foods.

Dining Hall Choice

If you’re regularly eating at a campus dining hall, try to pick the healthiest and freshest foods possible. Became a regular at a salad bar and make sure to pack your plate with a variety of fresh and tasty fruits and veggies.

Off-Campus Eateries

If eating fresh foods on campus seems like a mission impossible, at least put an effort into eating healthy when you’re off campus. Take your time to explore local eateries and discover the ones that offer fresh and healthy options.

We all tend to develop loyalty towards our trusty old hairbrush, but that doesn’t mean we should use the same one forever. There comes a time when you’ll have to say goodbye to your old brush to avoid hair and scalp damage, and here are three warning signs worth paying attention to.

Limited Lifespan

Hair brushes usually don’t come with an expiration date on the box, but that doesn’t mean you should use the same one forever. Your old brush should be replaced if you’ve been using it for several years, especially if it’s showing signs of wear and tear.

Worn-Out Bristles

Bristles will tell you everything you need to know about the state of your hair brush, so pay extra close attention to the state they’re in. Bent, broken, and excessively soft or stiff brittles won’t do your hair any favors and you can lead to hair breakage and scalp irritation.

Cleanup Troubles

Oils, hair, and other unwanted residues will build up on your hair brush over time, and that can become a major problem. It’s important to clean up your brush regularly because it will trap dead skin and dust over time, but you’ll consider looking for a new one if you’re constantly struggling to keep it clean.

Most college dorm rooms come with a limited amount of space, and students must adjust to having a pretty small desk. If that happens to be the case with yours, our brief guide is here to help you make the best of the limited desk space that you have at your disposal.

Only Essentials

Avoid using your desk to hold things that you won’t need during your study sessions. In addition to taking up space, they’ll only be a distraction, so try storing them on your shelves, under the bed, or inside the closet.

Organizing Hacks

When your dorm desk is really tiny, you’ll be willing to try pretty much every organizing hack in the book – and some of them actually work. Desk hutches and desk organizers are worth trying, but strategically placed shelves can also save you a lot of space.

Drawers Are a Must

If you have the luxury of choosing your own desk, make sure it has drawers because they’ll make it easier to keep your desk neat and organized.

Cable Organizer

If you hate dealing with messy charging cables, power strips, and cords all around your desk, consider investing in a practical cable organizer that can help you keep your cables in order.

If you’re looking for a way to look stylish on a tight budget during your college years, thrift stores will get you there. Unfortunately, they’re not always easy to navigate, but we’re here to help you master the art of discovering ultimate thrift store finds.

Take Your Time

Don’t go to a thrift store expecting you can spend 15 minutes inside and call it a day. Treat each visit as a tiny treasure hunt and take time to explore each corner because hidden gems are hiding everywhere.

Clear Goal

If you can’t aside a lot of time for your thrift store visit, make sure to go there with a clear goal in mind and only look through pieces of clothing that you really need.

Do Your Research

Familiarize yourself with different fashion brands and Google the names from the labels to figure out if certain items have a hidden value.

Careful Inspection

Before heading to the register, remember to carefully inspect each item you’re planning to buy to make sure it’s not damaged or stained.

Think Ahead

Don’t buy a certain item just because it “looks cute”. It’s important to try everything on before making a purchase, while also thinking ahead and figuring out if a certain item fits into your wardrobe.

2023 has definitely been the year of Taylor Swift, and we watched her take over every aspect of our lives, including our fitness routine. Workout videos themed around her music are experiencing a boom on YouTube, and EmkFit’s Emily Thorne shared workouts inspired by all of her eras.

1989 (Taylor’s Version)

1989 is Swift’s latest album to be re-released as “Taylor’s Version”. EmkFit’s workout themed around it features some of Swift’s biggest hits, including “Blank Space”, “Bad Blood”, and “Shake It Off”.

Speak Now

Speak Now gave us such songs as “Back to December”, “Story Of Us”, and “Speak Now”, and if you still haven’t tried burning some major calories to their beat—now’s the time!

Red & Fearless

If you’re in the mood for a fun HIIT dance workout inspired by Swift’s albums Red and Fearless, get ready to work out to the beat of “You Belong with Me”, “I Knew You Were Trouble”, and “We Are Never Getting Back Together”.

Midnights

Swift’s last album of original work, Midnights, came out last year, and its biggest hits “Anti-Hero”, “Lavender Haze”, “Karma”, and “Bejeweled” are great workout playlist material.

The Eras Tour

Thorne tried to include one song from all of Swift’s albums in her The Eras Tour workout. The original YouTube version is 30 minutes long, but she later shared a full 45-minute workout on her Patreon page.

Don’t buy a certain item just because it “looks cute”. It’s important to try everything on before making a purchase, while also thinking ahead and figuring out if a certain item fits into your wardrobe.

We all have those days when studying is the last thing on our minds, and we feel overwhelmed and frustrated by our lack of progress. You shouldn’t beat yourself up once these days come, because there are ways to overcome them and turn things around.

Taking Breaks

Most students try to overcome a bad study day by pushing themselves to study more, but that’s a huge mistake. Taking a break to clear your mind is a much better strategy because it will help you regain focus and go back to studying.

Time For Change

Changing the environment is one of the most effective strategies that can help you overcome a bad study day. You can refresh your mind and get a new surge of motivation by moving your study session to a completely different place.

Dig Deeper

If bad study days are becoming a common occurrence, you’ll have to put some effort into getting to the root of the problem. Try to analyze the factors that contributed to your bad study day so you can avoid them in the future.

Do What You Can

If there’s nothing you can change today, consider making better study plans for tomorrow. Break down your study tasks into smaller, manageable goals, and devise a game plan that will get you pumped up for your next study session.

Your diet will probably suffer once you become a college student, and eating fresh foods will seem like a mission impossible – but it doesn’t have to be. Here are several tips and tricks that will help you eat fresh and nutritious foods as a busy college student.  

Dorm Essentials

To ensure you’re eating fresh food on a regular basis, there are certain cooking appliances that you’ll need to have in your dorm. A mini-fridge is a must because it will help you keep your foods fresh, but you should also consider buying a blender and a toaster oven or microwave.

Grocery Shopping

Even if you have all the kitchen essentials in your dorm, it’s impossible to prepare fresh food without fresh ingredients. Hit the local farmer’s market once a week to buy fresh fruit and veggies and stock up on pantry staples such as rice and canned foods.

Dining Hall Choice

If you’re regularly eating at a campus dining hall, try to pick the healthiest and freshest foods possible. Became a regular at a salad bar and make sure to pack your plate with a variety of fresh and tasty fruits and veggies.

Off-Campus Eateries

If eating fresh foods on campus seems like a mission impossible, at least put an effort into eating healthy when you’re off campus. Take your time to explore local eateries and discover the ones that offer fresh and healthy options.

2023 has definitely been the year of Taylor Swift, and we watched her take over every aspect of our lives, including our fitness routine. Workout videos themed around her music are experiencing a boom on YouTube, and EmkFit’s Emily Thorne shared workouts inspired by all of her eras.

1989 (Taylor’s Version)

1989 is Swift’s latest album to be re-released as “Taylor’s Version”. EmkFit’s workout themed around it features some of Swift’s biggest hits, including “Blank Space”, “Bad Blood”, and “Shake It Off”.

Speak Now

Speak Now gave us such songs as “Back to December”, “Story Of Us”, and “Speak Now”, and if you still haven’t tried burning some major calories to their beat—now’s the time!

Red & Fearless

If you’re in the mood for a fun HIIT dance workout inspired by Swift’s albums Red and Fearless, get ready to work out to the beat of “You Belong with Me”, “I Knew You Were Trouble”, and “We Are Never Getting Back Together”.

Midnights

Swift’s last album of original work, Midnights, came out last year, and its biggest hits “Anti-Hero”, “Lavender Haze”, “Karma”, and “Bejeweled” are great workout playlist material.

The Eras Tour

Thorne tried to include one song from all of Swift’s albums in her The Eras Tour workout. The original YouTube version is 30 minutes long, but she later shared a full 45-minute workout on her Patreon page.
