Can't quit the wit

“That moment when you buy scissors and then you try to open them but you can't because you DON'T HAVE SCISSORS”

 -Taylor Swift Twitter.

Let me ask, where does the comedy end!? If any of you are real fans of Taylor like myself, you most likely follow her Twitter and/or Instagram account which means you know that she has a wit that just can't be tamed. If everyone could be as funny as Taylor Swift, the world would be a much better place. I have taken the time to grace you with some of my recent favs from her Instagram.

So yes, the goal of the week is be witty and develop a killer sense of humor. 

I don't consider myself to be hilarious, however I do appreciate a good laugh. Who doesn't!? So I have done some research and I have compiled together a list of helpful hints and tips that I found helpful on how to develop a good sense of humor. You're welcome. 

1. Don't take yourself so seriously!

 Relax, learn to laugh at yourself. Be comfortable with speaking up, and worry less about what people think. 

2. Know your audience.

Everyone views humor differently, so get a feel for the people you are trying to get a laugh out of.

3. Exaggeration and realism. 

Being overly real, or exaggerating can be funny. As long as you can play it off as a joke, and people aren't taking you too seriously, this trick is gold.

4. Be comfortable.

Be okay with having the attention on you. Don't get embarrassed and have fun. Cease the attention. 

That's all I got guys. Like I said, I am not exactly a comedian over here. I think it's most important to just learn to laugh at yourself and not take things so seriously. If you think you are funny, others will too. Maybe. I don't know, maybe that's just me lying to myself. 

If you aren't hard on yourself, others won't be either.. and if they are, well "haters gonna hate" - Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swifts Got Talent

Talented may be a slight understatement when referring to the queen of pop music. Taylor Swift is more than just your everyday talent, she is in my honest opinion, one of the most talented people on the face of the planet. Did I really just say that? Yes. Let me tell you why I truly think this. 

Taylor Swift was singing in local coffee shops by age 10. She learned how to play the guitar at age 12, and began writing her own music. Since then, she has learned two other instruments, and continues to write most of her own songs. Not only is Taylor Swift  responsible for writing most of her own music to this day, but she produces her own music videos. She is also responsible for creating her own fan base and social media accounts that have gained her millions of followers, and insane popularity. 

 So let's recap. Taylor is writing her own songs, creating her own music, producing and preforming in her own music videos, all while being on a world tour performing at least three times a week. If that's not talent, I don't know what is. 

So how do we strive to be a little more like Taylor this week? We simply learn three musical instruments, write over 200 hundred songs, and gain enough fan base that we get paid millions of dollars to tour the world. Easy right? Wrong.

Trying to obtain something like Taylor's natural knack for talent isn't about being as talented as her in the exact same ways as her. It is about finding what we are good at, finding what we love to do, and going for it. We can't hide our talents. So while trying to improve upon my dance skills and vocal chords this week, I learned that despite the fact I'm just short of moves like Jagger, being a pop star might not be my calling in life. I found things that I love to do and things that I feel like I am good at and I worked really hard to expound upon those things. So here's the challenge of the week everybody, ask yourselves "what would Taylor do?". Then go find your talents and make your Wildest Dreams come true, because I know All Too Well that it's what Taylor would do. 

I want to be like Taylor

Why Taylor Swift you ask? Better question... Why not Taylor Swift? 
For years now, Taylor has been rapidly making her way up the pop star ladder of success. She has millions of fans, and possibly even more money. How does she do it? How does a small town girl born in Pennsylvania to a typical American family reach the height of fame with limited help while maintaining relationships and reaching out to adoring fans all over the world? What is it about Taylor Swift that makes people fall so easily in love with her? There are so many reasons as to why everyone should not only love Taylor Swift, but even more than

that, strive to become like her. I personally have been a fan of Taylor Swift even long before she cried teardrops on her guitar over Drew. So if you think I am biased, you may be right. If you don't want to take my word for it, take her millions of albums sold, countless music awards, and her die hard fans as a sign that she is more than just any music artist. She is nothing short of one of the greatest role models EVER! So do the world a favor and stop questioning your love for her. If anything, relate to her. One of the greatest things about Taylor Swift
is how she undoubtably relates to everyone. Don't believe me? Listen to her music.
Whether it's Michael Jordan, Brad Pitt or the President of the United States, everybody has somebody that they aspire to be more like. And that is totally fine! There is nothing wrong with wanting to obtain qualities of one who you look up to and admire. However, if you are going to pick somebody to be more like, make sure they are worth your time. Make sure they are a good role model, an example of success, and a person of genuine and kind hearted interest. Make sure they are dedicated, hard working, loved by many, and simply amazing. Basically, make sure they are like Taylor Swift.
