What 22 Means For Those Of Us Who Aren’t Taylor Swift

Taylor-Swift-22-Video-Feature

It seems like a bad time to try to land a first job
What with the economy, uh oh, uh oh
It seems like a bad time to graduate from college
Guess I’ll join the welfare mob, uh oh, uh oh

Nooooo
We’re lonely, broke, misled, and jobless all at once now
It’s the worst and awful
Oh, no
Today’s the day I have to move back to my hometown
Right now

Uh oh
I don’t know about you,
But I’m feeling 22
I’ve got no plan right now
My God, I am so screwed
Do you feel like me?
Do you think we’ll make it through?
Everything just sucks right now
I wish I’d never turned
22
22

It seems like one of those times
My life is over
I’m at home with my parents, uh oh, uh oh (Thanks a lot Obama, anyway, ew)
It seems like one of those times
I question student loans and stare at my degree
I’ll cry myself to sleep

Nooooo
We’re lonely, broke, mislead, and jobless in an instant
It’s the worst and awful
Oh, no
Tonight’s the night I apply for government assistance
Listen

Uh oh
I don’t know about you,
But I’m feeling 22
I’ve got a Comm degree
So what does that do?
I’ve applied for a thousand jobs
But it’s just no use
Everything just sucks right now
I wish I’d never turned
22

  1. As someone typing this from my parents’ house, this hits uncomfortably close to home.

  2. Haha this was a good rendition of the song… Way too accurate for comfort though.

  4. So glad that you wrote this…because Taylor Swift’s portrayal of 22 year olds is inaccurate.

  6. This article = fail.

    If there was a music video it would be funny, but parodies don’t work when they are half assed. Congrats you’ve managed to be a low rent version of Weird Al.

    You’d think you’d understand this failure as a com major.
