In response to “Words of Taylor Swift inspire UI poetry course” (Sat., Dec. 28 Gazette):
The other night, I had the worst nightmare ever.
I dreamed I was back in college, rushing through the corridors of Macbride Hall to take a final for a class I’d skipped all semester: “The Genius of Taylor Swift 101.”
I woke up in a cold sweat, relieved it was just a dream — and not the current state of higher education … or was it!?
