The trek across the bridge comes with many stages. Here they are as told by lyrics to Taylor Swift songs.

Before you step foot on it

“Ready For It”

You have to mentally and physically prepare yourself for the pain you are about to endure.

What you see

“Blank Space”

Campus looks like a postcard from the bridge but is it really worth the misery of taking your hands out of the warmth of your pockets to snap a photo?

About 13 steps in

“Both Of Us”

You immediately begin doubting yourself as your pain threshold is being tested by frigid temperatures and wind pounding your face.

Halfway there

“Mean”

Tears are spilling over your eyes. You can’t feel your limbs. Your heart is as frozen as the Chippewa River.

You aren’t the only one

“You Are In Love”

You see others’ breath linger in the air as a result of their heavy breathing and all you need to know is that this is a battle everyone is fighting.

Just a few steps more

“Shake It Off”

“Chin up, (actually chin down, you need to protect your face from the blistering air) but keep going, you’re almost there,” you tell yourself.

It’s over

“All Too Well”

You made it but can’t stop thinking about the next time you will have to cross it.

Sunny state of mind

“Wildest Dreams”

You finish the rest of your journey on campus, dreaming of sweet, sweet, summertime.

Stay warm, Blugolds!
