Secret Fan Girls

Ed Sheeran's new album, "Divide," is finally out. The grammy award-winning artist released his work on March 3, 2017. You better believe the fans are going crazy. In the album, Ed mentions his lack of a college education. He may not have a degree, but he's certainly a lyrical genius. Here is a list of lyrics from each song that display his brilliance.

1. "Eraser"

"I chased the picture perfect life, I think they painted it wrong."

2. "Castle on the Hill"

"I still remember these old country lanes when we didn't know the answers."

3. "Dive"

"I could fall, or I could fly here in your aeroplane and I could live, I could die hanging on the words you say."


4. "Shape of You"

"Your love was handmade for somebody like me."

5. "Perfect"

"When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath but you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight."

6. "Galway Girl"

"She played the fiddle in an Irish band, but she fell in love with an English man."

7. "Happier"

"My friends told me one day I'll feel it too and until then I'll smile to hide the truth but I know I was happier with you."

8. "Hearts Don't Break Around Here"

"Took my heart on a one-way trip guess she went wandering off with it."

9. "New Man"

"Tribal tattoos and he don't know what it means, but I heard he makes you happy, so that's fine by me."

10. "What Do I Know?"

"We could change this world with a piano add a bass, some guitar, grab a beat and away we go."

11. "How Would You Feel (Paean)"

"Love flows deeper than the river every moment that I spend with you."

12. "Supermarket Flowers"

"It's tearing me up, but I know that a heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved."

"So I'll sing Hallelujah you were an angel in the shape of my mum."

"When God takes you back He'll say, 'Hallelujah you're home.'"

13. "Barcelona"

"I fell in love with the sparkle in the moonlight reflected in your beautiful eyes. I guess that is destiny doing it right. "

14. "Bibia Be Ye Ye"

"And in the pocket of my jeans are only coins and broken dreams."


15. "Nancy Mulligan"

"Nancy was my yellow rose and we got married wearing borrowed clothes. We got eight children, now growing old, five sons and three daughters."

16. "Save Myself"

"And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf, no farewell. So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself."

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
