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."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
