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."

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
