A Review Of Harry Styles' Solo Album From Someone Who Wasn't A One Direction Fan
Mikayla Lawrence

I do have to admit that before Harry Styles started to release some his singles from the album "Harry Styles," I wasn't a huge fan. I was never that into One Direction. But this album was released, and now my life is changed. Let's just say, I AM A FAN. I am still at a lose for words. This is my reaction to every song on the album, it might seem all over the place, but please, stay with me..

1. "Meet Me in the Hallway."

What a great start to the album. I cannot say it enough. It's the meaning of hope wrapped up into one song.

2. "Sign of the Times."

Every time this one comes on, I kid you not, I physically sigh and start swaying back and forth. No matter where I am — it has become very problematic.

3. "Carolina."

Carolina is so old-school, in the best way possible. And it's fast paced, in the best way possible. It is just the BEST.

4. "Two Ghosts."

I love this one because it is so raw and real. Everyone has this experience, because everyone changes whether we like it or not. "We are not who we used to be."

5. "Sweet Creature."

Just as you think that you are done recovering from "Two Ghosts,"you are blessed with this track. It tears you apart all over again without even trying.

6. "Only Angel."


This one's great — obviously. They are all great. It starts off slow and you think that you are in for another emotional roller-coaster like the two previous songs... But then WHAM — yes, wham — it picks up, and next thing you know, it has you on your feet dancing.

7. "Kiwi."

You can get down and groove to this one. It's fun, it's deep, it's PERFECT. This is one of my favorites because you can't help but dance to it, and if you know me, you know that I love to dance.

8. "Ever Since New York."

Taylor Swift... What did you do to Harry?! But thank you for doing it, because if she hadn't, we wouldn't have this glorious track.

9. "Woman."

Oh man. This one of my favorites on the entire album. It is so catchy and old school. I can't help but bust out the air guitar.

10. "From the Dining Table."

One of my favorite lines from the album comes from this song, "comfortable silence is so overrated." I CANNOT.

Then it ends. And you are left with the lyrics "even my phone misses your call, by the way." You are left crying, so you decide to listen to it again, and it turns into an entire soul-crushing, happy-crying, life-contemplating cycle.

This album has a song for everyone. I can see an older guy at the laundry mat getting down to "Carolina" or grandparents slow dancing to "From the Dinning Table." There are some great party songs. My parents would love this album. Your parents would love this album. I don't think I've had so many emotions while listening to an album since Ed Sheeran's "Divide" (which I also recommend). I hope that my reactions to each song will encourage you to take a listen — just be prepared.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
