Did Ed Sheeran Just Save 2016?
Jan Kuča

I think we can all agree that 2016 has kind of been a dud, as far as being a year with good things. Trust me there were plenty of things that made me happy this year, from my exciting internship to an amazing summer with my family, it wasn't all bad, but there were definitely a lot of negative moments as well, but let's not dwell on that.

Something big just happened this week, and if you have read one of my prior articles you may know why this week is good. This past week after a lengthy hiatus, actually a year to be exact, was broken when Ed Sheeran tweeted a mysterious blue square. This mysterious tweet could only mean one thing, right? That the red headed musician is about to make a triumphant return to music...

In The Twelve Months Of '15, The News Gave To Me...

As an avid Ed Sheeran fan, I can only explain this occurrence as one of the redeeming moments of 2016. In a year filled with "work" anthems and otherwise subpar music moments, this promise of an imminent return has many sighing in relief.

Last year on December 12, Sheeran posted a note to his fans on Instagram, which was shared on Facebook and Twitter, it read:

Hello all. I'm taking a break from my phone emails and all social media for a while, I've had such an amazing ride over the last 5 years but I find myself seeing the world through a screen and not my eyes so I'm taking this opportunity of me not having to be anywhere or do anything to travel the world and see everything I missed. To my family and friends, if you love me you will understand me buggering off for a bit, to my fans, the 3rd album is on its way and is the best thing I have made thus far. See you all next autumn, and thank you for being amazing.
Ed x


This post was the last thing fans had heard of the singer, and were gladly greeted with this mysterious tweet a year to the date and time since his last post.


Along with the post, all of his social media accounts posted the blue square as well as set the color as all profile images and cover photos. This sudden emergence, may not seem like much, but if his prior album art is any indication, Sheeran has an affinity for bright colors. Maybe we have the ultimate Christmas gift on the horizon or a simple promise that 2017 will be a lot brighter, especially with a voice like Sheerans.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
