Here are the seven songs that I have been jamming out to since I've been back at school for a week.



1. Shape of You - Ed Sheeran

It is very new (just released on January 6) and it makes me want to dance. It has what might be a marimba that gives it a jazzy beat and the vocals are upbeat and catchy. It's a fun song and would make a great dance party song.


2. Castle on the Hill - Ed Sheeran

Also recently released, it is a nice chill out song that's about returning to your home after being gone for a long time. He's reminiscing about all the things that he did when he was younger and all the things he misses about the place where he grew up. I like it because it reminds me to remember where I come from no matter where I go.


3. Say You Won't Let Go- James Arthur

This song shows a developing relationship throughout the years from when they were young and when they are married and have kids and until they are "grey and old". It's a very sweet song and is quite beautiful.



4. Love Me Now-John Legend

This song to me is about taking chances because you don't know what is coming so you should make the most of what you have every day.


5. Dancing On My Own-Calum Scott

If you want all the feels check out this song. Its about giving it your best shot and still not being what someone else needs. Its about feeling rejected and alone because of feelings that are not reciprocated.


6. Mercy-Shawn Mendes

To me, this song is about being in love with someone even after it needs to end and asking them to "have mercy" on you and let you go. It's another feels song, so beware.



7. Scars To Your Beautiful- Alessia Clara

This is about the media effect on body image and is a great self love anthem. It's about how the way we talk about people's bodies and our own perceptions of our bodies need to change. That we don't need to change our bodies we need to change our minds.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

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!
