New Ed Music...Finally!

Ed Sheeran is back in the public eye after a long hiatus. After the cheers of New Years rang out, Ed rolled in with an announcement on Twitter of new music to come. We patiently awaited as the singles rolled in. "Castle on the Hill" made us all feel nostalgia for a life we didn't even experience and "Shape of You" had us dancing around our homes. Then on Ed's birthday, he dropped a beautiful melody entitled "How Would You Feel". This one pulled on the heart strings for me, but little did I know what my heart would be feeling when the whole album came out!

March 3rd. A beautiful day! The world was introduced to Ed's best album yet! And I do not use "best" loosely. Ed said in an MTV interview that he truly believed his best work is displayed in Divide. Now if you haven't heard this album...listen to it right now. It's an experience from beginning to end. There is a bit of Irish tinge to a lot of the songs, upbeat music, heart wrenching music and even a beautiful waltz-like piece--written in 6/8 which isn't always typical with today's popular music.

This 6/8 tune is called "Perfect" and was the first song he wrote for the album! He also mentioned in his MTV interview why there was an Irish inspiration for some of his songs other than his background. He was a fan of an Irish band that was in touch with a friend of his. He recorded seven total songs with the band, but only "Galway Girl" made it.

Now as for the album art, the artist in me loved hearing Ed speak on the inspiration for that! He had met an artist named Damien Hirst who creates a lot of large scale spin art. He straps up a large canvas to a device that spins it. He allowed Ed Sheehan to come to his studio and experiment with it. Thus the Divide album cover was born.

There are so many interesting facts behind the new album. Definitely watch the full interview and look into any questions you may have about his music. The stories behind songs are always so enticing!

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.
