The day has come! Ed Sheeran is finally back and as wonderful as ever. His third album, "Divide" debuted Friday, March 3rd. His disappearance from the music scene was worth the wait. This album is so beautifully created and wonderful. As a huge Ed fan, I wanted to review his new album and share my thoughts on each song.

1. Eraser

HE IS RAPPING. ED IS RAPPING THANK GOODNESS. I interpreted this song as Ed's way of telling his fans how he stays true to himself through the fame. My favorite line in this song says "I find comfort in my pain." reminding us fans that hey, he is a real person and feels what we feel. Props to him.

2. Castle on the Hill

I envision this song being used for a John Green film. Quick John Green get a new movie out there and feature this song.

3. Dive

The passion in his voice makes me swoon. Heart eyes all the way.

4. Shape of You

If you haven't heard this song by now, you probably live under a rock. How could you not love this song? PS check out the acoustic version of this.

5. Perfect

Dibs on using this song for my wedding someday. Literally it's perfect, hence the title.

6. Galway Girl

THERE IS A FIDDLE. Yes Ed yes. I love how he is incorporating different sounds into his music. Mix of folk, with hip hop beats and it blends so nicely.

7. Happier

When I listened to this song I interpreted it as trying to find happiness for an ex friend or partner. It can be hard to see an ex happy without you, but in the end seeing them happy is all that matters. And finding happiness without them too.

8. New Man

The lyrics in this song are so sneaky and just great. I love how Ed talks about a girl changing for a guy. We can all relate somehow.

9. Hearts Don't Break Around Here

Another yet sweet love song by Ed. Ed sets the bar high for all the other men out there. Step up your game.

10. What Do I Know?

Ed is smart. Ed is also not the type of person who will try to prove how smart and intelligent he is. Be like Ed.

11. How Would You Feel (Paean)

ISO of man to sing this song to me. Or Ed you can sing it to me in person. HMU.

12. Supermarket Flowers

The range in his voice. Oh my goodness. This song is beautiful. I cried. Listen to it.

13. Barcelona

This song made me want to pack my bags, hit the beach, and dance all night. I predict this will be a bit hit this summer.

14. Bibia Be Ye Ye

I also think this song will be a hit this summer. Great for road trips to the beach.

15. Nancy Mulligan

MORE FIDDLE. Seriously I love how Ed is incorporating folk styles into his own style.

16. Save Myself

I relate so much to this song. I do so much for other people but never get anything in return. That is why I need to start putting myself first to well save myself. This song is a great reality check.

Well Ed you did it again. Thank you.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
