Shawn Mendes

Unless you've been living under a rock, you definitely know Shawn Mendes is one of the biggest stars in the world right now. His career began with him making Youtube and Vine videos of himself singing, which quickly skyrocketed him into the spotlight.

Not only does Mendes have a falsetto that could instantly melt anyone's heart, but his Canadian charm makes him hard to resist. Previous heartthrobs have had a bad boy side to them that makes them desirable, but, contrarily, Mendes does not and it makes him that much more desirable. He has had no big scandal to tarnish his reputation as of yet, and I think I speak for most of his fans when I say this behavior streak continues.

With his third studio self-titled album that was released earlier this year on May 25th, his career is flourishing with success. Shawn's even preparing to embark on a world tour next spring! He does not let his fame go unappreciated either. He is one of the most humble and genuine celebrities out there right now who is outwardly thankful to all of his fans for his success. Before releasing his album, he invited a lucky group of fans to listen to his album with him for the first time.

Mendes cares about his fans and wanted them to have a chance to listen to his album with him before it was released. Seeing as Mendes is only twenty-years-old, he definitely understands how intense and expensive following artists can be in this day and age. Doing little things like these listening sessions or simply meeting fans outside of his hotel keeps his fans hopeful for a chance to meet him.

See Shawn's talent and fan love for yourself! Doesn't he make you swoon?

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

how to adult

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
