Why The Weeknd Will Always Have My Heart

Why The Weeknd Will Always Have My Heart

Every morning, my roommate will catch me listening to The Weeknd's new album Beauty Behind the Madness that was released on August 28, the exact date that has changed my life forever.

This album includes the top hits "Earned It" (that was featured as a song in 50 Shades of Grey), "Can't Feel My Face" and "The Hills." But the songs that weren't debuted as singles are not given enough credit. When I say this is the hottest album I've ever listened to, I mean it. I have never been the type to download an artist's whole album, just the songs I know, but for Beauty Behind the Madness, that isn't the case. I know every single song on it and can sing the words to you without even having the song playing -- that's how much I've listened to this wonderful creation created by the talented man whose real name is Abel Tesfaye.

We have heard Tesfaye's songs since 2011, and every song he has put out since then has been a mixture of R&B, Hip-Hop and EDM (Electronic Dance Music.) His voice is sensual and smooth. His lyrics are sometimes derogatory, but are not short of his personal thoughts and experiences. Tesfaye also reminds us through his lyrics that he is here to stay and the life he lives is 'trill.' If you haven't heard any of his songs yet, I suggest listening to a radio station because they literally play at least three of his songs every minute, and even back-to-back (not kidding.)

All in all, I haven't gotten tired of this album, and I don't plan on it any time soon. It is just too perfect and can't wait to see what more The Weeknd has in store for his fans. I just know that whatever it is, it will definitely be hard to top this one. I am usually one that is never obsessed with a celebrity because I can't know them personally, but Abel makes it easy for me to love him. So props to you, Abel.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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

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.

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
