Anyone who knows me at all knows that I have the biggest obsession with Ed Sheeran and I have had an obsession with him for the longest time. If you wanted to know something about him, I'm sure I could tell you. He's one of my favorite artists for several reasons, his meaningful lyrics, witty phrases, and funny interviews keep me hooked on this beautiful ginger.

He is someone that has continued to stay down to earth and stick to his morals while being famous. If that doesn't make you respect him as a person then I don't know what will. The way he talks about women and how respectful he is towards women is my favorite thing about him.

For example, here are a couple quotes:

His lyrics have so much meaning behind them and like any artist, all of his songs have little hidden phrases or sayings that you may not catch the first time you listen to it. You'll listen to his lyrics and you'll find things that you missed before. Every time I listen to his songs I will find something that I didn't hear before that adds a deeper meaning and makes me love the song even more than I did before. It's like getting a little present every time you listen to a song of his.

My favorite song of his is "Wake Me Up" and in the song he says,

"I could do without a tan, on my left hand where my fourth finger meets my knuckle" which is a very meaningful way of basically saying that he wouldn't mind marrying you. In the song he also says,
"So I'll take you to the beach
And walk along the sand
And I'll make you a heart pendant
With a pebble held in my hand
And I'll carve it like a necklace
So the heart falls where your chest is
And now a piece of me is a piece of the beach and it falls just where it needs to be
And rests peacefully
So you just need to breathe to feel my heart against yours now
Against yours now."

If that didn't make you fall in love with him, you must not have a heart because that song is the whole reason for my obsession with him.

The way he can write a song so poetically about someone is one of the reasons I am so intrigued by him. He doesn't just make a song for you to listen to, he creates art. The way he describes a person and the events that he has been through is so amazing. The way he writes his songs with so much power and emotion makes me look up to him as a writer.

And THAT is why I am obsessed with Ed Sheeran.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
