In case you missed the memo, Yungblood and Halsey have made it clear that they're dating. Rumors sparked a couple months ago from an instagram post made by Halsey. The picture posted was the two of them walking along a sidewalk in Camden with Yungblood having his arm wrapped around Halsey. While the rumors floated around, a couple weeks later Halsey posted a painting she made of Yungblood that added fuel to the fire.

But that wasn't the only piece of art that was being made.

The two collaborated on a newest single that's been dropped called 11 minutes ft. Travis Barker (who kills it on the drums, btw). The lyrics are emotional, painful, and tug at your heart strings effortlessly. The music adds a sad, mellow feel to the song but what really delivers are their voices. This duo have their own distinct qualities but they each share an ability to hit a raspy range without a problem. When you take these characteristics and throw them together to make a song you create a masterpiece. The soft piano playing at the end adds a nice touch as well.



If the song alone doesn't make you feel some type of way then you need to watch the music video.

At first watch you can pick up on three solid parts: Halsey is in a car crash and Yungblood is trying to run to the scene of the accident four different times. A clock on Yungbloods nightstand flashes the five stages of grief (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance) throughout the whole video. This raises a lot of questions about what exactly the video is about but the most popular theory seems to be survivor's guilt.

It's clear that in this video Halsey ends up in a life ending crash. Yungblood has an 11 minute time frame to get to Halsey, but each time he tries to get to her there's always something that sets him back by a split second. During every attempt to save her, one of the five stages of grief will show up on the screen. It shows the struggle of him working through the guilt and how it can affect someone.

'11 Minutes' is a powerful song with an equally as powerful video to match it. Along with being an adorable couple, Hasley and Yungblood have created a relatable, impactful song that's sure to hit you where it hurts.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
