12 Reasons You Should Love Ed Sheeran

I have this problem where I obsess over things way too easily and lose interest just as quickly. But I've loved Ed Sheeran for as long as I can remember and I don't think that this obsession is ever going away. Here's just a few of the reasons why:

1. His lyrics

In a generation where the phrase "Netflix and Chill" exists, Ed brings romance back into music. I mean c'mon, people, he writes them himself.

2. His glorious red hair

I may be biased because I love red hair, but Ed's is probably why I love red hair so much. It's perfectly messy and unkempt and adorable.

3. His crazy tattoos

They all have something to do with his career, including his new giant Cecil the Lion tattoo on his chest. Which for him, celebrates his sold out show at Wembly Stadium. You can listen to him explain it on Ellen here.



This picture is reason number 3.5 because I mean just look at him in all his shirtless, cowboy hat glory.

4. He wrote "Love Yourself" with Justin Bieber and it's my new jam, tbh.

As if Justin's new album, "Purpose" wasn't already amazing this song just makes it. Listen to it. Seriously. You won't be disappointed.

5. The way he responds to the media

This just proves how he really does not care what people think of him. He does what's right for him and what makes him happy. We can all learn a lesson from that.



On that note...

6. His fashion sense

Flannel on flannels on flannels.. but I'm not complainin'. *heart eyes emoji*


7. His Snapchat stories

This pretty much says it all.

8. His adaptability

He's a musical chameleon. He transitions so easily and somehow makes whatever he does sound amazing.


9. He is just so relatable

His twitter account is GOLD.




10. He loves cats

He devoted an entire music video to getting drunk with his cat bUT LOOK AT THIS AT THIS GIF. JUST LOOK AT THE CUTENESS. Plus also the Grumpy Cat hat.

11. This version of "Wake Me Up" Live at the Bedford

I may have listened to this 1 million times.

12. He sounds just as amazing live as he does on his albums

I have seen Ed in concert twice and he has never disappointed. He uses a loop pedal and an acoustic guitar and that's it. But somehow he makes it work flawlessly.

But, my life would not be the same without his music. His lyrics speak to me in a way other music can't and these are just a few of the reason why I'm such a fan.


Carry on.

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?

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.

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!)
