13 Best Lyrics From Lorde's "Melodrama"
Rolling Stone

The day is finally here - it's been years since "Pure Heroine" was released, and Lorde's sophomore album, "Melodrama," debuted just a few days ago. It is everything I expected and more - Lorde's uniqueness and emotions shine through in all 11 of the album's tracks. The lyrics to each song are absolutely incredible; each song tells its own story and makes you feel exactly what Lorde is feeling. Although each and every single lyric is great, below are a few of the ones that really stand out to me:

1.

"But we're the greatest
They'll hang us in the Louvre


Down the back, but who cares - still the Louvre"

- The Louvre

2.

"The truth is I am a toy
That people enjoy


'Til all of the tricks don't work anymore


And then they are bored of me"

- Liability

3.

"Cause I remember the rush, when forever was us
Before all of the winds of regret and mistrust


Now we sit in your car and our love is a ghost


Well I guess I should go


Yeah I guess I should go"

- Hard Feelings / Loveless

4.

"When you've outgrown a lover
The whole world knows but you


It's time to let go of this endless summer afternoon"

- Hard Feelings / Loveless

5.

"I ride the subway, read the signs
I let the seasons change my mind


I love it here since I've stopped needing you"

- Writer In The Dark

6.

"I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops"

- Writer In The Dark

7.

"Cause in my head (in my head, I do everything right)
When you call (when you call, I'll forgive and not fight)


Because ours (are the moments I play in the dark)


We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart"

- Supercut

8.

"I hate the headlines and the weather

I'm 19 and I'm on fire

But when we're dancing I'm alright"

- Perfect Places

9.

"I light all the candles
Cut flowers for all my rooms


I care for myself the way I used to care about you"

- Hard Feelings / Loveless

10.

"Three years, loved you every single day, made me weak, it was real for me, yup, real for me"

- Hard Feelings / Loveless

11.

"These are the games of the weekend
We pretend that we just don't care


But we care


(But what will we do when we're sober?)"

- Sober

12.

"And in my head
The visions never stop


These ribbons wrap me up


But when I reach for you


There's just a supercut"

- Supercut

13.

"We told you this was melodrama

You wanted something that we offered"

- Sober II (Melodrama)

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
