16 Underrated Lines From Ed Sheeran's "Divide"
Billboard

I have been listening to "Divide" on repeat for the past week and there have been a few times when I wondered why I haven't gotten tired of it yet. I finally realized that it was because of the incredible variety of songs that showcase the true extent of Ed Sheeran's musical ability. He has the ability to smoothly transition from songs about falling in love into ones about the struggles of making a life for himself. Somehow, these songs are all equally mesmerizing and understandable. I decided to compile a list of what I think are the best, but most underrated lines from the songs on "Divide."

1. "Eraser"

"When the world's against me is when I really come alive and everyday that Satan tempts me, I try to take it in my stride."

2. "Castle on the Hill"

"I was younger then, take me back to when I found my heart and broke it here, made friends and lost them through the years."

3. "Dive"

"I've been known to give my all, sitting back, looking at every mess that I made."

4. "Shape of You"

"Your love was handmade for somebody like me."

5. "Perfect"

"When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath, but you heard it. Darling, you look perfect tonight."

6. "Galway Girl"

"I swear I'm going to put you in a song that I write about a Galway girl and a perfect night."

7. "Happier"

"I saw that both your smiles were twice as wide as ours. Yeah you look happier, you do."

8. "New Man"

"But still, I'm just keeping it real, still looking at your Instagram and I'll be creeping a little. I'll be trying not to double tap, from way back, cause I know that's where the trouble's at."

9. "Hearts Don't Break Around Here"

"Took my heart upon a one way trip, guess she went wandering off with it. Unlike most women I know, this one will bring it back whole."

10. "What do I Know?"

"You know, the future's in the hands of you and me. So let's all get together, we can all be free. Spread love and understanding, positivity."

11. "How Would You Feel (Paean)"

"We were sat upon our best friend's roof. I had both of my arms round you, watching the sunrise replace the moon."

12. "Supermarket Flowers"

"I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill, threw the day old tea from the cup, packed up the photo album Matthew had made- memories of a life that's been loved."

13. "Barcelona"

"I fell in love with the sparkle in the moonlight reflected in your beautiful eyes, I guess that is destiny doing it right."

14. "Bibia Be Ye Ye"

"I get lonely and make mistakes from time to time. Se enioma enko ye (if thing's aren't working out), Bibia Be Ye Ye (everything will be alright)."

15. "Nancy Mulligan"

"From a farm boy born near Belfast town, I never worried about the king and crown cause I found my heart upon the southern ground. There's no difference, I assure ya."

16. "Save Myself"

"I gave you all my energy and I took away your pain cause human beings are destined to radiate or drain."

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
