21 Iconic Lyrics From Lorde's "Melodrama"
Brian van der Brug

It's been a little over a month since Lorde released her new album Melodrama and if you listen closely, you can still hear me screaming about it. It has definitely become my album of the summer and in honor of its greatness, I figured I'd compile some of my favorite lyrics from Melodrama. These are either lyrics that will seep deep into your bones or hit you with an extreme wave of relatability. Basically, these lyrics will have you saying "Melo-damn, Lorde."

1. "She thinks you love the beach, you're such a damn liar." - Green Light

If you don't sing this lyric through gritted teeth, you're missing out.

2. "Well those rumors, they have big teeth. Hope they bite you." - Green Light

3. "Well summer slipped us underneath her tongue." - The Louvre

Personifying summer is something I think many of us are here for.

4. "I overthink your punctuation use." - The Louvre

It's safe to say Lorde isn't alone on this one.

5. "But we're the greatest, they'll hang us in the Louvre. Down the back, but who cares -- still the Louvre." - The Louvre

Still the Louvre.

6. "She's so hard to please, but she's a forest fire." - Liability

7. "We slow dance in the living room, but all that a stranger would see is one girl swaying alone, stroking her cheek." - Liability

Lorde singing about self-love will pretty much fuel you for the rest of 2017.

8. "But every perfect summer's eating me alive until you're gone." - Liability

9. "They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun. You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun." - Liability

10. "Please, could you be tender? And I will sit close to you." - Hard Feelings/Loveless

11. "I care for myself the way I used to care about you." - Hard Feelings/Loveless

This line can definitely apply to anyone. Whether they're reminded of a relationship or a friendship when they listen to it, it's a lyric that definitely speaks volumes.

12. "Bet you wanna rip my heart out? Bet you wanna skip my calls now? Well, guess what? I like that." - Hard Feelings/Loveless

13. "We're L.O.V.E.L.E.S.S Generation." - Hard Feelings/Loveless

You can't resist boppin' to this part of the song.

14. "And the terror, and the horror, when we wonder why we bother." - Sober II (Melodrama)

15. "Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark." - Writer In The Dark

16. "I'll be your quiet afternoon crush, be your violent overnight rush..." - Supercut

17. "Cause in my head (in my head, I do everything right)." - Supercut

Too real. Too relatable.

18. "We were wild and fluorescent, come home to my heart." - Supercut

19 . "Aah!" - Supercut

This is a scream that Lorde does at 2:33 and it's that good that it's on the list. You won't regret listening to it. It's the scream of the year.

20. "All of our heroes fading..." - Perfect Places

21 . "Trying to find these perfect places. What the f*** are perfect places anyway?" - Perfect Places

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
