A Review Of Harry Styles' Solo Album From Someone Who Wasn't A One Direction Fan
Mikayla Lawrence

I do have to admit that before Harry Styles started to release some his singles from the album "Harry Styles," I wasn't a huge fan. I was never that into One Direction. But this album was released, and now my life is changed. Let's just say, I AM A FAN. I am still at a lose for words. This is my reaction to every song on the album, it might seem all over the place, but please, stay with me..

1. "Meet Me in the Hallway."

What a great start to the album. I cannot say it enough. It's the meaning of hope wrapped up into one song.

2. "Sign of the Times."

Every time this one comes on, I kid you not, I physically sigh and start swaying back and forth. No matter where I am — it has become very problematic.

3. "Carolina."

Carolina is so old-school, in the best way possible. And it's fast paced, in the best way possible. It is just the BEST.

4. "Two Ghosts."

I love this one because it is so raw and real. Everyone has this experience, because everyone changes whether we like it or not. "We are not who we used to be."

5. "Sweet Creature."

Just as you think that you are done recovering from "Two Ghosts,"you are blessed with this track. It tears you apart all over again without even trying.

6. "Only Angel."


This one's great — obviously. They are all great. It starts off slow and you think that you are in for another emotional roller-coaster like the two previous songs... But then WHAM — yes, wham — it picks up, and next thing you know, it has you on your feet dancing.

7. "Kiwi."

You can get down and groove to this one. It's fun, it's deep, it's PERFECT. This is one of my favorites because you can't help but dance to it, and if you know me, you know that I love to dance.

8. "Ever Since New York."

Taylor Swift... What did you do to Harry?! But thank you for doing it, because if she hadn't, we wouldn't have this glorious track.

9. "Woman."

Oh man. This one of my favorites on the entire album. It is so catchy and old school. I can't help but bust out the air guitar.

10. "From the Dining Table."

One of my favorite lines from the album comes from this song, "comfortable silence is so overrated." I CANNOT.

Then it ends. And you are left with the lyrics "even my phone misses your call, by the way." You are left crying, so you decide to listen to it again, and it turns into an entire soul-crushing, happy-crying, life-contemplating cycle.

This album has a song for everyone. I can see an older guy at the laundry mat getting down to "Carolina" or grandparents slow dancing to "From the Dinning Table." There are some great party songs. My parents would love this album. Your parents would love this album. I don't think I've had so many emotions while listening to an album since Ed Sheeran's "Divide" (which I also recommend). I hope that my reactions to each song will encourage you to take a listen — just be prepared.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
