Ed Sheeran's Divide

An interesting mix.

Ed Sheeran's Divide
Ed Sheeran

A few months ago, I wrote a review of the first two singles off of Ed Sheeran's "Divide." In the review, I talked about how they made me even more interested in the new album in question. The album that he released was varied, as the first two releases would've suggested. There were parts where he returned to his "singer with a flow" past, particularly in the opening track, "Eraser". There are slower songs, like "How Would You Feel (Paean)", that I would expect people to start playing at weddings, and tearjerkers like the ironically titled "Happier" and "Supermarket Flowers", which is a different kind of sad, similar to "Afire Love", from his second album "Multiply".

Another song that sticks out to me as similar to something off "Multiply" was "Dive". With the more retro feel, thanks mostly to the guitar style, it sounds like "Thinking Out Loud". The song was co-written by Julia Michaels, who you may have recently heard on the radio with her new song "Issues". This song gets its own paragraph because it is easily my favorite off the album.

As expected, the album is filled with relatable lyrics. Examples of this include "I chased the picture perfect life/I think they painted it wrong" and "Don't call me baby/Unless you mean it."

There's also plenty on this album for those of us who just want to listen to happy music. "Perfect" and "Galway Girl" sound completely different, but both evoke the warmth and joy associated with love that's going right.

With so many different things going on, I would argue that even if you're not into the whole album, there will be something on here that you'll be interested in.

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.
