Here's Why You Should Listen To "Shawn Mendes: The Album"
Peyton Roux

Shawn Mendes. A beautiful human being who writes even more beautiful songs. His newest album came out on Friday, May 25, and let me tell you: Best. One. Yet.

Before he released the album, he had released five of the songs as singles, the first being "In My Blood." If that song isn't enough to make you want to listen to the whole album, you're a lost cause. Sorry.

In his first single from the album, he talks about how he "feels like giving up" but he "just can't" because (surprise) "it isn't in [his] blood." This song is probably the most relatable song on the album, "Queen" being a close second.

"Queen" is about how someone makes "beautiful look ugly," and honestly? That's all people do nowadays. You can be gorgeous, but as soon as you let ugly words escape you, you're ugly.

Another great song on this album is "Youth" featuring Khalid, which was the third single off of this album. (Come on people, it has KHALID.) This is, again, an extremely relatable song. You can't and you won't take Shawn's youth away, nor will you take mine.

If those three songs haven't convinced you yet, let me let you in on a little secret: this album isn't like his previous ones. Instead of being piano heavy, this album is a mixture of R&B and Rock. It's kind of like Shawn was recently inspired by Justin Timberlake. (He most definitely was.)

Now, guys, I know what you're thinking. Listening to Shawn will make me lose my cred with my boys. INcorrect. I have my boyfriend listening to all of Shawn's songs and he actually enjoys his songs. (I know, it's amazing, right?)

So seriously, go check out his album. It's incredible how much he's grown in the past few years, and even more incredible that he's only 19.

All of the songs can be found on YouTube, Spotify, and iTunes!

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.

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.
