Why I Love Ed Sheeran
Rolling Stone

Everyone knows who Ed Sheeran is. How can you not when he has had hits like "The A-Team," "Sing," "Photograph" and "Thinking Out Loud." Okay, even if you don't listen to music you could still recognize him as the ginger British kid.

2011 was the year "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2" came out, and being as obsessed with Harry Potter as I am, I was on Twitter reading tweets about the movie, going through some PTSD that it was over. But anyway, I stumbled upon a video with Rupert Grint in it (Ron Weasley), "Lego House." So obviously I watched it, not knowing that the video would make a huge impact on my life.


This was the first time I saw one of Ed's music videos and I was instantly hooked. This video led me to watching literally everyYouTube video that Ed Sheeran is in.

So here are a few reasons why I love him:

1. He's a huge celebrity, but he does not care about what people think of him. He is true to himself and never lets us forget that. He reminds us that it's not what people look like that's important. He was named worst dressed by GQ and he didn't mind,he still has one of the best voices in the game right now.


2. His lyrics never cease to amaze me. His songs and lyircs range from sweet love songs like "Thinking Out Loud" to hip-hop vibes like "Sing" to spitting some sick lyrics like he does in "Take It Back." Basically what I'm saying is that he can sing the alphabet and it would be beautiful.


3. Despite his fame, he's just a person like us, which he shows us time and time again.

4. OK, let's be honest, his voice is majestic. Here is a video displaying his beautiful range


5. His concerts are amazing. I got the pleasure of seeing him live this past summer in Philadelphia. There was a point in the concert where his guitar string broke and he did not let that stop the show in any way. He took off the guitar, and continued to "Sing" (no pun intended there).

6. Speaking of his concerts, it is only him on stage up there. He does not have any back up singers or band. It's just him, his guitar, and a loop pedal.


7. Ed overcame a stuttering problem he had when he was a child. However, he did not let that let him stop chasing after his dream. This shows how incredibly motivated he was to pursue his passion of singing no matter how many setbacks he has had.

8. Also, have you heard any of his mashups? He combines 50 Cent's"In Da Club" Iggy's "Fancy" with his song "You need me, I don't need you." He combines Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" and Bill Withers "Ain't No Sunshine" with his "Take It Back." He combines.. okay you get the picture. He combines songs that normally wouldn't be combines yet he does it perfectly. This is one of my personal favs.


9. Oh yeah, tbt to that time he played little orphan Annie on Jimmy Kimmel Live. What celebrity would wear a dress on live television? Ed Sheeran that's who.


10. Finally, who wouldn't love this face?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
