Jess Glynne: Will You Be My Valentine?

This is a bad idea.

Jess Glynne: Will You Be My Valentine?
Instagram

Today is a very special day, friends. Today marks the day that I throw caution to the wind and decide to fangirl so hard on the Internet and probably make a fool of myself. In the name of Valentine's Day, this hopeless romantic would like to ask Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Jess Glynne to be her valentine.

For much of 2014, it seemed like you couldn't listen to the radio for more than 10 minutes without hearing the unbelievably catchy "Rather Be" by British house group Clean Bandit featuring the deep and soulful voice of someone by the name of Jess Glynne.

The song became a Grammy-winning smash, and I couldn't shake that amazing voice. Equipped with the full power of the Internet, I embarked on a journey (OK, so it probably took like 30 seconds) to find the glorious creature attached to this amazing voice. Then, there she was…

Let's pause the story for second, shall we? I've never really had a "type" ("I ain't got no type, I like what I like"), but I've always thought my absolute dream girl would have/be five things: blue eyes, red hair, British, taller than me, and awesome personality. Jess: perfect blue eyes, redhead, British (the best accent), 5' 10" (according to the Internet, 2.5" taller than me), and from what I can tell, wicked awesome personality. OK, now back to the story.

So here I am, looking at this gorgeous woman and I just think to myself:

She's perfect!

How have I gone all this time without this person and her incredible music?

Fast forward to early 2016, I have Jess' album on nearly constant repeat and I love it more and more everytime I listen to it. I was even lucky enough to go see Jess in concert when she came to Boston.


Betty gets me.

Just when I think she can't get more dreamy, she straightens her hair and looks like the human version of Jessica Rabbit!

C'mon!

Hold up, Audra -- how could you have anything in common with this beautiful and incredibly talented pop sensation? Well, let's examine the facts. We both love music, especially British music. Plus, we both think Idris Elba needs to be the next James Bond and/or the next Doctor Who. We both love to swear, love concerts, and love the city of London. That's enough for now, but seriously, we could probably talk about music for hours.

Speaking of music, go buy Jess Glynne's debut album "I Cry When I Laugh."

You won't regret it, I promise. Whether you're single, heartbroken, or in a great relationship this Valentine's Day, you need this in your life. And check out her music videos too, like this one where she wears not one but two suits and looks seriously badass.


OK, I'm done.

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

May I take this opportunity to formally ask... Jess Glynne, will you be my valentine?

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
