Adele 7 days ofZOE MCDONALD [email protected]

Adele’s much-anticipated, record-breaking “25” came out Friday, Nov. 20, and the music world was wide-eyed and ready to get our hearts both broken and mended by Adele’s latest. For seven days, I listened to the album and forced others to as well. Here is a catalogue of how it happened:
