10 Reasons To Love Lin-Manuel Miranda
Wikipedia

Most people found out about the genius of Lin-Manuel Miranda with the emergence of Hamilton, a musical, based on the life of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton. I know, it sounds boring, but this show has changed lives all over the world. But, Hamilton was not his first rodeo. He is well versed in all things theatre with another musical of his, In the Heights, winning four Tony Awards in 2008, including the one for Best Musical. When it comes to Hamilton, Lin wrote the book, Music and Lyrics, and plays the title character. The show broke records at this year's Tony Award nominations with 16 total. Since its emergence onto the Broadway stage, his unique personality and passion for art and justice have drawn us all to him.

Here are some of the reasons why:

1. His good morning tweets.

2. He shares all his son's adorable moments with us.

3. He humors all our obsessions and ideals about him.

4. He actually cares about the future- of education, art, and people he doesn't even know.


5. His relationship with Jonathan Groff.

6. While he understands our obsessions, he still cares enough about the art to put his foot down about his work.

7. His passion to give people of color, or any other minority, their fair share of once in a lifetime work.


8. The looks on his face when he watches the people he loves perform.

9. His good night tweets.

10. He takes time to fight for whats right and does it well enough to get the attention of the President.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
