12 Things That Happen When You're Obsessed With Hamilton But Have Never Seen The Musical

Through each loop I create on my Spotify playlist I hark my beckoning lust to the Schuyler sisters. This unrequited love which remains unfair by means of isolation is nothing but cruel and unfair, I think, sobbing the words to "Burn" on my bedroom floor without missing a beat. My spam folder has become a haven for Prizeo denials and Tobi discounts. The Pulizter made it clear that nothing this significant, especially within the theatre community, has graced your generation since the inspired Wicked. These things can happen when you're obsessed with a musical you've never seen before.

1. You watch everything with the words "Lin-Manuel Miranda" in the title.

"Lin-Manuel Miranda helps orphaned baby birds by spitting pre-chewed food into their beaks", and I'd watch it for an hour on repeat, probably.

2. You've suddenly become interested in our forefathers, and not to mention your newly acquitted history buff status.

3. You assume everyone else knows what Hamilton is and its enormous prestige.

And cannot be more shocked when some nobody has never heard of it.

4. You become passively enraged when a Facebook rando has seen the show and you haven't.


5. Spending an embarrassing amount of money trying to win tickets online.

(Also totally check out Prizeo.com and donate to Lin's Hamilton charity fund!)

6. Constantly checking if the prices have gone down.

7. You have debated sneaking into the venue.

8. When the 15 minute clips on Youtube are the only visuals into greatness, and they just aren't enough.

9. Accidentally rapping about Alexander Hamilton out loud in public.

10. Accidentally singing the entire soundtrack out loud in public.

11. Buying merch online to lie to yourself and others about the fact.

12. Feeling a mount of sadness because you will literally never see Lin-Manuel Miranda as Alexander Hamilton.

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.
