15 Reasons Why Beyoncé Should Play Angelica Schuyler

The incredible musical Hamilton (which I was fortunate enough to see over the summer) has done phenomenally well since it opened, and it still sells out every performance! There were people who saw the same performance we did who stood in the cancellation line for 25 hours for tickets. We bought ours eight months in advance before the scramble for tickets went completely berserk.

Hamilton is revolutionary and life-changing to see. The First Lady said, "It was simply, as I tell everybody, the best piece of art in any form that I have ever seen in my life." The composer and lyricist (and original Hamilton on Broadway), Lin-Manuel Miranda, has been compared to Shakespeare.

Even without the original principal cast still present, it is still extremely difficult to get tickets. Miranda has petitioned legislators to regulate ticket bots more so that actual audience members can get their hands on the tickets at face value prices rather than sky-high resale prices. Some of the tickets for Miranda's last performance were being resold for about $20 thousand.

However, in five years or so, Hamilton may need a little boost in sales when the cancellation line no longer wraps around the block, especially with regional performances and tours beginning. Less people will make the pilgrimage to New York to see the show. If this is ever the case, I propose that Beyoncé is brought into the cast as Angelica Schuyler. Of course, Renée Elise Goldsberry and Mandy Gonzalez are stellar performers and powerful women, but I think we would all love to see Queen Bey perform "Satisfied."

Here are 15 moments when Beyoncé showed us Angelica Schuyler:

1. "Werk!"

"Who run the world? Girls!"

2. "You want a revolution? I want a revelation! So listen to my declaration..."

"Okay ladies, now let's get in formation!"

3. "So this is what it feels like to match wits with someone at your level? What the hell is the catch?"

"I just wanna be the girl you like."

4. "And I realized three fundamental truths at the exact same time."

"My daddy warned me about men like you..."

5. "I'm just saying, if you really loved me, you would share him."

"I'm just jealous. I'm just human. Don't judge me."

6. "I will never be satisfied; he will never be satisfied."

"When you lose the one you wanted..."

7. "I am sailing off to London. I am accompanied by someone who always pays."

"Got diamonds on my neck. Got diamonds on my records."

8. "My Alexander... Don't forget to write."

"And I'm always gonna be the best thing you never had."

9. "Your favorite older sister, Angelica, reminds you, there's someone in your corner all the way across the sea."

"You know I give you life."

10. "It's good to see your face."

"Now everybody ask me why I'm smiling out from ear to ear."

11. "Screw your courage to the sticking place."

"Won't let my freedom rot in hell."

12. "I'm not here for you."

"Try not to hurt yourself."

13. "Put what we had aside. I'm standing by her side."

"You better call Becky with the good hair."

14. "You will never be satisfied. God, I hope you're satisfied."

"Ashes to ashes. Dust to side chicks."

15. "There are moments that the words don't reach. There is suffering too terrible to name."

"Every promise don't work out that way."

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.
