25 Ways To Describe Your Grades To Your Parents Through 'Hamilton' Lyrics
NY Times

Would you want to be in the room where it happens? Next time your report card comes out, why don't you use lyrics from the Broadway show to either lighten the mood for your parents or to express your incredible knowledge.

What to say when you got bad grades:

1.“I’m helpless.” — "Helpless"

I don't know how to do school anymore.


2. “You will never be satisfied.” — "Satisfied"

3. "Incoming!" — "Right Hand Man"

Warning: this semester was rough.

4. "My teacher 'is insane man.'" — "Alexander Hamilton"

5. "There's a million things I haven't done. Just you wait." — "Alexander Hamilton"

I have so many homework assignments and projects left to hand in; those will raise my grades (fingers crossed).


6. "Me? I trusted him [my teacher] to give me a better grade." — "Alexander Hamilton"

We were buds, I thought he'd be able to give me at least a little leeway on assignments and absences.

7. “Da da da da daaaa…" — "You'll Be Back"

I'm just singing to avoid the conversation.

8. “I will fight the fight and win the war." — "You'll Be Back"

In order to get my teacher to raise the grade, this is what I must do...

9. "Daddy doesn't need to know." — "The Schuyler Sisters"

Come on Mom, don't tell Dad. I don't want to get in even more trouble.

10. "Well I’ll be damned.” — "The Election of 1800"

Well, I'm in shock because my parents predicted that I did badly on my report card, even though I did.

11.“I’m only 19.”— "Blow Us Away"

Give me a break, my brain is still growing.

12. “I promise that I’ll make y’all proud." — "My Shot"

Give me another chance.

13. “I am in dire need of assistance.” — "Right Hand Man"

A tutor maybe?

14. “Permission to state my case?” — "Right Hand Man"

I can explain...

15.“I am unconscious of intentional error.”

I do not know how this happened.

16. "Hate the sin, love the sinner."

You guys still love me, right?

17. "Goodbye." — "One Last Time"

Just avoid the situation completely.

Then there are the good grades:

18. "Raise a glass..." — "The Story of Tonight"

19. “I’m getting a scholarship to kings college.”— "My Shot"

Or any other college...

20. “I prob’ly shoultn’t brag, dag, I amaze and astonish.” — "Blow Us All Away"

Basically, I'm the best.


21. “Bright young man, yo who the f is this.” — "Non-Stop"

Hello, it's me, the genius.

22. “With every word, I drop knowledge!” — "My Shot"

The genius is still here.

23. "I am inimitable. I am an original." — "Wait For It"

No one is as smart as me. There is no one like me.

24. "And the world is gonna know [my] name!" — "Alexander Hamilton"


25. "Work!" -- "The Schuyler Sisters"

Just. Work.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
