5 Best Songs On The Hamilton Mixtape

Hamilton. The hit musical that won 11 Tonys in one night, the hit musical that's going to be sold out for the rest of your life, the game-changing Broadway musical that everyone raves about. On December second, the mixtape was officially released, and on December 23rd the mixtape came out on YouTube for us to appreciate. After obsessively listening to them for days on end, I have chosen my top five songs.


1. Satisfied

Wow. As always, Sia's powerful voice raises goosebumps in her incredible rendition of Satisfied. Watch out, Angelica Schuyler.


2. Wrote My Way Out

If you take Hurricane, but applied it in a broader context, you have Wrote My Way Out. Miranda's emotions are clear, beautiful and powerful in this wonderful, relatable song.


3. An Open Letter (ft. Shockwave)

Okay, I'll admit The Adams Administration is one of my absolute favorite songs in the musical, and An Open Letter is a glorious continuation of it. There's more of Hamilton's famous sharp tongue and some serious shade thrown at President John Adams. What's not to like?


4. Valley Forge (Demo)

AAHH. This is a much more serious rendition of Stay Alive, and it really captures the bleakness of the Revolutionary War. Our victory was almost completely unexpected, and Valley Forge captures our desperation in a more emotional way than Stay Alive.


5. Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)

The iconic line "Immigrants, we get the job done" has spawned hundred of gifs all across the internet. Being the child of immigrants, this song hits close to home. Immigration was an issue for our founding fathers, and it's an issue today.


The mixtape is phenomenal, and you should go listen to the whole thing if you haven't already!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
