On July 3rd, Hamilton made its' way onto Disney+. Since Disney made the announcement that it would be added to Disney+, fans have been eagerly waiting for its' arrival. Hamilton: An American Musical opened on Broadway in 2015. The show quickly became a hit for its' unique musical composition and as a result of its' 16 Tony Award Nominations. As a result of this, ticket prices for the show began to soar and it became almost impossible to see the show. Luckily for fans, the show was taped in June 2016 with the original Broadway cast for later release; this is what you will find on Disney+ today. The addition of Hamilton on Disney+ is important as it brings the performing arts to the homes of individuals. Last week, I watched Hamilton for the first time myself. Prior to its' release on Disney+ I had not been fortunate enough to see it live, I had only briefly listened to the cast recording. As a first time viewer, these are a few thoughts that popped into my head while watching Hamilton.

1. Why couldn't our founding fathers actually look like this?

If you've watched Hamilton you know there are some swoon-worthy cast members featured throughout the show. Personally, I can't help but to love Jonathan Groff who plays King George. So I know the rest of the world shares the same thoughts and wonders why the founding fathers couldn't actually look like that.

2. Wait, this song is catchy. 

Since I had never listened to the cast recording all the way through, I was able to discover some new songs I enjoyed from the musical. I am sure many people felt the same way whether they had never listened to it before or just hadn't listened to it in a while. I will say my new favorite is "Wait for it" so definitely give that one a second listen.

3. Well, that was sad.

Hamilton is an action packed musical but it also is filled with it's sad moments. I don't want to detail the sad moments too much but there are a handful you could think of from the show.

4. *Starts singing along*

Since the songs are so catchy, it is easy to find yourself sing along with the musical.

5. It's time to rewatch again.

Now that I've watched the musical once, I am ready to sit down and watch it again.

Doe: A Deer, A Feminist Deer

As a deer, I thought I would have been more likely to be hit by a car than by a tall, angry woman with dyed-gray hair.

After an encounter I had this weekend, I got to thinking about how everyone polices women’s bodies and choices in the most subconscious way. I was standing with my friend who was in line at Cheesie’s at 2:30 a.m. (obviously living our best life) when the woman standing behind us elbowed me out of line. She really aggressively shoved me and interrupted my friend's order so she could say to my friend that my deer costume contributed to men infantilizing women. She also said something about how I should go back to Kansas, but, again, it was 2:30 a.m. at Cheesie’s and I was pretty much a deer in the headlights at this point (lol): shocked and frozen in place.

You change the very course of her life.

When You Give A Girl A Horse
Molly Joiner

When you give a girl a horse, you give her the responsibility of caring for something other than herself. You make her life bigger and more vibrant. You give her confidence in herself, and teach her the importance of hard work. You'll teach her to think for herself and make her own decisions. You'll give her independence.

Scarred

One of the darkest moments in my family's life.

Scarred
Huffington Post

I knew this day was coming when my mother’s decided to get spinal surgery. February 20, was the date her surgery was set. It was a normal day in school when I received the message of a lifetime. My oldest sibling telling me our mother’s surgery went wrong. Imagining what could possibly go wrong made my eyes water. Felt like I was the only person on my bus. Everything was silence and my mind was racing. There was never a positive thought in my head. Taking the last step off the bus and the first step onto the porch, everything was real.
