8 Reasons to Love Hamilton
Hamilton

Hamilton: An American Musial is sweeping the nation right now. People can't go places with out hearing about it, Hamilton is every where. someone goes, for good reason though. Here is my reasons why I think you should start liking Hamilton.

1) Lin Manuel Miranda

He created this wonderful musical and is the person we need to thank for all the wonderfulness that is Hamilton. This Man took seven years to write a rap musical about Alexander Hamilton and I am so glad he did. The whole reason Hamilton exist is because of this man.

2) There is a break up song to America

King George sings a break up song to the colonies at the time and it is amazing. What other break up song has the lines "I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love!" If that isn't a great line in a break up song to America i don't know what is.

3) Hercules Mulligan

Enough said.

4) And Peggy

This amazing line from the show is iconic and should be enough reason for people to love this show. There has been some amazing jokes

5) It is a musical filled with hip hop music.

It is so new and different, most musicals are just singing and dancing. This is rapping and dancing, every song is poetry

6) The cast is so diverse

It is so amazing, learning about history which is mostly white guys with such a diverse cast.

7) Guns And Ships

Only the fastest rap in the whole show and one of the best ones in the show. Lafayette needs more raps like that.

8) It brought people to Broadway who did not like Broadway before.

One of the best things about Hamilton is that it brought all different types of people it brings to Broadway. No longer is Broadway just for the traditional theater goer it's for everyone and that is probably one of the best things.

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.
