" Hamilton: An American Musical" has been taking over the internet, and the world, as of late, but it totally deserves all the hype. Hamilton just scored a record-breaking 16 Tony nominations, surpassing the 15 previously held by The Producers and Billy Elliot. The hip-hop moves, insane raps and amazing acting make it worth every penny spent on high-priced tickets. Most people are willing to sell a piece of their soul in exchange for Hamilton tickets, and we can totally understand why. It doesn't matter if you see the original, Chicago or New York cast, this musical is unprecedented and deserves every one of its viral mentions.

1. The songs are ridiculously well written and catchy.

2. The show was created by (and previously starred) Tony and Grammy winner Lin Manuel Miranda.

3. You learn everything you need to know about the American Revolution- it’s historically accurate!

4. The hip hop moves are to die for.

5. It’ll make you cry from all the feels.

6. It features a diverse cast.

7. Did somebody say feminism?

8. Lin Manuel holds raffles for free Hamilton tickets because they’re so hard to come by.

9. It’ll make you more interested in our country’s history.

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.

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.
