The Broadway show "Hamilton" has been talked about non-stop recently, and its success is very well-deserved. If you have seen the musical or have listened to the cast recording, you know that the insults the characters would make Alexander Hamilton himself proud. While I am not promoting the use of these insults at other humans, I have compiled a list of some of the best insults from the musical "Hamilton."

1. “My dog speaks more eloquently than thee.”

During “Farmer Refuted,” Hamilton burns Samuel Seabury, a loyalist, with this line.

2. “Honestly, you shouldn’t even talk.”

Hamilton also fires this insult at Seabury in “Farmer Refuted,” and I think everyone can relate to a situation where they wanted to tell someone this.

3. “Obnoxious, arrogant, loudmouth bother.”

In “A Winter’s Ball,” I don’t think Aaron Burr could possibly fit anymore adjectives in this phrase describing Alexander Hamilton.

4. “Awesome. Wow.”

Dripping with sarcasm, King George’s line in “What Comes Next?” sounds like anyone would sound while faking happiness for someone.

5. “Thomas. That was a real nice declaration. Welcome to the present. We’re running a real nation.”

Hamilton serves Thomas Jefferson a reality check in “Cabinet Battle #1,” while still making a Thomas Jefferson/Declaration of Independence joke.

6. “And another thing, Mr. Age of Enlightenment.”

Also in “Cabinet Battle #1,” Hamilton also throws this jab at Thomas Jefferson.

7. “Damn, you’re in worst shape than the national debt is in.”

This is my favorite line that Hamilton insults Jefferson with during “Cabinet Battle #1,” and perhaps my favorite insult in the whole show.

8. “Hey, turn around, bend over, I’ll show you where my shoe fits.”

Another great insult in "Cabinet Battle #1."

9. “I hope that you burn.”

Eliza's line in "Burn" embodies how most feel after getting his/her heart broken.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
