10 Hamilton Songs To Get Your Heart Pumping At The Gym

We've all been there. You get to the gym, but for some reason you don't have the motivation or energy to push yourself to really workout. However, there is a way out of this rut. I'll let you in on a little secret –– Hamilton the musical is the best pump up songs. Not only are many of the songs set to a powerful beat, but they are also so intricate that many times I find myself listening so hard to the words that I forget that my body is physically exhausting. Here are my top 10 pump-up song choices for those who need an extra kick in the gym.

1. "Aaron Burr, Sir"

The beat slowly progresses in this number so I would definitely suggest this as a starting point. It's empowering and gives you insight into the supporting characters which draws your attention away from your feet on the treadmill.

2. "My Shot"

First off, "I think your pants look hot." Second, this song is all upbeat and means business. If you're going on a run and it's not on your playlist you're doing life wrong.

3. "Right Hand Man"

There's motivation and then theres George Washington telling you to preserver. That's all I'm saying.

4. "Cabinet Battle #1"

"Turn around. Bend over. I'll show you were my shoe fits!"

5. "Satisfied"

Lin Manuel Miranda knows how to write badass power ballads for women and this is one of them.

6. "Ten Duel Commandments"

Just like a duel, this song will get your heart rate up.

7. "Non Stop"

If Hamilton can write non-stop, you can do another rep.

8. "Cabinet Battle #2"

"You must be outta your goddamn mind" if you work out without this song in your life.

9. "Washington on Your Side"

This one is more of a cool down, but when it picks up, you won't be able to stop moving.

10. "Blow us All Away"

You just blew everyone in the gym away with that effortful workout. Also, make sure to skip the next couple of songs if you don't want to start bawling in the gym. Seriously, take it from someone who has made this mistake. "Stay Alive Reprise" and "Quiet Uptown" will break your heart.

These are just some examples of the incredible genius that is "Hamilton." Lin Manuel Miranda, we are not worthy.

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.
