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.

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.
