21 "Hamilton" Signs Present At The Women's Marches
Laura Heywood

Our country was blessed to have "Hamilton: An American Musical" grace our presence and we all haven't been able to get over it since. With the new election, specifically with the outcome, many people clung to the musical "Hamilton." Something powerful happened this weekend. More women participated in the Women's March on Washington compared to Trump's Inauguration.

There were a large amount of people that crowded Washington, D.C., but many people around the nation (and world) participated in marches located in several cities. So many people created signs to carry at the marches. I was overwhelmed to see how many "Hamilton" signs that were present at marches around the nation. There were some that completely blew me away.

We are overwhelmed. I am amazed by the amount of people that were present at the Women's Marches all around the world. When asking for these pictures from people, an overwhelming number of them told me their personal experience, including the amount of people that were present. I promise it was a rather large amount of people ranging from 2,000 to 500,000. I can't help but smile knowing how proud Lin-Manuel Miranda must be. He can't take credit for the Women's March of course. He for sure can take credit for "Hamilton". He created something so much bigger than himself. He helped people understand history. History is still happening.

The nation needs love, support, respect, and comfort in a time where many people don't know how to react to the situation. Choosing to go to the marches was a brilliant idea and I can't express the respect I have for every single person that went and didn't create any act of violence. If you haven't listened to "Hamilton" and would love a crash course in great American history, this is your shot. Remember. We are young, scrappy, and hungry. We can't throw away this shot.

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.
