1. Hamilton


Hamilton is my number one because it is amazing and Lin Manuel Miranda is a god. ‘Nough said.
My Shot: This song is my number one because it is the first hamilton song I learned all the words to, so it will forever be my favorite.
Say No To This: A completely underrated song. How can you not love this song?
Yorktown: I live for this song for this reason, and this reason only " Hercules Mulligan, I need no introduction. When you knock me down I get the f**k back up again!”

2. Mamma Mia!


Mamma Mia! Is my second because I saw this ABBA-inspired musical 6 times in my 18 years of life before it left Broadway. This musical will always be in my heart.
Mamma Mia: ICONIC.
Our Last summer: this song forces you to reminisce about life
Dancing Queen: If this song doesn’t get you singing and dancing, you need help.

3. Dear Evan Hansen


Have yet to see this one live, but the music is amazing and the musical turns a dark and deep topic into something amazingly beautiful.
You Will Be Found: This song reminds me that I am not alone and it’s okay to not be okay.
Sincerely, Me: This song is a breath of fresh air, it gives us some comedic relief.
If I Could Tell Her: Iconic love song, never fails to make me smile.

4. Hairspray


Another musical that should still be on the big stage. Like Mamma Mia! I saw this musical numerous times. The story line and musical number made me want to get up and sing every time.
You Can’t Stop The Beat: This song takes every underestimated character and puts them in the spotlight for a minute.
Without Love: This song shows that girls, no matter their looks, can get the guy.
I Can Hear The Bells: This song is the song i think of when I get the butterflies.

5. Grease


Grease In my opinion had a good run. It was time to go but, Nonetheless I love the music.
Grease Lightning: No comment needed. It's super catchy.
Summer Nights: We all sing super high on the sandy parts… Just admit it.
We Go Together: Another one that makes you want to get up and dance.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
