Top 5 Songs From The Hamilton Mixtape
Hypable

Lin-Manuel is, without a doubt, a genius of this century; the man who writes like he's running out of time. He took the brilliant story of one of America's Founding Fathers and turned it into a successful rap opera on Broadway. A large fanbase soon formed, and they couldn't get enough. A year later, Lin came out with an album that reached the top charts instantly. The Hamilton Mixtape. Filled with remixes and covers of the original soundtrack, it was an instant hit. Here are the top five songs from this brilliant album.

1. Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)

"Immigrants, we get the job done."

This is one of the most popular lines in the whole musical, and Lin wrote an entire song based off of it. Sung by K'naan, Snow The Product, Riz MC & Residente, this song is about how the country that was originally built off of immigration is now against it, and how most work these days is performed by under-appreciated immigrants. Truly an eye opening song.

2. You'll Be Back

A cover of one of the most popular songs done by the hilarious Jimmy Fallon, whats not to love?

3. History Has It's Eyes On You

Without a doubt one of the most beautiful songs from the musical has been covered by John Legend. Bringing a new sound to the popular song, this is truly a song anyone will love.

4. Congratulations

This was a song originally cut from the Broadway show but was featured in their Off-Broadway version; it consists of what Angelica Schuyler said to Hamilton when she returned home after word spread of Hamilton's affair with Maria Reynolds. This song truly represents the love Angelica has for her sister.

5. Say Yes To This

This steamy song originally called "Say No To This" is the start of Hamilton's affair, and in this remix it's told from the perspective of the seductive mistress Maria Reynolds. This song represents the powers of a woman. "How can you say no to me?"


If you haven't listened to the mixtape or Hamilton itself, I strongly recommend it; it is unlike anything you will ever hear.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
