10 Things All True "Hamilton" Fans Do
Hamilton Broadway

If you're anything like me, you are a huge fan of the hit Broadway musical, "Hamilton". Ever since I heard the opening song when "Hamilton" creator Lin-Manuel Miranda performed it for President Obama in 2009, I've been hooked. In fact, I am listening to the "Hamilton" soundtrack right now! Yes, I am definitely singing along. Over time, I've realized that my obsession has spread into my everyday life and I know it isn't just me! So, I put together a list of 10 things I have noticed I do, all thanks to "Hamilton". If you see yourself in any of these, feel free to share this article and tell your followers something you do that may not be on this list! Okay, Hamilfans/Hamiltrash, let's do it!


1)

When you listen to "Take A Break", you scream "AND PEGGY" after Eliza and Angelica sing their names. Let's be honest, all of us are Peggy in real life.

2)

Thanks to YouTube, we can listen to any "Hamilton" songs whenever we want. Yet, the comment section of each song is absolute gold. I cried laughing when I was listening to "What'd I Miss", because one of the comments was "Jefferson: I can't believe we're free! His slaves: I'm sorry wat". Nothing is better than finding a comment that shows exactly what you think when you listen to a "Hamilton" song.

3)

You go through a whole tissue box when you listen to Act 2, because "One Last Time", Phillip's death, Alexander's death, and "Who Lives,Who Dies,Who Tells Your Story" happens. When I first bought the soundtrack, I just sat on my couch crying, tissue box in hand. IT'S JUST SO EMOTIONAL.

4)

When you listen to "Say No To This", you slam your head against a wall, because Alexander says Maria Reynolds looks helpless and THAT'S ELIZA'S THING COME ON ALEXANDER WHAT ARE YOU DOING DUDE I CAN'T.

5)

You follow every Tumblr/Twitter/Instagram page involved with Hamilton, including each cast members' social media. (If your mornings are gross, follow Lin's twitter @Lin_Manuel. He wishes you a good morning/night every day and it will make you feel special. Satisfaction guaranteed).

6)

You spend hours contemplating your life choices, after you realize that you spent 4 hours on Tumblr looking for Hamilton/Laurens fan-fiction.

7)

When anyone (and I mean anyone) asks you "What time is it", you reply with "SHOWTIME SHOWTIIIIIME" and continue rapping the entire end of "Aaron Burr,Sir".

8)

You took a LOT of time out of your day(s) to learn Lafayette's part of "Guns and Ships" (Bonus: When you finally got through the whole song without messing up, you cried for a few minutes and began writing your Tony Award acceptance speech).

9)

When someone asks you if you speak French, you say yes...even though you only know how to count to nine, thanks to "Take A Break" and "Stay Alive (Reprise)".

10)

You feel like you have a sense of community with your Hamilfan/Hamiltrash family. In all honesty, this is one of the best musicals of all time and it feels great to know that so many people can come together to appreciate this piece of art.


...And that's it! If you have anything to add to the list, please don't hesitate to leave a comment--I would love to read them all! As much as I would love to stay and make this list longer than all of Hamilton's "Federalist Papers" essays (HE WROTE THE OTHER 51), I have to go listen to the soundtrack for the billionth time. I can't wait to see you again. It's only a matter of time.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
