13 Iconic Lyrics From 'Hamilton'

I summarized the best I could, I promise.

Hamilton

I think we can all agree that Michelle Obama's quote about Hamilton: “It was simply, as I tell everybody, the best piece of art in any form that I have ever seen in my life" is absolutely true. I absolutely love this musical, even though I've only listened to the album (because I'm way too poor to fly myself to NYC to see it). I've made a list of what I think are some of the best lyrics from Hamilton.

1. Aaron Burr, Sir

"He looked at me like I was stupid, I'm not stupid."

Honestly, same, though.

2. Farmer Refuted

"Don't modulate the key then not debate with me."

Eheheh. Music theory humor.

3. You'll Be Back

"I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love."

King George III is so relatable.

4. Right Hand Man

"Burr?"

"Sir?"

"Close the door on your way out."

get FUCKED, Burr.

5. Helpless

"If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it."

Well, damn, son. If that ain't smooth as fuck.

6. The Story of Tonight Reprise

"Oh, shit..."

My entire life's monologue is just this.

7. Wait For It

"I am the one thing in life I can control. I am inimitable, I am an original"

Ugh, yes. Yes yes yes. I absolutely love this song.

8. Yorktown

"Immigrants: we get the job done."

Roll credits.

9. What Comes Next?

"Awesome. Wow."

Once again, King George III is all of us.

10. Cabinet Battle #1

"'We plant seeds in the South, we create.'
Yeah, keep ranting, we know who’s really doing the planting."

get FUCKED, Jefferson.

11. Blow Us All Away

"Everything is legal in New Jersey...."

New Jersey jokes will never not be funny.

12. The Election of 1800

"I have never agreed with Jefferson once

We have fought on like seventy-five different fronts

But when all is said and all is done—

Jefferson has beliefs. Burr has none."

get FUCKED, Burr pt 2.

13. Who Lives, Who Dies, Who Tells Your Story

"The Lord, in his kindness,

He gives me what you always wanted

He gives me more time"

*starts sobbing*

Originally I had a ton of lyrics, but since it amounted to basically the entire musical, I had to cut some out. Let records show, though, that this musical is incredibly beautiful and kills me every time I listen to it.

Hope everyone has a happy holidays, and if you haven't listened to Hamilton yet, what are you waiting for?

14 Examples Of Twenty-Somethings #Adulting

#Adulting is hard.

University of Minnesota Twin Cities

Huffington Post

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

8 Things That Anyone Who Went To A Small School Knows

Sometimes bigger isn't always better.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

12 Most Annoying Things About Working In Sales

No, I can't help you.

Oakland University

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

4. Having the same conversations over and over again! To be honest I really don't even want to talk to you right now, or have this fake ass smile on my face!

5. Always having to have a smile on your face. I promise I'm not as happy as I may look!

6. Customers not understanding that sometimes, mistakes happen. I am a human being, we all mess up sometimes!

7. Having the boss from hell, it's their way or the highway! Even though I did my job correctly and efficiently, if I don't do it the exact way you do, I'm a piece of shit.

"'We plant seeds in the South, we create.'
Yeah, keep ranting, we know who’s really doing the planting."
