18 Stages Of Being Obsessed With "Hamilton"

Rolling Stone

' Hamilton' is amazing and everyone should be obsessed with it. Anyone who correctly is obsessed knows that the stages of being obsessed are as follows.

1. Hearing the hype and not believing it.

“What’s the big deal, it's just another musical about an old guy.”

2. Listen to the first few songs, jam a bit.

“OK, this is pretty catchy. I’d listen to it again.”

3. Listen all the way through.

"Wow -- this is really great.”

4. Get caught up in the story.

“I clearly didn’t pay attention in elementary school. Who are these people? OMG, what's going to happen?”

5. Cry like a baby during the last song.

“Eliza -- OMG, she loved him so much.”

6. Repeat for days.

“This is absolutely amazing -- oh my god.”

7. Try to get all your friends to listen.

“Isn't this amazing? Here, listen to this one next. How are you not obsessed with this? What do you mean it's not that great."

8. Scour internet for every picture and small clip of the characters.

Ham4Ham shows are the best thing to ever happen.

“I just want to see the costumes and the dancing! I want to see the masterpiece!"

9. Cry about your inability to go see it.

“I just want to see it, what do you mean its sold out?”

10. Stalk way too far back on Lin’s Twitter and Tumblr pages.

“These are pure gold, he's my favorite person alive wow.”

11. Realize you're the annoying friend that is trying to get everyone hooked on the music.

“Come on, guys, this is amazing! Don't throw away your shot."

12. Randomly start quoting and thus singing the lyrics anytime a few words remind you of the music.

"What are you doing?"

"I am not throwing away my shot."

13. Listen to the music on repeat, having decide if you'd rather shuffle or listen to it all the way through for the real feels.

Dance it out, too.

14. Find someone else who shares your obsession.

“OMG, isn;t it amazing I'm obsessed. Yes, let's have a singing party and just sing "Hamilton" together." Y

15. Share everything to do with Hamilton on their wall.

Shoutout to Brianna -- you the real MVP.

16. Declare your hate for anyone who has gotten to see the show.

“We can’t be friends, sorry.”

17. Follow every Hamilton related twitter account and spend all of your days obsessed with Hamilton.

Check out https://twitter.com/hamiltonssquad because she's absolutely amazing and her memes are the best.

18. Continue the cycle of obsession and love for ever and ever and ever.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

The holiday classics that shaped my life

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.
