25 Times Hamilton Absolutely Nailed It
NY times

If you haven't listened to the music or gone to see it- you need to.

It's all over the news, social media, and is sweeping the nation and our playlists simultaneously. What is it? Hamilton: An American Musical. This musical is one of the most amazing catalysts in many ways: the catchy raps and contagious melodies not only get stuck in your head but they also teach you history. The interpretation on stage, while it does portray the life of Alexander Hamilton, applies to daily life and the future of ourselves and our nation. Some of it is just darn funny, and lots of it hits you straight in the feels. Either way, the impact that Hamilton has had is here to stay, and I couldn't be happier. Here are 25 times that the lines of Hamilton: An American Musical are super relatable.

Alright, here are a few of the funnier/sassier moments...

1. "Why do you write like you're running out of time?"

@ me.

2. "I AM NOT THROWING AWAY MY SHOT!"

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



4. "Don't be shocked when your history book mentions me!"



5. "Talk LESS, smile MORE."



6. "I'm a general! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

7. "Here's An Itemized List Of Thirty Years Of Disagreements."

...That moment when you know they are holding a grudge....

8. "Immigrants, we get the job done."



9. "Include women in the sequel!"



10. "Awesome. WOW."


...And now- for the stuff that really pulls at my heart strings...


11. "There's a million things I haven't done, but just you wait..."

12. "Raise a glass to freedom; something they can never take away, no matter what they tell you."

13. "Life doesn't discriminate between the sinners and the saints."

14. "We push away what we can never understand- We push away the unimaginable."

15. "Get your education. Don't forget from whence you came, and the world's gonna know your name."

16. "I wrote some notes at the beginning of a song someone will sing for me. America, you great unfinished symphony, you sent for me...You let me make a difference."

17. "I can't wait to see you again, it's only a matter of time."

18. "If you stand for nothing, what'll you fall for?"

19. "There is no more status quo...But the sun comes up and the world still spins."

20. “I will not equivocate on my opinion, I have always worn it on my sleeve.”
21. "I want to build something that's gonna outlive me!"

22. "Legacy. What is a legacy? It's planting seed in a garden you never get to see."

23. "Look around at how lucky we are to be alive right now!"

24. "Let me be a part of the narrative."

and most specially,

25.




Thank you, Hamilton: An American Musical. You've added 'skilled rapper" to my resume, helped me understand history a little better, made me laugh and cry, and been a huge source of encouragement and hope for me. No wonder this show earned a ton of #HAMILTONYS.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
