25 Ways To Describe Your Grades To Your Parents Through 'Hamilton' Lyrics
NY Times

Would you want to be in the room where it happens? Next time your report card comes out, why don't you use lyrics from the Broadway show to either lighten the mood for your parents or to express your incredible knowledge.

What to say when you got bad grades:

1.“I’m helpless.” — "Helpless"

I don't know how to do school anymore.


2. “You will never be satisfied.” — "Satisfied"

3. "Incoming!" — "Right Hand Man"

Warning: this semester was rough.

4. "My teacher 'is insane man.'" — "Alexander Hamilton"

5. "There's a million things I haven't done. Just you wait." — "Alexander Hamilton"

I have so many homework assignments and projects left to hand in; those will raise my grades (fingers crossed).


6. "Me? I trusted him [my teacher] to give me a better grade." — "Alexander Hamilton"

We were buds, I thought he'd be able to give me at least a little leeway on assignments and absences.

7. “Da da da da daaaa…" — "You'll Be Back"

I'm just singing to avoid the conversation.

8. “I will fight the fight and win the war." — "You'll Be Back"

In order to get my teacher to raise the grade, this is what I must do...

9. "Daddy doesn't need to know." — "The Schuyler Sisters"

Come on Mom, don't tell Dad. I don't want to get in even more trouble.

10. "Well I’ll be damned.” — "The Election of 1800"

Well, I'm in shock because my parents predicted that I did badly on my report card, even though I did.

11.“I’m only 19.”— "Blow Us Away"

Give me a break, my brain is still growing.

12. “I promise that I’ll make y’all proud." — "My Shot"

Give me another chance.

13. “I am in dire need of assistance.” — "Right Hand Man"

A tutor maybe?

14. “Permission to state my case?” — "Right Hand Man"

I can explain...

15.“I am unconscious of intentional error.”

I do not know how this happened.

16. "Hate the sin, love the sinner."

You guys still love me, right?

17. "Goodbye." — "One Last Time"

Just avoid the situation completely.

Then there are the good grades:

18. "Raise a glass..." — "The Story of Tonight"

19. “I’m getting a scholarship to kings college.”— "My Shot"

Or any other college...

20. “I prob’ly shoultn’t brag, dag, I amaze and astonish.” — "Blow Us All Away"

Basically, I'm the best.


21. “Bright young man, yo who the f is this.” — "Non-Stop"

Hello, it's me, the genius.

22. “With every word, I drop knowledge!” — "My Shot"

The genius is still here.

23. "I am inimitable. I am an original." — "Wait For It"

No one is as smart as me. There is no one like me.

24. "And the world is gonna know [my] name!" — "Alexander Hamilton"


25. "Work!" -- "The Schuyler Sisters"

Just. Work.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
