5 Best Songs On The Hamilton Mixtape

Hamilton. The hit musical that won 11 Tonys in one night, the hit musical that's going to be sold out for the rest of your life, the game-changing Broadway musical that everyone raves about. On December second, the mixtape was officially released, and on December 23rd the mixtape came out on YouTube for us to appreciate. After obsessively listening to them for days on end, I have chosen my top five songs.


1. Satisfied

Wow. As always, Sia's powerful voice raises goosebumps in her incredible rendition of Satisfied. Watch out, Angelica Schuyler.


2. Wrote My Way Out

If you take Hurricane, but applied it in a broader context, you have Wrote My Way Out. Miranda's emotions are clear, beautiful and powerful in this wonderful, relatable song.


3. An Open Letter (ft. Shockwave)

Okay, I'll admit The Adams Administration is one of my absolute favorite songs in the musical, and An Open Letter is a glorious continuation of it. There's more of Hamilton's famous sharp tongue and some serious shade thrown at President John Adams. What's not to like?


4. Valley Forge (Demo)

AAHH. This is a much more serious rendition of Stay Alive, and it really captures the bleakness of the Revolutionary War. Our victory was almost completely unexpected, and Valley Forge captures our desperation in a more emotional way than Stay Alive.


5. Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)

The iconic line "Immigrants, we get the job done" has spawned hundred of gifs all across the internet. Being the child of immigrants, this song hits close to home. Immigration was an issue for our founding fathers, and it's an issue today.


The mixtape is phenomenal, and you should go listen to the whole thing if you haven't already!

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
