" Hamilton: An American Musical" has been taking over the internet, and the world, as of late, but it totally deserves all the hype. Hamilton just scored a record-breaking 16 Tony nominations, surpassing the 15 previously held by The Producers and Billy Elliot. The hip-hop moves, insane raps and amazing acting make it worth every penny spent on high-priced tickets. Most people are willing to sell a piece of their soul in exchange for Hamilton tickets, and we can totally understand why. It doesn't matter if you see the original, Chicago or New York cast, this musical is unprecedented and deserves every one of its viral mentions.

1. The songs are ridiculously well written and catchy.

2. The show was created by (and previously starred) Tony and Grammy winner Lin Manuel Miranda.

3. You learn everything you need to know about the American Revolution- it’s historically accurate!

4. The hip hop moves are to die for.

5. It’ll make you cry from all the feels.

6. It features a diverse cast.

7. Did somebody say feminism?

8. Lin Manuel holds raffles for free Hamilton tickets because they’re so hard to come by.

9. It’ll make you more interested in our country’s history.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with.
