Every College Experience, As Told By 'Hamilton'

Hamilton has taken the world by storm. As one of the best musicals in the history of, well....ever, it is full of moments every college student will relate to.

How you walk when you have two minutes to make it to your class all the way across campus:


When your professor is lecturing too fast for you to take notes:

"Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead"


When you and the squad get paired for a group assignment:

"Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now."


"I'll extend the deadline for this assignment."


When all of your homework is due tomorrow, but you're still procrastinating:


When you get your final grades:

"I hope that you burn."


When it's Thursday and you have class tomorrow, but the bar is playing your jam...

"Head first, into the abyss."


...How you feel Friday morning:


How every freshman feels:


When the teacher says you can't pass the class without reading the textbook:

"Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on "


Syllabus Week:


"You will have homework due every day for this class."

"Takes, and he takes, and he takes."


When it's 11:50 and your essay is due at 11:59:

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


Finals week:


Your professor when no one in the class remembers the homework, even though it was on the syllabus:


When your professor gives extra credit for showing up:


When you read your own paper and realize you're definitely going to get an F:

"I'm searching and scanning for answers in every line."


When the semester in finally over and you can go back to doing nothing:

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads.
