Here's A Ranking Of All Of The “Hamilton” Characters

https://jooinn.com/img/startdownload

16. George Eacker

He really does NOT know how to count to 10.

15. James Reynolds

Extortion is not a good look on ANYONE.

14. James Madison

James Madison wasn't an awful character, but he was sick for all of Act 2.

13. Maria Reynolds

Cheating on someone isn't cool, but cheating on someone for blackmail purposes is really not cool.

12. King George III

King George III is insane and semi-psychotic, but he does have some dope songs and even doper dance moves.

11. Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson is a morally-ambiguous character, but he does have some pretty solid political beliefs.

10. Peggy Schuyler

As iconic as Peggy is (#ANDPEGGY), she doesn't really have any character traits besides being left behind by her sisters.

9. Phillip Hamilton

Phillip Hamilton was a little impulsive, and that was his downfall. He looked pretty cute rapping, though.

8. John Laurens

John Laurens was kind of boring as a character, but Anthony Ramos has a beautiful voice and my sister would kill me if I ranked him any lower.

7. George Washington

I. love. George. Washington. so. freaking. much. Christopher Jackson could have made Washington one-dimensional, but he created a character that was deep and soulful.

6. Marquis de Lafayette

Lafayette was a much needed source of comic relief, and David Diggs set a record for most words per second during Guns and Ships!

5. Hercules Mulligan

Hercules Mulligan is such an underrated character and was the best flower girl anyone could ask for.

4. Aaron Burr

Leslie Odom Jr. could have portrayed Burr as the villain of the show, but he didn't. We could slowly see Burr unravel, and I know I somehow felt bad for him by the end of the show.

3. Alexander Hamilton

Alexander Hamilton made some questionable choices, but Lin Manuel-Miranda made Hamilton so endearing that you couldn't help but love him by the end of the show. We can see Hamilton's reasoning behind all of his questionable decisions, which makes him a more human character.

2. Angelica Schuyler

Angelica Schuyler was the character that stuck out to me when I first listened to Hamilton. She is strong and independent and knows exactly what she wants.

1. Elizabeth "Eliza" Schuyler-Hamilton

I don't think I could have chosen any other character to rank as #1. Eliza shows a tremendous amount of grace and kindness over the show. She forgives Hamilton after his affair and the death of their son, and she works to continue their family's legacy for fifty years after her husband died. We could all stand to be more like Eliza.

Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance. So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

The holiday season is full of stress, debt, and forced conversation. While we rush through the month of December, it's important to take a step back and enjoy the moments before they're gone. Most families love to watch Christmas movies, but these beloved films provide more than entertainment. Here are 10 life lessons that I've learned from the holiday classics we watch every year.

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.

1."But what would happen if we all tried to be like Santa and learned to give as only he can give: of ourselves, our talents, our love and our hearts? Maybe we could all learn Santa's beautiful lesson and maybe there would finally be peace on Earth and good will toward men."

"Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose."

"Remember, no man is a failure who has friends."

"Life is made up of meetings and partings. That is the way of it."

"If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find a that love actually is all around."

"Sometimes things look good on paper, but lose their luster when you see how it affects real folks. I guess a healthy bottom line doesn't mean much if to get it, you have to hurt the ones you depend on."

"'Maybe Christmas,' he thought, 'doesn't come from a store. Maybe Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.'"

"Faith is believing when common sense tells you not to."

"There's room for everyone on the nice list."

Hopefully they will make you laugh.

12. If your shirt isn't tucked into your pants, are your pants tucked into your shirt?

13. Why is it called "quick sand" if you sink slowly in it?

14. If I try to fail, but succeed, which one did I do?
