Will Miranda Get An EGOT?
E! Online

An EGOT is when someone wins an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony award and is a title held by only 12 performers.

Lin-Manuel Miranda was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song last Tuesday. This nomination is his first Oscar nomination and puts him in line for this rare feat. Miranda would be the youngest person to earn this title at 37 years old.

Winning the Oscar might prove to be a challenge though because ‘How Far I’ll Go’ is nominated alongside two songs from La La Land. ‘City of Stars’ beat out Miranda’s song from Moana at the Golden Globes earlier this month.

Audrey Hepburn, Rita Moreno, Whoopi Goldberg, and Richard Rodgers are among the dozen who have an EGOT. Miranda would join an even small group of people, who have also won a Pulitzer prize. Only Richard Rodgers and Marvin Hamlisch have received all five awards.

Miranda has won a Grammy for the cast recordings of both “In The Heights” and “Hamilton.” He has won three Tony awards himself and his musicals have won many more. Lastly, his work on the music and lyrics for the 2013 Tony awards gave him an Emmy.

Miranda is currently living in London to help open Hamilton at Victoria Palace Theatre later this year. He is also set to star in the Mary Poppins sequel and produce songs for other films.

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.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
