Sixteen Moments That Everyone Experienced During The Hurricane Weekend, As Told By Hamilton

It's no surprise that Hurricane Matthew threw all of us for a loop this past weekend. If you're anything like me, then you tried to power through the storms and make the best of it. I am grateful to say that my friends, my family, and I all made it through the hurricane safely. I hope the same goes for everyone out there that is reading this article. Without further ado, here's a little commentary on the events of this past weekend as told by our friends from the Broadway musical Hamilton.

1.) The moment when the news is broken to you that a storm's a comin'... And you think you're ready.

2.) The moment when you learn that class is cancelled...


3.) When your friends are like, "Yo, you know you ain't actually ready."


4.) So you start to formulate your survival plan...


5.) So naturally things get a little crazy and you resort to buying ALL of the snacks...

6.) The moment when you mentally prepare yourself for the storm to hit...


7.) Then come the moment when you and your hurricane buddies lock the doors and take your places…

8.) You begin to the wait for the storm to hit...

9.) Then, of course, there's the moment when the pre-storm drinking begins...

10.) Then the storm finally hits and everything seems chaotic...

11.) So you try and act like the wind isn't scaring you, but you're actually terrified.


12.) The moment when your lights flickers and so you stare at your light switch and say...

13.) But then you realize that you've lost power and so you resort to lighting candles and saying things like this...

14.) Then comes the moment of victory when the storm is finally over...

15.) The moment when it hits you that you live in a coastal state and that hurricanes are a common occurrence...

16.) But you push that thought aside and FINALLY celebrate the passing of the hurricane.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
