The Struggles of Every "Hamilton" Fan Who Has Never Actually Seen "Hamilton"

I will never be satisfied.

The Struggles of Every "Hamilton" Fan Who Has Never Actually Seen "Hamilton"

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past six months, you are probably aware that "Hamilton" has quickly become one of the most sought-after Broadway tickets of all time. You might also know that the tickets are nearly impossible to get your hands on, and if you are lucky enough to find an open date, the tickets will likely cost you your first year's worth of tuition. However, you don't have to see the show live to appreciate the incredible masterpiece that is spearheaded by Broadway alum, Lin-Manuel Miranda. If you're like me, the "Hamilton" soundtrack follows you to the gym, on car rides, and even to the pre-game where your friends beg you to shut it off because they just don't get it. To the "Hamilton" fan who has yet to actually see "Hamilton", the struggle is very real and probably looks a lot like the following:

When you get your paycheck and think of all the money you are prepared to spend on Hamilton tix

When you check ticket prices AGAIN just to find that they still haven't gone down, and you will literally never see this show

When you make a Hamilton reference and someone actually gets it

When you're going hard on "Guns and Ships" and someone in the general vicinity asks if you're having a seizure

When you roll up to the theater, fully confident in your abilities to win the lottery

When you lose the lottery... again

When you and your best friend agree to try again next week and every week for the rest of your life until you win

When "Helpless" comes on at the club


Jk that never happens and you're bitter about it

When you listened to "Say No To This" for the first time

When your friend who has never listened to the soundtrack is acting like a total Peggy

When someone says 'ladies' but you can't help but scream LADIEEESS back at them

When another performance is recorded and posted online

When you hold on to all hope because you know that you are destined to see this show, and you are not throwing away your shot

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
