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
