Top 5 Songs From The Hamilton Mixtape
Hypable

Lin-Manuel is, without a doubt, a genius of this century; the man who writes like he's running out of time. He took the brilliant story of one of America's Founding Fathers and turned it into a successful rap opera on Broadway. A large fanbase soon formed, and they couldn't get enough. A year later, Lin came out with an album that reached the top charts instantly. The Hamilton Mixtape. Filled with remixes and covers of the original soundtrack, it was an instant hit. Here are the top five songs from this brilliant album.

1. Immigrants (We Get The Job Done)

"Immigrants, we get the job done."

This is one of the most popular lines in the whole musical, and Lin wrote an entire song based off of it. Sung by K'naan, Snow The Product, Riz MC & Residente, this song is about how the country that was originally built off of immigration is now against it, and how most work these days is performed by under-appreciated immigrants. Truly an eye opening song.

2. You'll Be Back

A cover of one of the most popular songs done by the hilarious Jimmy Fallon, whats not to love?

3. History Has It's Eyes On You

Without a doubt one of the most beautiful songs from the musical has been covered by John Legend. Bringing a new sound to the popular song, this is truly a song anyone will love.

4. Congratulations

This was a song originally cut from the Broadway show but was featured in their Off-Broadway version; it consists of what Angelica Schuyler said to Hamilton when she returned home after word spread of Hamilton's affair with Maria Reynolds. This song truly represents the love Angelica has for her sister.

5. Say Yes To This

This steamy song originally called "Say No To This" is the start of Hamilton's affair, and in this remix it's told from the perspective of the seductive mistress Maria Reynolds. This song represents the powers of a woman. "How can you say no to me?"


If you haven't listened to the mixtape or Hamilton itself, I strongly recommend it; it is unlike anything you will ever hear.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
