This year, I’m thankful for Hamilton: An American Musical, and Lin-Manuel Miranda. I was very skeptical before listening to the Hamilton soundtrack – hip hop is definitely not my first choice of music. But after I listened to Hamilton for the first time, I understood the hype. After the second, I found myself wanting to learn the lyrics. I now consider myself a true Hamilfan, and I’m always trying to get friends to join the club. From spontaneous Hamilton sing-alongs with friends at all hours to watching digital #Ham4Hams, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s genius has made my year so much better. – Lauren Wengrovitz
