We all love a good drinking game, admit it. Whether your go-to is pong, BOOM!, or even flip cup — but the underrated ones are the ones that you and your friends come up with on your own during that movie night. When school ended this past year, I went on a trip and as soon as I returned, my roomie and I had a lot of catching up to do. So we turned on our favorite movie and here is what happened: we turned it into a drinking game.

Look no further, because if you have always wanted rules to drink for "The Greatest Showman," here they are!

1. Drink every time PT Barnum tells a lie

There's a lot of them, hope you're thirsty.

2. Drink every time PT Barnum takes out a loan

He is irresponsible, so you should be too — DRINK.

3. Drink every time an underrated character is on screen

Tattooed man, DRINK. Siamese twins, DRINK. Ann Wheeler, DRINK. Need I go on???

4. Drink every time the bearded lady is on screen

So underrated that she gets her own rule.

5. Drink every time someone is mean to PT Barnum, as a child or adult

Alloy

THAT SLAP THOUGH.

6. Drink every time PT Barnum is shady to someone else

The Weekend Fox

Let's be honest... he wasn't exactly fair.

7. Drink every time someone addresses PT as "Phineas"

It's just funny.

P.S. We cannot be held responsible for any level of intoxication if you decide to play this game, but we can promise lots of laughs, fun, and anticipation of lies. Good luck!

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
