There's nothing like seeing a movie that you've wanted to see for a while and being blown away by how amazing it was. The movie "The Greatest Showman" has easily become my new favorite movie (considering I saw it three times in a two-week span) and easily has the best soundtrack. As difficult as it was to narrow it down to only a few, here are the reasons why "The Greatest Showman" is really the greatest movie out there...


1. The Cast

I think it's safe to say that the cast of "The Greatest Showman" is absolutely INSANE and UNREAL. From Hugh Jackman to Zac Efron (let's face it, he's everyone's favorite person) to Zendaya, this star-studded cast KILLED IT! From the acting to the singing and dancing, the actors and actresses in this incredible movie are crazy talented!! Oh, and who knew that Zac Efron would be back for another musical?


2. The Soundtrack

Personally, I think that the best part of this whole movie is the soundtrack. Every single song on this soundtrack is amazing, catchy, and inspiring as well. You can't help but smile every time you hear the beginning of songs like "The Greatest Show", "This Is Me", "The Other Side", and well all of them! I find myself listening to this soundtrack every day whether I'm just relaxing in my dorm room, walking to class, doing work, or getting ready for my day or night. (I'm not exaggerating...not even a little and I have no shame.) Luckily, I have the best roommate who is just as obsessed with this movie and its soundtrack as I am. If we're being honest, once you start listening to the soundtrack, you'll know every word and will be singing the lyrics whether you like it or not.


3. The Story

The story of "The Greatest Showman" is truly unlike anything we've seen in the movies. It starts out with young P.T. Barnum who comes from nothing. Later on in the film, we see how successful P.T. becomes with his idea of the circus and how he takes in people who are recognized in the film as "outsiders" due to their different qualities and traits. This story itself is very inspirational and keeps the audience on their toes the whole time.



4. The Overall Message

As great of a story this movie is, the overall message is something that inspires people of all ages. This movie shows that with success, comes hard work and dedication. P.T. Barnum is a prime example of this. Don't be afraid to do something that you want to do. You can do anything you put your mind to.

5. The Good Vibes It Brings

Before I saw this movie for the first time, I didn't expect it to be as amazing as it was. Let's just say that I left this movie STUNNED. You can't help but smile from anything and everything about this movie. The story, the cast, the soundtrack, ALL OF IT IS AMAZING! It will make your heart so happy and is a feel good movie with an inspiring story and amazing music. Go see it. I'm telling you, you will never be the same.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
