What was your favorite entertainment as a child? Was it having the imagination of running to the circus? Have you ever been to the circus? If so, what is your favorite act?

"The Greatest Showman" is the next big movie that we can relate to the next to the 1941 film "Dumbo," that takes our imagination to the next level of what we can imagine what the circus is like.

Life is about taking risks and going after your dreams. From a very young age, the main character started from nothing and was nothing in the society he grew up in. He dreamed of many dreams and started from the bottom and worked his way up the ladder of success. As many of us can relate we are still looking for our niche in life. We may go from job to job, but nothing feels right and then we turn one new experience into something grand.

This movie has everything wrapped in one. It has action, romance, and a great soundtrack. The words to the songs are so uplifting and they will have you smile and tap your toes each time.

This movie also has Zac Efron in it who is a dream to look at. No matter how many times I watch the movie my heart stops and wonders if he will make it out alive? (if you haven't seen the movie watch it so you know what I am talking about!) This movie took seven years to make and it is every bit of great wrapped in one. It takes our dream of the circus and tells a story of one of the most famous people the circus knows today.

This movie not only teaches us that if we fall, but we also need to get back up again and try again.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
