The title of this article says it all, this movie will not disappoint.

"The Greatest Showman" is a recent movie/musical that came out that is about PT Barnum's story of how he became a successful ringleader. This musical is all about facing your biggest fears and embracing your own insecurities. Which I think personally, is a HUGE message that the world needs to know.

PT Barnum is played by Hugh Jackman, who does a fantastic job portraying. He's also an incredible singer, who knew? Random fact, this movie took 7 years to produce and film. During the filming process Hugh ended up breaking a rib and that just shows you how intense this movie actually is.

Visually, this movie is incredible. As a photographer, I understand the rules they have to use to make a picture pleasing and boy did the do that in this motion picture. The quality is fantastic. Overall cinematic effects are incredible. I can't imagine how hard it was to build and create all the stages they use throughout the movie. I can't imagine how many pounds of makeup they used in this movie. It is truly incredible.

Musically, this move is even better than the visual effects. Personally, I am a HUGE choral nerd. I love harmonies and anything that has to do with pretty songs. I also love musicals. I know a terrible musical when I see one, and I can say that "The Greatest Showman" is the complete opposite of terrible. I'm not going to spoil anything for those who haven't seen it quite yet, but I was in awe the entire movie. My mother had seen the movie before I did, and I wasn't quite sure as to why she was obsessing over it until I saw it. Now, I'm the one obsessed and I cannot stop listening to the soundtrack!

Overall, I give this movie a 12/10 if that's possible. It's just that good. "The Greatest Showman" will send you through a whirl of emotions. Not gonna lie, I cried a few times. Even if you're not a choir nerd like me, I definitely recommend going to see "The Greatest Showman" as soon as you can.

I can't forget to mention that Zac Efron is in this movie, and does a fantastic job alongside Zendaya.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
