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.

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.

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.

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.
