We all remember "High School Musical." We all remember how every female tween swooned for Troy Bolton, and how all of us secretly loved Sharpay's flamboyant costumes and locker decorations. We all didn't really like Taylor (let's be real, she was irrelevant), but we adored everything about Gabriela. And Troy and Gabriela were relationship GOALS.

From its catchy songs and attractive characters, it glorified high school. Now that we've all experienced high school and realized that it's not as fun and flirty as the movie made it out to be, "High School Musical" has been pushed aside as that cheesy Disney movie we all watched long ago.

However, re-listening to some of the classic songs from the "High School Musical" trilogy, I noticed how the lyrics and take-home messages were surprisingly powerful and important. This seemingly classic Disney movie that we all watched was actually teaching us lessons that were necessary for the maturing mind. It's time to appreciate "High School Musical" in all its glory--as young adults.

Here are the reasons and lyrics that prove that "High School Musical" is always relevant.

1. It taught us that having a balanced life is hard to achieve, but is worthwhile. It's perfectly normal (and amazing) to have multiple hobbies, passions, and interests, and you have every right in the world to pursue all of them.

2. It taught us that go-time means go-time. You can't let other people get in the way of accomplishing what you have to do.

4. It taught us that it's okay to be frustrated when things aren't playing out as expected, and that this unexpected change may be for the better.

5. It taught us that you have to work hard to achieve your best and your dreams, and that competition is out there.

Can we take a moment to appreciate the lyrics to "Bop to the Top?"

I believe in dreaming--shooting for the stars

Baby to be number one, you got to raise the bar

Kicking and scratching--grinding out my best

Anything it takes to climb the ladder of success

Work our tails off everyday--gotta bump the competition, blow them all away

6. It taught us the importance of teamwork and its ability to accomplish anything.

7. It taught us to have faith in our friendships, and that at the end of the day, it's your friends that lift you up and support you for who you truly are.

8. It taught us that, honestly, taking control over our own lives and our future is pretty terrifying--but that we're not alone in this struggle.
