10 "The Greatest Showman" Songs To Get You Through Every Difficult Situation

"The Greatest Showman" is the movie everyone's talking about. And yes, that means you have to see it (if you haven't already!). This family-friendly original musical about P.T. Barnum starring Hugh Jackman is a unique blend of drama, inspiration, love, and passion. Its soundtrack is so diverse and can get you through any difficult situation.

1. When you want to give up

'From Now On' is the song you got to loop when you feel like you are going to give up on something, or someone.

What's waited till tomorrow starts tonight
It starts tonight
And let this promise in me start
Like an anthem in my heart

2. When you want to get pumped up

'The Greatest Show' is going to do more than just pump you up, it's going to make you feel like you are going to get stuff done as soon as you get up.

Your fever dream, can't you see it getting closer
Just surrender 'cause you feel the feeling taking over

3. When you are frustrated with everything

You need to be able to have your own dreams and your own plans. Sometimes when things aren't going the way you want them to, it is pretty frustrating, but the song 'A Million Dreams' reminds you that you gotta continue with your own path because that's what will make you the happiest.

Every night I lie in bed
The brightest colors fill my head
A million dreams are keeping me awake
I think of what the world could be

4. When you are afraid to break free from overwhelming expectations

There is always a pressure to conform: your gender, your sexual orientation, or even your passion. 'Come Alive' is the song you need to loop when this becomes too overwhelming.

But you can flip the switch and brighten up your darkest day
Sun is up and the color's blinding
Take the world and redefine it
Leave behind your narrow mind
You'll never be the same

5. When you need to remember to take life a little less seriously

We are here in the world for a short time and we need to remember to sometimes just let everything go and just do what you want to do. 'The Other Side' urges you to do something daring and have fun while doing it.

So trade that typical for something colorful
And if it's crazy, live a little crazy
You can play it sensible, a king of conventional
Or you can risk it all and see

6. When you don't feel inspired to do more

We all get tired, and I don't mean the physical exhaustion. I'm talking about the mental one. 'Never Enough' reminds you that you can always push yourself to do more.

All the shine of a thousand spotlights
All the stars we steal from the nightsky
Will never be enough

7. When you feel ashamed of your faults

This is my favorite song of this whole soundtrack and for good reason, 'This is Me' is the song for those times when you feel that you aren't good enough.

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be, this is me

8. When you think it's impossible

This is another favorite of mine. 'Rewrite the Stars' is so raw and beautiful and shows just how free will can make a difference.

It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight

9. When you crave an adventure

Sometimes, we just want to risk it all but we aren't able to. 'Tightrope' reminds us of why we should strive for adventure.

Never sure, never know how far we could fall
But it's all an adventure
That comes with a breathtaking view
Walking the tightrope

And finally,

10. When you've lost your way

'From Now On' is a reminder to remember who we are and why we are here, and where is home.

When the glitter fades and the walls won't hold
'Cause from then, rubble
What remains
Can only be what's true
If all was lost
There's more I gained
Cause it led me back
to you

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
