17 Things To Look Forward To In 2017
Henner Zeller

I am tired of people complaining on and on about how horrible 2016 was. Tragedy happens every day, bad things occur all the time, 2016 isn't special in those regards. Our society has an unfortunate habit of focusing on all things negative instead of the positive, or even a healthy mix. To start 2017 with a bright outlook, here are 17 things to look forward to this coming year:

1. "Spider-Man: Homecoming"

Spider-Man is FINALLY under Marvel's tender love and care . Let's just hope they don't screw him up because we do NOT need a fourth reboot in under 20 years.

2. "House of Cards" Season 5

I am not a man of politics unless you mention Frank Underwood.

3. "Wonder Woman"

Women are powerful and deserve the spotlight. This is the first of many modern milestones for bad-ass-or-not ladies on the big screen.

4. Summer

This is always something to look forward to. Every year. Is it April yet?

5. "Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2"

Did you see the trailer?!

6. Award Season

The film industry is making a serious push toward diversity. The BAFTAs made a huge step by announcing films will not be eligible for the award if the film is not diverse, starting in 2019.

7. "Thor: Ragnorok"

I NEED TO SEE THOR AND HULK AGAIN!!!

8. "Sense8" Season 2

This show is a hidden treasure . It's full of the most diverse cast in modern television, relatable issues that society faces in the real world, not to mention class A writing, acting, directing...

9. "Game of Thrones" Season 7

We're all bummed it will only be seven episodes, but DANAERYS IS COMING TO WESTEROS.

10. Rick Grimes

His balls finally dropped! Watch out, Negan, the (good) old Rick is back! Now we have to get Carol on board.

11. J. K. Rowling is working on TWO books

Not one, but TWO ! One of which will be under her alias Robert Galbraith, and the other under her own name!!??!!

12. Horror Movies

With a line up including movies like "The Bye Bye Man," "Annabelle 2," "Insidious: Chapter 4," and reboots/revivals from iconic series such as "It," "Alien," "Saw," and "Ring," 2017 better make me poop my pants.

13. "Stranger Things" Season 2

We all fell in love last summer. Now we're waiting for the call back ...

14. A Total Solar Eclipse In August

I'm going to South Carolina to see this astronomic event, even though I don't need an excuse to go to South Carolina.

15. "Orange is the New Black" season 5

THAT CLIFFHANGER THOUGH.

16. Your Birthday

In advance, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

17. We will learn from the mistakes and tragedies of 2016

2016 was a crappy year, but it will remain a crappy year if you only reminisce about the crappy things. There was a lot of good. Let's meet 2017 with a positive attitude and open arms.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
