2016 was a rough year. Let's not talk about it. Will 2017 be the same? No one knows. But one thing we do know is that there's plenty of stuff going down this year that will make 2017 worth it!

1. Movies

The movie lineup for 2017 looks amazing. Several beloved movie franchises are getting new installments this year, such as Star Wars, Guardians of the Galaxy, Wolverine, Alien, Thor, John Wick, Planet of the Apes, Cars, Kingsman and Pirates of the Caribbean (to name a few). Audiences are also getting brand new movies that they've always wanted (or never knew they wanted until now), such as Spider-Man, Justice League, Wonder Woman, Lego Batman, a live-action Beauty and the Beast, Baywatch, King Arthur and Power Rangers. By the looks of it, 2017 will have loads of brand new movies that everyone will enjoy. Just the thought of a new Star Wars movie makes my wallet tingle.

2. Music

Music is a matter of taste. Everyone has specific genres of music that appeal to them. Whether you're a fan of hip-hop, a rocker, or a popper, 2017 will provide lots of new albums to quench your thirst for new tunes. Big names such as Drake, Nine Inch Nails, Blondie, U2, Depeche Mode, Jay Z, Beck, Charlie XCX, Bruce Springsteen and Eminem will be releasing new albums for their dedicated fanbases. Lots of new songs will be popping up on radio stations worldwide.

3. TV Shows

Several critically-acclaimed shows will still be going strong in 2017, with new seasons right around the corner. Shows such as Game of Thrones, Blacklist, Walking Dead, Stranger Things, Supernatural, The Flash and Arrow will be releasing brand new episodes for your enjoyment. Whether you watch television, Netflix, or both, you can definitely expect new episodes of all your favorite shows. And let's not forget the new shows coming out, such as the new Star Trek Discovery series, or the Wizard of Oz inspired Emerald City, or the new Marvel series The Iron Fist. Grab your blankets and let the binge watching begin.


4. Video Games

This is my personal favorite. Video games are a massive market, and 2017 will be the year of several brand new games, such as a new Mass Effect game, Resident Evil, Tom Clancy, Injustice, Red Dead Redemption and more. Also, Nintendo will be releasing a revolutionary new system called the Switch, along with awesome new games, like the long-awaited Legend of Zelda game and a new Mario game. 2017 will be a spectacular year for gamers, young and old.

2017 looks promising. No matter what happens this year, we can all find comfort by watching our new superhero movies, listening to some new Drake tracks and playing some Zelda. Sounds like a good year to me.

AI music threatens creativity

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.
