The holidays are fast approaching and 2015 may be winding down, but there are still a lot of other things to be excited about right now! Here are five things to look forward to as 2015 ends and 2016 begins, so get on the hype train and let’s get moving.
1. There’s a new Star Wars movie!
After many years since the last installment, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” was released on Dec. 18. It’s been getting good reviews all around and it has a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes right now. There’s even a spin-off film of Han Solo being developed right now, so there’s that to look forward to in the future.
2. There are new Smash DLCs!
The Smash Bros. Direct aired on December 15, and in addition to the highly requested Cloud, we’re getting two new characters to download! Corrin and Bayonetta will be joining the Smash 4 roster on Feb. 26. Corrin may be another Fire Emblem swordsman, but at least he turns into a dragon, which is pretty cool.
3. There’s a "Full House" spin-off!
Feb. 26 will also be the day “Fuller House” premieres on Netflix, making it a very exciting day. The trailer for the upcoming spin-off was revealed on Dec. 17. It’ll be great to have the Tanner clan back on our TV screens (for the nostalgia), even if only for 13 episodes.
4. There are two more Marvel movies!
Three if you count the upcoming “Deadpool” movie releasing on Feb. 12, 2016, will see the releases of two more movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. “Captain America: Civil War” will be released on May 6, while “Doctor Strange” comes out on Nov. 4. From there you have a “Guardians of the Galaxy” sequel, among other Marvel films, to look forward to come 2017.
5. There’s a month of winter break!
Well, approximately, depending on when you finished your finals. But whatever amount it is, that time is yours and you can do anything you want with it without worrying about schoolwork. Sleep, play video games, watch Netflix, anything to relax – or go on vacation. Just don’t sleep the entire break away…
Even though 2015 is almost over, there’s a lot to look forward to in 2016. Plus, it’s winter break for all of you college students, so that should be fun and relaxing.
