The start of a new year is always an exciting time, especially after saying goodbye to such a tragic year like 2016. The last year was rough on a lot of us, but luckily 2017 seems to already be showing signs of improvement after only one day. Here are seven things that happened that can give us hope.
1. Ed Sheeran announced his musical return.
God bless our favorite British ginger.
2. Taylor Swift also showed some promise for a potential comeback.
Jack Antonoff, aka her right hand man, tweeted this quote Sunday morning so we can only hope TS6 will be making its appearance this year.
3. Someone vandalized the Hollywood sign.
Not exactly a positive thing, but at least we know 2017 has a sense of humor.
4. The new series of "Sherlock" was released.
BBC's beloved crime solving duo is back and better than ever.
5. Freeform kicked off the year with a "Harry Potter Weekend."
There really is no better way to start a year.
6. All beloved celebs made it through the first day safe and accounted for.
Betty White is fine everyone, don't worry.
7. 2016 is finally behind us.
Obviously there's really no way to see how this year will go after just a day, but at least the horrible year that was 2016 is now in the past. We can now move forward with a fresh start and a clean slate. The new year is what we make it, so in the words of the great Hannah Montana, "Let's make it rock." Bring it on 2017.
