The Most Anticipated Entertainment Of 2017

The ball has dropped. The resolutions have been made (and hopefully not broken yet.) So...now what? Well get excited, because 2017 is pulling out all of the stops when it comes to entertainment. Here are just a few of the titles you won't want to miss this year.

Movies

"Baywatch"

"Out with the new and in with the reboots" is the motto for 2017. First on the list is "Baywatch", starring shirtless Zac Efron and shirtless Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson running around the beach saving lives. Count me in. The trailer alone has given me the inspiration to (think about) getting in shape.

"Beauty and the Beast"

The highly anticipated live-action version of "Beauty and the Beast" is finally coming this year. Starring the always magical Hermione Granger Emma Watson, it's the ultimate Disney fantasy come to life. I'll be singing and crying along in the theater.

"Fifty Shades Darker"

Not to put any unneeded pressure on Valentine's Day, but...who are you going to see the new "Fifty Shades" movie with??? After a Grey-free 2016, the infamous franchise will finally be back on the big screen this February. And if it's anything like the first movie, we'll also be blessed with a killer soundtrack. To tide you over, Taylor Swift and Zayn Malik have released the movie's first song, "I Don't Wanna Live Forever."

"Star Wars: Episode VIII"

Seriously, what did we even do in years without "Star Wars" releases? Episode eight is due in late 2017, and although there isn't much information out yet, we already can't wait. After the heartbreaking passing of the great Carrie Fisher in December, this movie will be even more special. Fisher had already wrapped filming before her death, so expect General Leia to make one last, magnificent appearance.

Music

Niall Horan

Directioners, rejoice! The Irish cutie and former member of One Direction (may it rest in peace) is launching his solo career this year. Date and title are TBD, but judging by the first single, "This Town", he's going to have us crushing all year long.

Lorde

Nearly four years after her triumphant breakout album, Lorde promises that she's back in 2017. The singer has been keeping her fans in the loop via Twitter. But don't expect the sixteen-year-old New Zealander we fell in love with last time around, because according to her, a lot has changed.

Ed Sheeran

After a year-long social media hiatus, Ed surprised us all this past December when he tweeted a mysterious blue image. Fans immediately suggested that he has an album in the works. I'd bet money on a 2017 release.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
