Just some hope

Things to Look Forward to in 2017

1. iPhone 8

There are rumors of the iPhone’s design, specs and features, including a curved AMOLED display, no home buttons or bezels, a sloped glass back, possible AR powers and wireless charging.

2. Nintendo Switch

It lets you literally switch from playing it as a traditional console in your living room to a handheld you take on the go.

3. Surface Pro 5

4. Samsung's Galaxy S8

Expected to be unveiled at February’s MWC, both versions of the S8 may feature a curved display, but other areas of advancement include the camera and processing power.

5. New, Less Expensive VR Headsets

With the Samsung Gear VR ($99/about £80 or AU$130) and Google Daydream View ($79/£69/about AU$104) already driving the price of mobile VR down, this could mean solid yet less expensive headsets becoming accessible to everyone.

6. Varied VR Content

Qualcomm and Power Rangers are showing off a VR experience tied to the spring film at CES 2017, and the NBA now offers a live weekly game presented in VR via its League Pass service.

7. Wearables

Android Wear 2.0 is leading the way in early 2017

8. Smart Home Products

Microsoft has said it plans to bring its virtual assistant Cortana to Internet-of-Things connected devices in the New Year, including fridges, other kitchen appliances and thermostats. If it has a screen, chances are Cortana will find its way to it.

9. Microsoft Project Scorpio

The console was announced at Microsoft's E3 briefing this year, and it claims it's going to be the most powerful console ever built.

10. Augmented Reality

After seeing the success of Pokémon Go, look for more game and app makers to tap into AR to deliver another layer of immersion to their creations.

Katy Perry, Brad Paisley, Drake, Lorde, Shania Twain, The Chainsmokers, Bell Biv DeVoe, Fergie, Ed Sheran and Iggy Azalea are expected to release new albums.

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.

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.

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.
