12 Movies, Albums, and TV Shows To Look Forward To This Year

It goes without saying that a new year brings new possibilities for virtually everything. This year is bringing ample new media, with potential blockbuster movies and chart-topping albums, among others, on their way. From Marvel Studios to Taylor Swift, here's just a few of the media being released this year.

1. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

This sequel hits theaters May 5, so it's a perfect treat for the end of the academic year.

2. Nicki Minaj's untitled album

There's no word on its specific release date, but with her last album having been released in 2014, we're all ready for some new verses from the Queen of Rap.

3. Spider-Man: Homecoming

Fans first got a taste of Tom Holland as the new Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War, but this year he's starring in his own film that debuts on July 7.

4. Taylor Swift's untitled album

Like Nicki Minaj before her, Taylor Swift has also promised an album this year with no specific release date. However, it's much anticipated after the overwhelming success of her last studio album, 1989.

5. Pitch Perfect 3

Pitch Perfect helped bring a cappella into mainstream media, alongside Pentatonix, that is, and the saga continues this winter, with Pitch Perfect 3 wrapping up the year with its release on December 22.

6. Stranger Things, season two

I'll just leave this here.

7. A.Y.F.

Bebe Rexha's first studio album, All Your Fault, abbreviated as A.Y.F., was set for release in fall 2016 but got pushed back to 2017. It's unclear when the album is being released, but there's no doubt that it will be successful as the singer has starred in David Guetta's Hey Mama, G-Eazy's Me, Myself & I, and Martin Garrix's In the Name of Love, among songs of her own, such as I Got You and No Broken Hearts, which features Nicki Minaj.

8. Thor: Ragnarok

The third film in the Thor series, this film debuts on November 3.

9. Fifty Shades Darker

This steamy sequel is to be released on February 10.

10. Star Wars: Episode VIII

Like Pitch Perfect 3, this second installment in the newest Star Wars trilogy is rounding out the year with its release in December, being released on the 15.

11. Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman is D.C.'s next film following 2016's smash hit Suicide Squad. This film debuts on June 2.

12. Beauty and the Beast

Beauty and the Beast is Disney's much anticipated live-action film following the likes of Cinderella and Maleficent before it. It's due for release on March 17.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential.

And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
