We're done our first month of 2017, and it sure has been interesting so far! Here are some things we have to look forward to during the rest of the year.

1. New Music

Ed Sheeran, Drake, Fergie, Katy Perry, Eminem, and many more are expected to release new music this year. Get ready for some new hits!

2. New Movies

A lot of remakes and sequels are coming out this year as well as original films. "A Dog's Purpose"(January 27), "Fifty Shades Darker" (February 10), "Beauty and the Beast" (March 17), "Transformers: The Last Knight" (June 23), "The Fate of the Furious" (April 14), "Captain Underpants" (June 2), and a lot more.

3. Our President

Whether you support Trump or not, we are all anticipating a different form of office and outcomes. It should be an interesting time with Trump now in office.

4. New and Improved Cars

Cars are always changing and upgrading. You can possibly get your hands on a model of the car in Back to the Future.

5. Safety

Safety for your home, self, and cars are advancing.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
