April will be here this Saturday, and thank goodness! Here are five reasons why to be excited for the fourth month of the year!
Hopefully some TRUE spring weather!
I'm pretty sure every part of the United States has been having weird weather besides the South, so hopefully Mother Nature will be gracious and keep her cold spells to herself. Anyways, break out those shorts, the tank-tops and the nice sunglasses because the weather is going to be great again! The beach is calling, the rain is refreshing and all sorts of fun local or college events happen around this time, so get out there!
The end of the semester
Just imagine, especially if you're a freshmen, the sweet release when all your finals are done, the projects are turned in, you're getting ready to move out and go home for the summer. You're not there yet, but it will be here before you know it because time likes to play mind tricks on you. (Mindless Zuri rambling aside) Stay motivated, time manage well, and do whatever you can to brave the storm!
A few exciting movies!
Now, this is just my opinion; you guys may have some movies coming out soon that you're excited about, that's fine! Drop a comment after reading about what you're excited about! "The Circle" and "The Fate of the Furious" are the most talked about movies coming out next month, but there could be some potential breakouts! Be on the lookout!
New Netflix Shows!
The most anticipated TV shows hitting the popular streaming service are "13 Reasons Why" and "Dear White People."
"13 Reasons" is an adaptation of the 2007 YA novel by Jay Asher. Clay Jensen discovers cassette tapes in a mysterious box left for him, which turned out to be recorded by Hannah Baker, a classmate and his crush who committed suicide. I have to say, the trailer and slogan for the TV is pretty great and will get anyone hooked or interested to find out what happened to Baker. It premieres on March 31, but it's close enough!
"Dear White People" is also an adaptation of the 2014 satirical film of the same name, where several African-American students attend an Ivy League college in the midst of racial tensions. This film made it in the news due to the "controversial" trailer in February and its response from the "alt-right" side. No one is sure about the actual plot of the TV series, but it could mirror the original movie; it will include the same characters and newcomers as well. It premieres on April 28.
Earth Day and Arbor Day!
On the 22nd and 28th day of April respectively, it's a great time to learn how to be environmentally friendly and appreciate the Earth we live on! I recommend checking out local events for Earth Day celebration. If not, try looking up ways to be more environmentally conscious, such as eating habits, traveling, energy and water use, reducing waste and recycling.
