Things to Look Forward to in 2017

Just some hope

10
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.

11. New music

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.

12. Beauty and The Beast Live

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
