The new year quickly approaches and we all have New Year's resolutions in mind. We want to lose weight, earn more money and just have a better lifestyle. We forget about the year that came before and prepare to start anew. So the question to consider is: What is there to look forward to in 2017?

1. "Beauty and the Beast"

This wonderful tale of Belle and the Beast comes to life with Emma Watson and Dan Stevens as they take over the big screens. There is much hype about this film which will come out March 17, 2017. Mark your calendars, this is one you won't want to miss.

2. "Mean Girls" the musical

Get in loser, we are going to a musical. Tina Fey, writer of the movie, has come together with her husband to compose a totally fetch musical about the four girls and the trouble they cause with the Burn book. It is rumored to come out in the fall of 2017, so be aware.

3.Eminem's new album

Sparks flew for Eminem this year as he expressed his opinion on Donald Trump being elected. According to msn.com, Eminem stated that Trump is a "loose canon" and is "blunt with his hand on the button." His new album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, should be lit and demonstrates how he is "Chuck Norris with a thesaurus."

4. "Guardians Of The Galaxy" Vol. 2

It's a big year for movies and even a bigger year for Chris Pratt. This all too familiar squad has come together for another movie that is to air April 28, 2017. The first one was such a success ($773.3 million worth to be exact) that they just had to film another.

5. Women's March on Washington

Once Trump officially starts "running" the country, women will gather outside of the White House to send a strong statement to Trump. Their goal is to "uplift voices that have been silenced." More than 119,000 people have RSVP'd on Facebook and this event invites both men and women to participate.

2017 is a promising year. Many great films are going to debut, so at least we will be entertained. Many great music artists are releasing albums. The country will see what Trump does during his presidency and if the citizens will agree with it. All I know is, it has to be bette than 2016. Good riddance 2016, you won't be missed.
