New Year New Stuff!

New Year New Stuff!
Armstrong Economics

With the horror that was the year 2016 done forever, it is time to now focus on the future that is 2017. So much has happened such as constant celebrity deaths, the 2016 election, Zika virus outbreaks, and the rest of that long list. But now, 2017 is here and I decided to list eight things I am personally excited about in 2017 in no particular order.

1. First modern female led super hero movie

She first appeared in Batman v Superman, but now she has her own movie to kick butt in. Gal Gadot will be taking center stage in the new Wonder Woman movie. The movie is still half a year away but will be out in theaters June 2nd.

2. Nintendo Switch

If you or anyone you know owns a Wii U, then you know how much criticism it received after it came out. Critics noted how there was very few games that used the touchpad control as an integrated and essential part of games. But now Nintendo has stopped production of the Wii U and is now releasing the Nintendo Switch which they describe as a handheld and a home console in one with multiple ways to play. Watch above to see what they mean. This is coming out in March 2017.

3. Crash Bandicoot Remastered

Using the nostalgia of the 90s, Sony teamed up with Naughty Dog to bring Crash Bandicoot back with fully remastered graphics and all. At the time of writing this is now set for release sometime in 2017.

4. New Music

Music stars such as Iggy Azelea, Little Big Town, Big Sean, Kelly Clarkson, Major Lazer, and many more have all mentioned or plan on having new albums out at some point this year.

5. More Will and Grace

After ending in 2007, more Will and Grace has been asked for by fans. A spin off idea came out in 2008 but nothing happened with it. Fans were then surprised when in September 2016 a short clip was released of a reunion with the focus on voting and the election. Now some time in the future of 2017 we will have a 10 episode season of Will and Grace!

6. Orange is the New Black

Now we can finally see what happens after all the stuff that went down on that last episode and this final image from when season four was ended.

7. More Marvel!

Releasing on May 5th, Chris Pratt and friends will be back to save the galaxy once more with a little Groot before joining in the anticipated next Avengers movie. Let us not forget the new Spiderman movie as well. After creating a deal with Sony, a now younger Peter Parker will join the MCU in Spiderman Homecoming being released July 2017.

8. Star Wars Episode VIII

We will finally get to see what happens after this image from Episode VII on December 15th. It may seem like you could be in a galaxy far far away faster than waiting but hopefully it will be time to see this faster than we wish 2016 was over!


Anything else I might of missed that you are excited for in 2017? Let me know in the comments section down below!

Of course, we all know that James Madison University is the greatest university in Virginia (perhaps even the entire country). There are many events and moments at JMU that are cherished and remembered by all dukes.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
