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!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

There have been many lessons learned.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
