publisher from the qns.com Joshua Schneps | Publisher | Aspire New year, new opportunities. For thousands of years, people have looked at January 1 as a fresh beginning, a time to reinvent themselves, do things they haven’t done, get their term papers finished early, lose weight, exercise more, save money – the list is virtually endless. Whether any of those things are on your list of resolutions or not, the start of 2017 brings with it a sense of excitement. Yes, you can ace that chem class, take off the freshman 15, join a new club and make new friends. You can also use the cold winter weather as an excuse to burrow inside and escape with a good book, challenge yourself with a tough video game, or binge-watch one of those once-you-start-you-can’t-stop TV shows. If any of those activities is in your future, we’ve got you covered. Check out our story on binge-worthy shows and hunker down with one or more of our writer’s faves. She’s also selected some of the best books to come out in recent months; any one of them would keep you happy inside during a January snowstorm. So, too, would the video games that our on-staff video gamer has ID’d. Or, if you’re more sports-oriented, join our sportswriter in his look back at the biggest moments in 2016 sports. There was more than enough excitement to go around – even if you’re not from Chicago or Cleveland! Heading out? Bundle up in some of the season’s hottest looks, as seen in our winter fashion spread. You’ll look stylish and stay warm, whether you’re heading to the mall, or across campus for a study session in the library. If it’s your last semester at the university, check out our article on how to make the most of it – seeing friends, even making new ones, without slacking off on that all-important academic work. Are you a film buff? If so, don’t miss our article on the various superhero franchises gracing the silver screen. Which ones work? Which ones are less than stellar? Those are the questions our writer tries to answer though you may disagree. If so, let us know. Are you trying to save money after holiday shopping? Check out our article on easy ways to watch the dollars mount up. Whatever you save can go towards spring break, perhaps, or a summer backpacking in Europe or Asia, where you can enjoy new experiences that will open the whole world up to you.
