Note: My comment is pretty long (over 1,000 words on Word), so I'm going to post until everything I have gets in there.
I’m not a political person. Not really, anyway. I also don’t care for sports (besides soccer… sort of), am just getting into new foods (couscous!), am the least technologically savvy 20-something out there today (I even still read real, physical books – imagine!), and my fashion sense is all but non-existent (t-shirt and jeans, anyone?). So what am I to do when the NYT asks me to act the sage and make predictions about politics, sports, food, technology, and/or fashion? I say, “I don’t know, I’m making this up as I go.” Thank you, Indiana Jones.
I think that’s what everyone is doing when they make predictions, no matter how much background or data they have. Because let’s face it: as Mr. Barbaro says, predictions “are hard – even hazardous.” A perfect example from my experience comes from last year’s video game No Man’s Sky. The game had been announced several years prior, and Sean Murray, the man at the helm, promised prospective players a lot in terms of what the game had to offer, leading to speculation after speculation that the game would be one to top all others. To say the least, they were very, very wrong. Gamers’ predictions, as well as their hopes, were crushed upon the game’s release because it was, well… really poorly done. But just as in any other instance, what the future potentially held intrigued the predictors; this is why we predict.

Maybe I was too young when Obama was first elected to remember anything similar happening back then, but I was sixteen when he was re-elected, and never before have I had people I didn’t know so openly talk to me about politics. I predict that this tendency will continue, even as the political atmosphere becomes more and more heated. It’s very possible that violence of some sort will result at a point; politics has engendered bloodshed time and again, and now is no different. People – especially New Yorkers – feel very strongly this time around on both sides, and while I don’t think anything as crazy as a civil war would erupt, the heightened tension in NYC is palpable. I feel it every day.
Building off the momentum of the election, I think NYC’s residents will become more active on all fronts, regardless of whom they voted for or what they believe in. Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve seen more people jogging, more people making healthy choices, more people taking active roles in what they do and what they want to do. Assuming it’s not just me seeing this, I hope this trend endures, as millennials especially are often accused of being lazy, unaccomplished, and whiny. Some of us are, to be sure, but the pervasiveness of NYC’s downcast political atmosphere has been accompanied by a newfound sense of vibrancy. This vibrancy has touched me; I’m still an introvert, no doubt, but I’ve been applying to more internships and pushing myself harder at work as of late.

My final prediction is a bit more personal. I go to school in the city, I work in the city, I commute to the city almost every day. Even before my college days, the city had been a permanent fixture in my life in one way or another. I even lived in the Bronx for a time. But before I know it, school will come to and end, and my part-time job will no longer be enough to sustain me. I’ll hopefully have had an internship or two by then. I don’t know who I’ll be or where I’ll end up years from now – that’s more or less unpredictable, and somewhat scary to speculate about. What I can predict with 100% certainty that I will miss the city – yearn for it – if I end up somewhere else. It will be a part of me for the rest of my life, and I a part of it.
Judging based off of a common consensus on social media, in classrooms, and in private circles, 2016 was a massive, head-pounding migraine that became progressively worse as the months wore on. At first slightly irritable but also small enough to ignore, the past year delivered some sharp pains to many of America's citizens. As soon as 2017 arrived, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and think refreshingly about the new year. Perhaps things won't turn out so bad, I thought, energetically tending to my New Years resolutions, which I have since shoved to the back of my brain. Unfortunately, the disgusting mess that American politics has become has already dominated the newborn year's first few weeks. As a result, I believe that 2017 will lead many Americans to feel the need to "swallow the pill," but for others, this mess will be absorbed and then released in beautiful, energetic forms. With optimism and hope, I forsee a year buzzing with communication: people from across the globe communicating more than ever before from behind their rectangular computer screens. I see a more nostalgic, traditional "good vs. bad" theme emerging in film combined with modern conceptions on the power of the individual and a voice. I think the millennials are going to seize 2017 and combine their (our) voices into a giant call for change, acceptance, and goodness, and that these feelings will emerge through journalism, social media, music, writing.
And, of course, Go Patriots.

Everyone seems to have a firm grasp on all the negative 2016 yielded. Most of us cast a broad stroke over the year as a whole, the same way we decide someone sucks because they did a few shitty things. Warranted or not, it surely sets low expectations and a negative undertone to 2017. So, call me an optimist (no really, call me an optimist), but I chose to believe in 2017. It’s only January and the world has seen a historic Women’s March on 5th, which is already more than 2016 can say. In New York’s 2017, there will be hiccups. The MTA will tack on an arbitrary 50 cents just because. After much anticipation and construction, the Staten Island Ferris Wheel will be built. Instagram will change it’s icon and disrupt the flow of things for a few days. More or less, we’ll still enter 2018 in debt, never having visited the forgotten borough, and accepting Instagram’s restless graphics department for who they are. What I do predict will affect us long term, though, is that in 2017, “indifference,” regardless of how it manifests, will be a dirty word - and I think that’s pretty cool.
2016 was a pretty awful year—I actually wrote a 3000-word essay on all the different ways it was awful. But the past is the past, so I’m trying to carry on, do my best to weather whatever comes my way.
2017 is sure to be a wild ride.
I’m not politically minded in the slightest, and I’m not going to pretend that I’m current with all the different ways the U.S. and world are falling apart. I have my views, my opinions, but I have absolutely no desire to discuss or debate them with anyone. It’s a hard thing to avoid, since my classes and my social media are flooded with people calling out everything and everyone deemed “problematic,” and said problematic things/people fighting back.
I’m tired, and my head hurts, so thanks but no thanks.
I want to focus my energy on the people I care about and the good things in our lives. I set a goal last semester to do at least one big, fun thing every month; I was left me with keepsakes and memories of incredible times. I intend to carry that goal over to the new semester.
Mostly, I’m hoping for the rectification and/or improvement of some of the awful things that happened last year. My best friend’s mom, a second mom to me, passed away. My own dad was diagnosed with cancer. Our families have had a rough time these last few months. I hope that we all improve and gain strength and continue moving forward.
It was a rough year, 2016. I’m not one for predictions, nor one for general optimism, but I have to hope that the year ahead will be better.

How in Hillary’s name could 2017 be any worse than 2016? That’s not a question I want to ask myself, or hear anyone ask for that matter. The shocking, devastating reality we are quivering in is thus: Donald Trump is President of the United States. So, if I had to venture to predict, I’d say that 2017 isn’t going to be stellar. Here are some things that I predict will make a comeback in 2017: shoulder pads, dickies, customized jean jackets, tangelos, flapper haircuts, the Charleston, travel agents, the Geico gecko, Heelies, and Madonna. Always.
Another actual, serious prediction: Donald Trump will get in trouble. Many times. Because of Twitter. Another prediction! Betty White will outlive us all. God bless her. This isn’t a prediction, but more of a general question: is it just me, or is everyone beautiful lately? Like, everybody I see is good-looking. Okay, 2017. I see you. P.W. (prediction warning): NBC will probably produce another sub-par live musical event. And the world will tune in. We will pretend not to love it, but we will all secretly love it. My final prediction: Ina Garten, a.k.a. the Barefoot Contessa, will rise from the ashes of our country and lead the rebirth of our nation. This is a long-held fantasy of mine. The Oracle has spoken.

I can make many predictions for the future in 2017, such as about, politics, the environment, animals, and of course myself. I believe politics isn't a very pleasant topic, since it creates arguments and things a lot worse than that. I believe this will continue on and create hate once our new president is sworn in. I do believe what is done by the people will create horrible things for our new president to deal with. Transitioning on, I have come to the subject of the environment. I believe lots of amazing things will be happening to animals and their habitat. But, along with that there are things that are a problem to like global warming. Global warming is a subject that is sad for many arctic animals and species. The environment is improving in ways and then dropping down in ways, not everything we use will last forever and that's important to know. With things going on like Tesla, I hope more people will think like this and that we will make the environment stronger! Moving right along into the category of animals. Animals are one of the best things in the world as I would say, but, people are things that will make these wonderful creatures miserable. Animal cruelty is a horrible thing that I wish never existed.
Let's begin with my very serious predictions and Millennial opinions of 2017. First of all, Juicy Couture resurgence will run rampant amongst women across the country. 20-25 year olds will return to the velour tracksuits as if they were their old high school boyfriend- comfortable and nostalgic. 2017 is all about romanticizing the 2000's. Things such as Live Strong bracelets, boy bands, and the Obama administration will evoke a deep sense of longing for the past, and we will hold these memories dearly as we move forward. The biggest issue we will face is the fight against millennial stigmas of being lazy and unaccomplished, but this is the year we learn to fight back. We will learn to make our own avocado toast as a means of peaceful protest against the fascist regime which will soon be inaugurated into the free world. We will form punk bands to express the angst, with hit singles like "Don't You Take my IUD away From Me", and "Deportation Exploitation". Some of us will even write satirical comments on New York Times articles as coping mechanisms for the year ahead.
I also believe flare jeans are making a huge comeback...so...get excited.

If 2016 has taught us anything it's that we can't rely solely on predictions anymore. If anything, it'd be better to train ourselves in the art of off-the-cuff decisions rather than pre-planned ones. This year was full of events that had little to no precursors. Or the events were so harrowing it felt like we were utterly blindsided, even if there was evidence to suggest it would happen. Unexpected celebrity deaths, political actions and results, and tragic global terrorism surrounded us on all sides. It almost became better to make wild predictions- or none at all- rather than to make what felt like sensible predictions. 2016 was the year of, “no, this can't happen in addition to all of that” and then it did. Donald Trump as president? The Orlando shooting? Terrorism in France? Brexit? Carrie Fisher’s massive heart attack? These things show that the predictions we could make in the new year are going to have to find a logical home among an illogical and insane new way of living. Trump’s presidency alone can be said to be unpredictable, as evident by his often flip flopping actions and opinions. But that too is just a prediction, and how much can we trust those after a year like this?
Trump’s presidency will lead to change. More focus will go into the country rather than international problems. Many people will be upset because of Trump’s decisions. I think the first item on the Republicans agenda is to shut down Obama Care. They also might put more focus on deporting illegal immigrants. I think the culture we stay relatively the same. I do believe that electric cars and other things that help the environment will become more popular. I hope to get my driver's licence this year. Sometimes predictions get our hopes too high. When they do not come true people get sad and even depressed. I think environment saving technologies will help with air pollution. I look forward with high hopes.
2017 will be the most interesting year of all time. We will be receiving our new president this year, which will bring about massive changes in our legal systems including the probable loss of ObamaCare. 2017 will also be very interesting for sports and I’m predicting that the Kansas City Chiefs will win the Superbowl this year. I can’t predict anything about the future, however I’m hoping that mine will come true. I believe La La Land will win the best picture and the Star Wars 8 will be the highest grossing film of 2017. I am predicting that it will be a very hard year, but can also become very rewarding.
Donald Trump won the president race. Most people did not see that coming? However, the Russians hacked the Democratic National Committee, another thing people did not see coming. There are so many predictions people can make. Who is going to win in the Super Bowl. Everything can be predicted, and it makes it fun. What type of technology will they release in 2017? There are so many questions to have and it makes you feel a little more involved when you make predictions. Donald Trump can either tear our nation apart or bring us together and prove everyone wrong. There is just too many things we can predict in the world. There will be a brand new dance move that everyone wants to do. There will be “new” fashions that were around in the 80’s. One that can worry you is what will Trump do with our nuclear codes? Plus we always have those sports predictions. March Madness, and Super Bowls. This is going to be a great year of great predictions.
Being a teenager, I obviously have some very different thoughts on President Donald J. Trump. On the Internet, Donald has become very disrespected. This is because, as we all know, Trump has done things on media that we all have rolled our eyes at. This is from silly, childish things such as interrupting Hillary constantly during debates. Since most of my experience with him is seeing him in this way, I personally believe he is not going to be a good President. Though I believe he is not a good man, I believe that since he has a general idea of how we think of him he will try and surround himself with more intellectual people who will help him make good decisions. So overall, do I think he should be President, no, but I do believe he will make some smart choices that will help him when he is in office.
I think that the new era of Republican control will not end well for the Democratic party, or the country itself. I think that all of the progress made in the past eight years will be gone and replaced with opposites of what had been done by the Obama presidency. However, I think that the Republicans have become too used to having no consequence for what happens, given that before they knew in some part that they were not going to pass the promised things. Now that they are able to, they are now held responsible. I think that this will after a short time slow down their reversal of progress made in the last eight years due to them being the only ones to blame for their actions, they have no democratic authority to pass the blame onto and off themselves.
2017 is going to be a very intriguing year in terms of fashion. Fashion inspiration from Donald Trump and his family will soon affect the whole country once he is inaugurated as president. I anticipate that Ivanka Trump and the rest of the Trump family will calm down with their clothing lines because I feel it is corrupt to buy into the president’s families businesses. In the article What to Watch for in Fashion in 2017 author Vanessa Friedman says, “Melania celebrated in a black Dolce & Gabbana sheath (...) if not in her own brand, Ivanka opted for Roland Mouret and Alexander McQueen.” Hopefully this trend of Melania and Ivanka wearing clothes outside of their lines with last for Trump’s whole presidency and they won’t promote their business. In the subject of trends I am ecstatic to jump onto the bandwagon of wearing clothes on the baggy side that are also boxy. Hopefully 2017 will be the year of everyone trying styles out of their comfort zones. I am eager to see new designer’s on the runways instead of seeing clothes and accessories from the same lines again and again. I can’t wait to see the crazy fashion trends 2017 will reveal and hopefully try them all out.
Happy New Year! New year, new me...wait that didn't sound right. New year, same old me. I don't want to change just because it's a New year. I can't make a New Year's resolution because I'm going to try for a week and not stick to it for the rest of the year. People "change" on New Year's because they were somebody they didn't want to be or they were caught up in a bad past. I say if you don't like who I am than whatever. But you don't have to change completely. You can always fix certain things in your life but can never change your whole self. As much as the past is the past, the past can follow you into the future. Fix it.
I don't think Donald J. Trump is the best idea of a President. His ideas could cost millions of jobs. But then what does he care, he's getting all that money. But I'm not saying that Hilary Clinton is the best either, they could have both changed some things about their campaign.
I believe that in the future there are going to be more trends a lot more. Fashion, travel, technology. Has anyone heard of the Snapchat spectacles. They seem really cool. But aside from a fashion trend going around sre bomber jackets. There are so many trends and trends to come.

I disagree with your statement on how Trump's presidency will cost millions of jobs. He has express how he wants to outsource less jobs, creating more jobs in the states.
2016 has been one of the craziest and wildest years. Through that time we felt anger, worried, anxiety, sadness, and happiness. From the new president being chosen to many political issues. But that is all in the past and we should try out hardest to live beyond that memory. 2017 is going to be another year full of trial and error. I can't predict the future, and nor will I pretend to. The world is in our hands and who knows what we'll do with that. I can predict though, that if we stick together our country can be unstoppable. I'm not sure about my own future, but I can plan out what I want to happen. I hope to stop stressing about school and all this work that is constantly being pushed on me. I want to be able to explore more opportunities outside of high school, and focus on what makes me happy. For example like traveling a lot more and getting to experience something I've never seen before. I want to achieve more goals that are important to me. I predict that 2017 will be a year of stepping out of your comfort zone and leaving all negative things behind.
I think that fashion trends will change completely with the new year. Pantsuits on women and the casual dress-shirt look on men is done. The White House may have non-American designers for the first time in a while, which will set the precedent for fashion in that area. Also, baggier clothes will become more fashionable with the promise of a whole new runway era from Raf Simons. The runway trend of having both genders on the runway also has the possibility of becoming a new thing in 2017. Movies with fashion icons in them are also going to influence the trends that will happen in 2017. Serena Williams’ wedding this year will also greatly affect how wedding fashion this year goes. Personally, I think that the fashion world in 2017 will see a few changes, particularly in losing a few of the key trends from last year such as tight-fitting clothes.
The year 2016 was an excellent year through my experience. I have lost my good share of friends through graduation along the way, but I still have my memories with them along with me. President elect Donald J. Trump was chosen to be the next president of the United States and I’m glad about it, but others may not exactly think positively of. I’ve had my goods and bads in 2016, one devastating subject being the passing of a family member, where I hope to continue on with life with them by my side in this new year of 2017.
2017 is going to be quite a vague year for me as well as many others in the United States, especially with president elect Donald Trump being our next president, which a lot of people don’t agree with. For everyone out there reading, just forget about that conflict and move on. Every year may just be another year off a human-being’s life span, but we can do so much more towards the development of our future society as well as for our future generations to come. For all we know this year, and 3 more years to come, Trump may just be an ordinary president, we will just have to wait and see. I know, and everyone should know, we will have to work through are hardships, and even during times where it isn’t so rough, we will always have something going on in our mind. Overall, I see this coming year to be a year of positives and negatives, just like any other year, except for the fact that we will be moving further into the well being of our society.

It is a new year in the world and it certainly for the moment, is the same me. Everyone around the globe and especially in the United States, is pondering on which team will win sport championships and how will Donald Trump's presidency transpire. In the article titled "Don’t Bother With the Games. Our 2017 Sports Guide Knows All," there are a bunch of wild and bold predictions for the current year in sports. For example it states, "Patriots capture Super Bowl, deflating Cowboys." Also,"Warriors lose to Cavs in N.B.A. finals." I predict that Super Bowl will be between The Giants and The Patriots for a third time in the last decade. It will have the same result as the previous two with Giants defeating the Patriots with a narrow victory. As for basketball I do agree that the finals will be between Warriors and Cavaliers but the Warriors will clutch it out with a win after giving up a 3-1 lead in the best of seven game series last year. In my opinion, Donald Trump will be a strong and capable president in his term. Trump might be a excellent, atrocious or just an average president and that will be determined on how he reacts to each situation he is in. As for now, I hope 2017 will be the best year not only for my family and I, but for all Americans and people around the world.
2017 has begun and the fashion world is on a role. Throughout 2016, sparkly dresses and stripes were in ,but now we see a change in direction. Pantsuits for women and rolled sleeves for men were two of the biggest trends of 2016, but are predicted to die out quickly in 2017. The year 2017 is going to be boxy and big, steering clear of the tight fitting clothes we saw last year.
As the new president elect Donald trump is closer to moving into the white house, the fashion of the first families fashion is becoming more noticed. Their outfits for his inauguration are expected to be from non-american designers, which will end the age of american based designers in the white house.
I personally predict that the fashion world will have a drastic change. I feel like the tight clothing trend can change and cute comfortable clothing will come into style.

2017 is a new year meaning new people and new attitudes. In 2016 we had a difficult election season, one we haven't seen in awhile but now everything has been decided. Our President will be Donald J. Trump. In the article “Predictions For A Trump Presidency” Michael Barbaro claims that Russia hacked the D.N.C and swayed the election for Trump. He complains that Trump keeps saying “move on” but he’s right. Honestly, Trump won “fair and square” I think we have to be open and give him a chance instead of having a temper tantrum so quickly. He interviewed a N.Y.T reporter, Jim Rutenberg and says “the way the incoming president has always behaved is barring reporters, going after them in the most personal terms, which then brings the Twitter mob down upon them” Meanwhile during the election we only had three newspapers in America that correctly predicted the election. Most articles were trying to sway the election towards Hillary. Everyone is saying that “this is an election we’ve never seen before” the only thing is we have! During the Presidential election of Thomas Jefferson versus John Adams Jefferson hired a newspaper editor John Callender to write negative things about Adams. No one ever looks back to this because when Adams won Jefferson and his supporters didn’t overreact. Adams was given a chance and became our President from 1796-1799, then Jefferson came in from 1800-1807. I believe we should do the same for Trump who knows maybe Hillary will be our next President?
I predict that in the year 2017 the obesity rate will strongly rise. This prediction makes me the most uncomfortable. Americans are so used to consuming fatty foods and it’s only getting worse. For example the fast food chain industry has always been very popular in the United states. The adult obesity rate exceeded 35 percent last year. The ten states with the highest obesity rates are located in the south.
The prediction that makes me most comfortable is the gathering of the American citizens coming together as one. As we all know the country is in great fear with our upcoming president. It was by far the most controversial political debate. As he steps into presidency, i believe America will come together as a unit and face the challenges he brings.
In the year 2017 I will turn 16. This is a huge milestone for me. I will be able to get my permit. Turning sixteen brings many responsibilities.

So the New Year is here! 2017 is finally here, and you know what that means! Every year we go through 52 micro-seasons of fashion styles. Meaning that this year we are going to go through that all over again! 52 new season means hundreds of more new styles and ideas around the world. In “What to Watch for in 2017”, it says in Washington pantsuits and oversized clothes are starting to kick in. Meanwhile, in Paris, all the designers are trying to do all they can to get put in the spotlight. I hope that the new styles and trends that this year has to offer are great!
Hopefully, we all change for the better in 2017! I'm looking forward to my birthday and hopefully a new phone! However, something that worries me is that I procrastinate, and that’s horrible. I’m going to improve- hopefully. I also pray that all my loved ones stay healthy and happy and have a great year!

In the article,"Don’t Bother With the Games. Our 2017 Sports Guide Knows All."by Flip Bondyjan is states that the Cubs will win the world series again and the patriots will win the Superbowl. My predictions are the total opposite of these I predict the Red Soxs will win the world series and the Seahawks will win the Superbowl. My prediction for my life and my loved ones' lives is that we will all be happy,healthy and safe.I know this is unrealistic for no one can always be safe,happy,or healthy but this prediction comforts me the most.The prediction that worries me the most is what will happen when the president elect Donald Trump becomes President.In The Run-Up Podcasts episodes Predictions for 2017 it says that some democrats are hoping that the new office caves in on itself which will not happen but democrats want to gain back the office in 2020.Our nation was divided during the election and even now it was/is those for Clinton,those for Trump,and those for the other candidates. We need to be united now and not still be divided with a new President coming into office.Yes the next 4 years will be challenging but with have to stick together.Humans love making predictions because it gives them hope.This can sometimes go awry because the hope for bad things or put to much hope into their predictions that they are dissapointed when it doesn’t come true.
Wow! Congratulations on making it through 2016! Now comes a new year, 2017! 2016 has definitely been a historical year in the books, from Donald Trump being the Presidential elect of the United States of America to the Cleveland Cavs coming back to win the NBA Championship Title from a 3-1 deficit against the Golden State Warriors, and the Cubs ending a 108-year drought. In the article “Don’t Bother With the Games. Our 2017 Sports Guide Knows All.” written by Filip Bondy, states that “At the inauguration, Donald J. Trump promises to make Cleveland Browns great again.” which I think will not happen. Although Donald Trump is portrayed to be a bad character by the media, I think that once he is in office he will realize that he can’t just run his mouth. Trump must clean up his act if he wants to “Make America Great Again”. Actions do speak louder than words and he is a perfect example of that. Donald could have a shot at reducing the amount of national debt that the country faces today. Plus having a new era of Republican control everything will be in favor of Donald Trump. This Republican control will definitely change Obama policies, such as Obama Care. As for fashion, culture, and arts, that is ever changing, so I cannot really predict what will happen in that department. The only prediction I am sure of though is that the Cleveland Cavaliers will win the NBA Title again if the team stays healthy. As for my family and I, this summer will be one to remember.
One prediction that I have for the presidency is that he will not be able to deport all the immigrants in the United States. The mass deportation will impact on the U.S. economy. Majority of immigrants actually pay taxes that help the United States. The second prediction for the presidency is that Trump may start a trade war with China and Mexico. Even though, we are at peace with them, I believe that he can fuel the fire in both countries which could backfire on us. According to New York Times in the article, “Predictions for a Trump Presidency” in the Podcast, one of the people that were being interviewed said that Trump might start a trade war because his mind believes that countries like Mexico and China are making the U.S. not shine to its potential. He believes he has to make America again because he surrounds with people that also have the same mindset as him. He will affect the world and the U.S. by making the U.S. have enemies and possible trade wars which will affect America greatly instead of helping it flourish.
"Happy New Year!", new year. Wow, 2017. This year has just begun and the endless thoughts on what it is to bring is indescrible. The new oppurtunites, the second chances, the new people, the new goals, but above all---the new president. It is so unreal to believe that Barack Obama will no longer be with us and that on the contrary, we will have a man whose been percieved as the 'bad guy' through the presses eyes. In the article, "Predictions for a Trump Presidency," by Michael Barbaro, exclaims how it will be a tough year on the media to not make it seem as if they are the enemies. But how will they manage to do such things with a president whose actions speak louder than any words they could possibly write. How will he run this country? Will he be able to determine what is best for his country? Will he give people a say, or just completely disregard them?
I strongly believe that Donald Trump, is the worst thing that could have occured for America. That throughout this year his campaign, 'Make America Great Again,' will result in the complete opposite. It is my prediction, that due to his win, The United States, will plumet.That he will anger the wrong people with his vulgar and innappropriate words. In addition, that he won't ask for the right guidance. Also, that his racism will lead our country to be more divided that it already is. Next, I feel that his actions will be the next president to get asasinated. Lastly, that he will mislead and cause harm to us all.

It is a new year and barely anything has changed in my life. I'll continue to have a strong bond with my dad and grandfather. My mom and I will continue arguing over little things, but like always we will make up one minute after the argument. My brother and I will continue arguing with each other, but we will always support each other. I'll continue to talk to my grandmother. Most importantly, I will not stop making making mistakes, I can't help it! One prediction that worries is me is I won't be able to let go of my past. Besides all that, I'm really eager to learn what the new year has in stored for me.
2017. The beginning of a new year and new changes. We aren’t exactly sure what awaits our future, but that doesn’t necessarily stop us from thinking about it. Based on the article I read, “What to Watch for in Fashion in 2017”, Washington and Paris are ringing in the new year with new fashion statements, both completely different from each other. Washington seems to be going for European styled clothes as well as over-sized suits, while Paris is having a rival between two designers who are both fighting for the spotlight in hope of winning the people of Paris over with their bold and stylish clothes. In addition to this, Raf Simons has a new vision for runways. He wants to make them more upbeat and entertaining by letting both male and female walk the cat walk at the same time. This will allow the audience to view the clothes from two different people with two completely different body shapes.
Since it is the start of a new year, I would love to learn how to cope with my anxiety, which is has honestly been my goal for the past two years. I would make myself sick, cry myself to sleep, and try to find way to avoid my problems, hoping that they wouldn’t come back, but they came back anyway. I’m hoping that I will be able to build my confidence up and learn to face my problems instead of running away from them. It’s only going to make things worse for me in the future, which will make me more reserved and less outgoing.

2017 is here and people have already made predictions about it. Since Republicans control all three branches of the government “for the first time since 2006”, some predict that they will cause the downfall of the U.S. Others predict the opposite, they think Trump will bring the country and its people closer together. I rarely predict events because like Mr. Barbaro stated predictions “are hard— even hazardous.” and most of the time your prediction is wrong. Right now, the U.S. is divided because people are going at each other's throats about Trump and don’t care about the aftermath and I predict that this will continue for quite some time.
Since republicans have control over all three branches it “will leave them with a splendid opportunity for success.”, so there’s no doubt that they’ll have laws that will change the U.S. in the upcoming year. Whether these new laws will draw the country closer together, or divide it even further is completely unpredictable, but no matter what these new laws do to the country, I predict that the people will, in the end, come together to make it work. I hope that the people of the U.S. will see that standing with each other is the best way to keep the country together. There is a treacherous tear in the country, and many are blind to it, but I predict that in the upcoming year the people of the U.S. will realize this and buy a sewing kit to fix it. I predict that the country will beat outside threats, once they beat the inside threats first.

2017. 365 days for change on Earth. Most articles including "What Are Your Predictions for 2017" and "What to Watch for in Fashion in 2017" state Trump's family will be important this year. From Republicans having government control to being part of popular fashion, their family will be very relevant. Because many people fear discrimination in 2017, I want this year to be a step forward. A step away from racism, hate crimes, and mass shootings. And a push into justice for all races, sexualities and genders. I think developing technology will bring popular communication ways. I’m not too sure what to expect for myself in 2017. I’ll do my best in school, finish 9th grade, and turn 15. I have many goals as well. I want to make friends, read books that excite me, take up new hobbies, and discover new music. These goals both worry and comfort me. It’s nice to know what’s possible in 2017, but it’s worrisome to know some might not happen. Barbaro states how predictions “are hard—even hazardous.” I agree with his claim, because it’s hard to create plans for a whole year. And I agree that they're hazardous. Yes, you'll have dreams for the year. Yes, you should work towards goals. No, you shouldn't be so focused on intents that you miss all new experiences. So, 365 days; a pristine page ready to be written on. I have high hopes that my story will include a healthy family, steady relationships and happiness. 365 days, and hopefully each will add something positive to 2017’s story.
With a computer Luddite as president and with the emerging importance of effectively dealing with the inevitable cyberwarfare we face, I think the country will be in real jeopardy very soon. AI is moving at mach speed right now and there will be winners and losers.
In terms of technology the past few years have been major. So it’s easy to assume something similar will happen in 2017 and years to come. Technology has come to affect almost everything. There are political parties being formed on websites like reddit, and politicians now have a new way to reach the masses. This really became clear into the 2016 election and moving forward, considering Donald Trump’s love of twitter. Futurists like Amy Webb make predictions based on current trends in technology. Webb walks about a bizarre future with self-driving Ubers that will harvest and deliver produce. The writer of the article then goes on to talk about the economic downfalls of such a system. Stating that thousands of farmers and truck drivers would lose their jobs and have nowhere else to go. The writer then talks about possible anti-tech political parties that could arise if such technological measures were implemented. However, it’s hard to predict where the future will take us or what technologies will be coming our way. All we can do it is hope the future the future is bright and all the gadgets that come with it will be helpful and innovative.
As the new year is here many things will change. We don't know what the new year will bring. As Michael Barbaro stated ' we did not see that coming.' In the new year we are expected to see advances in sports, technology, food, and fashion. As humans we try to predict what will happen but nothing ever goes the way we want it to.We just have to accept what happens and move on. Predicting something usually ends in disappointment or anger. Donald J. Trumps win surprised many but he might be able to help our country a little bit. In 2017 I hope good things will happen to my family and I. I hope everyone has a good year. This year I had surgery and I hope the results are good. I guess we will just have to wait and see.
Part I
From food to fashion and politics to personal experiences, 2017 is going to be a very diverse and evolutionary year. Although I do not like to discuss politics, it's been an unavoidable topic hence the controversial president-elect, Donald Trump.I can say that I do not agree with his racist, sexist, and unfathomable views and "goals" to "make America great again", and I am not looking forward to seeing what he has planned.Aside from politics in 2017, I am looking forward to making new memories and experiences with the people I care about.I can't wait to have more laughs and good times with my best friends.I am also very excited to go to Lebanon to visit my family during the summer.Another important experience I am looking forward to in 2017 is completing my first year of high school.
2016 was a very revolutionary year for breaking fashion standards and many different food crazes, such as guacamole.It is predicted that in 2017 some of the new food crazes will be Sorghum, egg yolks, French, Filipino, and smoked food, whey, cannabis, teff, spirulina, and delivery-only restaurants.I am looking forward to all of the new dishes that might become the biggest food craze of 2017.Another topic that’s popularity is based on public opinion is fashion trends.Fashion is not my strong spot, but I am eager to see the latest fad going on.For instance, it is predicted that 2017 fashion will have a more cultural aspect, as well as arising sportswear.

2017 has just begun, so it is a bit difficult to make good predictions about the coming year. I think Donald Trump's presidency will be the cause a big change in America, but I'm not sure if it will be in a positive or a negative way. Donald Trump seems to have numerous ideas on how he will do his job as the president of the United States, and it seems like he is ready to carry out all of his ideas as soon as he's in office. I expect a lot change to come very soon after Donald Trump becomes the president of the United States. I also believe that 2017 will be a successful year full of technological advancements. Since a new president will be coming into power there is a chance that more time and research will be dedicated to developing more useful machines and technologies. In the article "For Better or Worse: New Books Forecast the Next Technologies", Amy Webb talks about how she imagines a near future of agriculture in which self-driving machines will tend to the crops and eventually take the jobs of farmers. If what Amy Webb predicts actually happens, then Donald Trump will need to put his focus on creating more jobs for all of the people who lost their jobs to machines. As for predictions about my personal life and about my family, I can't really think of much. Instead of making predictions about what will happen to me this year I would prefer to set goals for myself and work hard to meet them.
Its the beginning of a new year and a time for changes. Based on an article “What to Watch for in Fashion in 2017” I can say that i think that there is going to be a new trend in Washington and Paris. As stated "In Washington, we are entering the era of the boxy, oversize suit, the big knot, the taped-together tie, and, maybe, European brands".So based on this they are going to learn the European culture and start wearing new European looks. In Paris they are going to do the same thing and take some looks from the Italian culture. As stated "known for combining Savile Row tailoring and Italian style, as well as for his fondness of red socks from Gammarelli". Cultural diffusion is playing a role in new trends in the fashion world and allowing everyone to learn new things about different areas
When it comes to my life and my loved one's I hope that 2017 treats us right. That it puts us on the right path full of happiness. I hope that any dreams we have come true. I hope we all are healthy and get to create many more memories together. I hope that there is peace in this world that we live in. I just really hope that 2017 is the start of something great for us and the end of something amazing

2016 was a very tumultuous year, and 2017 has finally arrived. 2017 comes in with great promise and hope. 2016 had its ups and downs and its great and sad moments. As for me, 2016 was a year of transition as i graduated middle schools and went on to high school.
My outlook for 2017 is that it will be a very promising year with lots of hope for my family and I, and for the era of Republican control as our new president, Donald J. Trump is about to take control. I believe that the this era of Republican control will be a very positive era for the United States. I would say that Donald J. Trump is going to replace the current health care, which is Obama-care, with a health care of his own. Other than that,I believe that it will be very hard to predict what the outcomes will be with Donald J. Trump as our president for the next four years. We can always hope for the best of our government through out this year in leading the United States to greatness.
Other than politics, I hope for a very healthy and prosperous year for my family and I. As we all begin a new chapter in our lives, I hope for God's protection over all of us. I believe that this will be a great healthy and happy year for every single one of us. Through out 2017, through any of the challenges we may face, it is my hope that all will be well for my family and I. I hope for all the best to come from 2017 and the all the years to come.

With 2017 being the New Year, everyone has a New Year's Resolution that they would like to achieve. For some, their New Year's Resolution consists of their favorite sports team winning the Super Bowl, NBA Finals, or World Cup, even if you're a Cleveland Browns fan. In the following article "Don’t Bother With the Games. Our 2017 Sports Guide Knows All," written by Filip Bondy, exclaims what sports events and shocks took place during 2016, in a humorous way. To begin, the passage states, "At inauguration, Donald J. Trump promises to make Cleveland Browns great again." Donald Trump has proclaimed many goals he would like to achieve during his presidency, on the contrary, most not being true, just like making the Cleveland Browns "great again". However, we don't exactly know what he will be doing, but people do believe in him as he received the most votes. Continuously, I predict that 2017 will be full of many sports thrills that will be as unexpected as an economist becoming president of the United States.
365 days of new opportunities, decisions, and goals to be fulfilled throughout the New Year. As for myself, I wish to be more successful and forget the past. I do believe the only way a person's wishes and predictions follow through is if they push forward to achieve them. For my loved ones, I believe 2017 will be another successful, happy, and healthy year. Passing Freshmen year of High School will be an immense milestone and I hope 2017 is an amazing year for everyone.

I loathe President Elect Donald Trump. I dislike his policies, morals, and him as a person in general. I predict that he is going to lead a catastrophic presidency. It baffles me how a person can think it's a good idea to elect a businessman man reality star as the leader of one of the most powerful nations in the world. A lot of people voted for Trump because they thought Clinton was "crooked," but Trump is a businessman, and that is about as crooked as it gets. The effect that I think Trump is going to have on the country, has already began: citizens being ashamed to be an American. Personally, I feel embarrassed to be an American. It's impossible to predict the future, but even if Trump carries out an amazing term (which will never happen), I will never recover from the fact that I live in a country where I am surrounded by people who CHOSE to have that monstrous person as a leader after that horrifically disgusting campaign he has lead. It caused me to lose faith in America as a whole. Self pride and patriotism are very important key aspects a civilization should have, and lacking it shows through to the rest of the world. Trump's presidency will affect the world because how can other countries respect a country whose own citizens can’t even respect it? The only thing that gives me hope, is knowing that the majority of America didn’t vote for that pervert.
As we have just come into the new year, our lives have altered with the new changes that are happening all around us . With our new president elect, Donald Trump, our country will face many obstacles . I think that the presidency of Trump will be much different than any others in the past . I do believe that he is going to keep the promises he made to shape our country into a better place, although we do not know for sure if that will be the case . With an unpredictable leader left with the responsibility of our country in his hands , we do not know our fate for the next four years . I don't know if Republican control will affect our nation as much as people think it will , but as the year goes on I definitely think that people will realize that this presidency will be much different than Obama's . All in all , nobody knows what 2017 has in store for us with our new leader but we can all hope for the best . I am curious and excited to see the many new things that will happen this year , and I hope that our country remains well and safe .
With the new year 2017, brings many other new things, including new fashion trends. According to the article "What to Watch for in Fashion in 21017", "...Raf Simons, makes his debut at Calvin Klein in New York Fashion Week in February, with a promise of shaking up the whole new system." Simons plans to have a dual men's and women's wear show and have them both walk the runway at this year's NYFW. This is a very bug step for society since so many things are currently becoming gender neutral, this wouldn't be such a surprising thing to happen this year. There are also predictions of more cultural actions off the runway. For example, there are going to more fashion exhibitions. According to the article, "In February, in the middle of fashion month, Kensington Palace in London will host 'Diana: Her Fashion Story,' a collection of garments worn by the princess in the 1980s and '90s." There are also going to be many other exhibitions in several museums around the world dedicated to designers. These are only a couple of the major changes predicted to happen in the upcoming year. However, they are still only predictions. No one knows exactly what this year has ins store for everybody, but I hope it brings everyone peace, love, and happiness.
According to the article, “Don’t Bother with The Games, Our Sport Guide Knows All” states how they predict that the Warriors will lose to the Cavaliers. What I predict is going to happen in the finals is that the Cavaliers are going to take the championship because they are the number on in the conference. I predict that it is going to be the same unless one of the uprising teams gets a noteworthy player that can aid the team to the finals and successfully win. As for my life I am going to still be the same me. I am going to do my best to excel in all of my classes and continue to be a hardworking student. But when it comes to family I hope my sister can make it to med school and pursue her dreams. I also hope my parents can remain healthy and successful in their individual endeavors.
2017 is a year that is very promising, especially when it comes to the following areas. “What to watch for in fashion in 2017”, by Vanessa F. touches upon various trends for the new year. It states that pantsuits for women are not in, although Raf Simons new collection for Calvin Klein is bound to be a hit. Kylie Jenner is also one of those who has made an impression on trends in 2016 and will continue doing so throughout 2017. As Ms. Paton stated in “Kylie Jenner and the year of drop”, Kylie has managed to develop an empire, she created such a thrill with her lip kits, this mostly due to the smart way she advertises through social media platforms. Many have picked up on her selling tricks and have begun to use them in their own selling ventures. While on the topic of a guilty pleasure, such as shopping, I will move on to another one; otherwise known as traveling. The article,“Want hopeful signs from 2016? Look to some of its aggravations”, written by Ron Lieber states that you may be eligible to receive a full refund if your airline happens to fumble with your luggage. If the airline you're flying with, loses your luggage for more than 15 hours you are guaranteed your money back as of July 2017. In addition, your travels may just get a little bit brighter, as Hertz Rental Car has hired a new CEO for 2017. Hopefully, lowering its ridiculous prices and improving the experience. Overall, I wish everyone happy travels, exciting shopping trips, and fashionable decisions for 2017!
I have many predictions for 2017, and hoping Donald Trump will make a difference in America is definitely one of them. He has many ideas such as the Trump Tower, building a wall between Mexico and America and stopping immigration from spreading in our country. One goal in which I think would be very hard to accomplish. He said "Let's make America great again", I think to myself "yes there are many problems in America, but I believe it's what makes our country so great that it's destroying itself". Our country is about freedom and choosing to do whatever you want to do or be without being judged, and making that wall would make it very hard for people of other races to feel that way as people already in the country do. I just hope in the end that he makes really good decisions and does right by our country.
Putting aside the politics, and thinking of other people outside of the white house. I hope that starvation within people in Africa stop and that we would do anything in our power to help them. I hope that they would upgrade modern medication to help incurable diseases. I hope that the animals at risk of extinction would be left alone in peace and that we can help the ones left to survive. I hope that the people in poverty can get food, water, clothes and a place to live. In overall I hope that 2017 will be a great year for many people in America and for many people across the world with many problems that need to be faced, and those are my predictions for 2017.

In the year 2016 was full of surprises from politics to sports. After I read the article "Don't bother with the games. Our 2017 sports guide knows all", I have made my own predictions based on the articles predictions. In the article, they predict the Patriots beating the Cowboys in the Super Bowl. I do agree that the Patriots will be in the Super Bowl, but they will come up short against the New York Giants for the third time. This article predicts Louisville to win the N.C.A.A. championship but i have different thoughts. I believe that that Notre Dame will beat the reigning champs, Villanova in the championship. The Chicago Bulls will turn their whole season around and take an NBA title. In May, Classic Empire will win the Kentucky Derby as the heavy favorite. Finally, the New York Yankees will win the World Series. 2017 will be a very exciting year because anything can happen.
2017 will begin with the inauguration of Donald Trump, something it seems no one could have predicted. Mr. Trump is well recognized on both sides as a controversial candidate. He is constantly being scrutinized by the media, though not without reason, as Mr. Rutenberg comments in the political podcast The Run-Up how Trump uses false information to support his positions, and antagonizes those who fact-check him. Few believed Trump capable of winning the election because of his blunt and blatantly sexist, racist, and generally offensive comments, along with his complete lack of experience in government and the extremely vague nature of his policies. And yet here we are. We can all attest to Michael Barbaro’s remark in the article Predictions for a Trump Presidency that our current circumstances are certainly something “we did not predict a year ago.” I fear for the future of our country, but I predict and hope that 2017 will surprise us, as Trump’s appointment did. It’s fair to say that 2017 will certainly bring about for great change in this country. Hopefully it is for the better.
In the world of fashion, things are constantly changing, new trends everyday, but how can one keep up. Vanessa Friedman’s article, “What to Watch for in Fashion in 2017” tells us what to expect this year but what does it mean for the future of fashion. Washington, for instance, is heading towards new looks considering Trump’s presidency kicking into gear. It’s a new era with new ideas such as Raf Simons’ plans to do by shaking things up with a dual men’s and women’s wear show and Ms. Kawakubo’s work which focuses less on beauty than on the question of what clothing is giving a new meaning to the concept of wearable art. Predictions can range anywhere from good to bad and although it can be “hazardous” making them can push the limits to think further ahead and strive for what we wish to see. What I look forward to this year is getting through my first year of high school with limited amount of obstacles, my quinceanera, and graduating from my dance studio to continue to achieve my dream of a performer and mentor.
The first of my predictions is that it will be a hard time for America adjusting to the president elect Donald Trump because the nation is divided. I think he is going to continue with his plan that he set out for the campaign and he will secure the borders also replace Obamacare with health savings accounts.
Second I hope my friends and family great health, all of luck and let your dreams come true. Have a fun year and enjoy what you do.
Third I am looking forward to having a lot of fun this year in high school. I am looking forward to helping my old school with there sports program and looking forward to help my Father coach a flag football team
Forth My predictions
I think the Cowboys will beat the Chiefs in the Superbowl
I think the Rangers will beat the Kings in the Stanley Cup
I think the Mets will beat the Indians in the World Series
I think Alabama will beat Clemson in the National Championship Game
I think the Warriors will beat the Cavaliers in the NBA Finals

In the article that I just read, “Don’t Bother With the Games. Our 2017 Sports Guide Knows All”, it talks about, sports and what they predict will happen, sometimes even the weirdest predictions. For example it states in the article, “ At inauguration, Donald J. Trump promises to make Cleveland Browns great again.” Speaking of Donald Trump, he is about to get inaugurated and, honestly I don’t think that he will make a bad president. He may not have any political knowledge or background, but he sure does have strategy. He also knows how to make money so that will hopefully help with the national debt. Republicans now control the House of Representative, the Congress, and The White House, and that can either really help our nation or completely destroy it, because if Trump wants to pass a not so smart law, the congress will most likely agree with it and that won’t be good for our country. The only predictions that I have for 2017 is that the NBA Finals is going to be the Thunder vs. the Cavs and the superbowl is going to be the Giants vs. Raiders. None of my predictions worry me because I believe in my teams and I know that they will make it to the Superbowl/Finals.Im most looking forward for the summer this year, because I have many things planned for the summer.
2016 was a year with lots of new technology, but 2017 is finally here with much more. With Uber taking over transportation,social media uniting the whole world, and Donald Trump becoming president, 2017 definitely has something in store for the future. According to an article named For Better or Worse: New Books Forecast the Next Technologies, Amy Webb refers to Uber as an example of transformational technology. In the near future, I believe technology will advance further where things like Uber and drones will become more popular. Furthermore, social media has become a popular way to connect with friends, family, and new people. I know i sometimes rely on it to catch up with important news and updates. In 2017, I presume social media will continue to be used whether it’s Instagram Snapchat, or even Twitter. Additionally, Donald Trump has just won the 2016 presidential election. To continue with social media, Donald Trump posted on twitter throughout the whole campaign gaining the attention of younger audience. Also, “Russia hacked the Democratic National Committee”, as said in the article Predictions for a Trump Presidency. Taking into consideration that Russia hacked the United States, it seems technology not only has advanced, but it will advance a lot more. In conclusion, I predict 2017 will be filled with technological advancements.
As the new year rolls around, we remember the year with a shocking presidential election, an ever-changing food trend, and daily innovations in the field of technology. But now the year has ended and we look towards what is to come. Self-driving cars, robotic surgeons, and virtual reality; all once only a fictional depiction in books or movies has now become a reality. Every year that passes the more we rely on advancements in technology to make our lives simpler. The article, “For Better or Worse: New Books Forecast the Next Technologies”, foretells what innovations and changes shall rise and what old technologies shall stick around or fall.
For example the recent transformative company Uber who has rocked the world of transportation, is predicted to remain and even grow. “For Better or Worse” had told of the massive impact this company had made on the economy and the whole industry itself. Many local cab and taxi corporations now fear being put out of work by an easier more convenient method. In “Whiplash” a book written about the forth coming of technological change that is more centralized over adding not eliminating. Unparalleled by any these rising companies will pave the way to the future of technology.

It is a new year and isn't it amazing that we made it to 2017? I am so enthusiastic for the upcoming year and what it shall bring for our fashion empire. Last year was full of Kylie Jenner lip kits and all the rage of accessories like chokers and a velvet fabric clothing and so much more. This year could not be more full of excitement of the new evolution that we will create in the fashion industry, carrying out trends throughout billions of people. I believe this year the fashion industry will exceed in expressing itself through aspects such as culture and art. Certainly, throughout the years fashion has broadened its horizons in numerous ways. It has definitely expanded it's mind to different genders and opening up to different cultures, allowing fashion to become an art form more than just the act of wearing clothes. Brands such as Gucci and Louis Vuitton have expanded so much that it's commonly worn in different countries. These worldwide brands have even expanded their diversity of models also who showcase their clothing lines. So in conclusion I think fashion can only expand from now on, and it is definitely at its peak. I believe the vision of 2017 fashion trends is more leaning over to a casual yet Professional looks, hence the future is yet to still see and I am extremely excited for what 2017 has to bring in the fashion department.
I have a feeling that 2017 is going to be a bumpy ride for everyone. We don't know what the future will hold, but many people think that it will not be good and some think it will be a new beginning. Between the advances in technology and events that will be carried over from last year shape the future. Many people live in immense fear of the soon to be president, Donald J. Trump. Based on the claims he made during his run for president I don't think this year is going to go smoothly. But there is some good new, the world around us is evolving and many things can change with new inventions and new discoveries in science.
I believe that the United States will begin to change as a country in 2017. Currently tensions are high politically in this country because of the election; more so now that it has been released that Russia interfered. Even if Donald Trump still is inaugurated, there will be ongoing protests throughout the year. There will also be controversy because the republicans currently have a monopoly on the government. This also means that Republicans will have very little in their way of passing laws. Some things that may be jeopardized are abortions and gay marriage. Democrats as a party may be infuriated by this majority, and so tensions will rise in the White House. Overall, in 2017 there will be many bills passed and some resentment by Democrats.
It’s finally 2017. This means a fresh start or like everyone says “New Year, New Me”. It’s more like “New Year , New Trend”. Everyone is always finding something new to do or wear . Sometimes the trends stick and are carried onto the next year and sometimes they last at most a week. What I do know for a fact is that Kylie Jenner’s products will be joining us in 2017. “Ms.Jenner is part of à growing cohort of both individual and brands that have embraced the sales strategy”, as Elizabeth Payton says in Kylie Jenner and the Year of the Drop. Kylie has become super popular due to her recent Kylie Lip Kit, Kyshadow, and Kyliner lines. I predict Kylie will only come up with better ideas on improving her lines. I can see Kylie stores popping everywhere in 2017. She may be joining us in the new year but her lip challenge certainly will not.
Predictions. As we enter the new year, we make our own predictions on what is going to happen involving fashion, sports, and politics. I chose to do my student opinion on sports just because that is what interests me the most. After reading the article, “Don’t Bother With the Games. Our 2017 Sports Guide Knowns All,” I found some predictions that I don’t agree with and one that I do agree with. Starting in January, the author of the article predicts that the women’s national soccer team will finally be paid the same amount of money as the men’s team. This had been circulating around in April and I think they are finally going to make a deal. According to the author of the article, “Don’t Bother With the Games. Our 2017 Sports Guide Knowns All,” the Patriots will defeat the Cowboys in the Super Bowl, and I don't agree with that. My bet is on the Pittsburgh Steelers defeating the Green Bay Packers. Even though the Steelers have a difficult path to the Super Bowl, they have a strong roster and they have a lot of momentum going into the postseason. Skipping over to June, I don’t think Barcelona is going to lose the Champions League title. I predict that they are going to win by defeating Manchester City.
With a new year and a fresh start in a new chapter in many people's lives we can all modify our old selves. Our predictions on what can or will happen this 2017 with our future, family, friends, etc. can turn out to surprise us when the time comes. As I read "Don't Bother With the Games. Our 2017 Sports Guide Knows All.", I also had predictions on what will happen this year particularly in sports, especially in one specific sport-basketball. As of right now, two major NBA teams are rising above all with fantastic wins advantaging them. These two rivalry teams are known as the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers. I predict that these two magnificent teams from opposite conferences will again, like last year rise above all and continue onto the NBA finals to versus each other in 7 games until a winner is determined. Yet this year I predict a different winner will be crowned. According to the article I read, in June during NBA finals the Cavaliers will again take the win, but I refuse to predict that the Cavaliers will win, I believe and have a feeling that the Warriors will take a big win this year back home to Oakland as champions. The Warriors have been a great team averaging as many points as 115 points per game. My heart really believes that they will win this year's championship. All in all, my predictions may not be right, but they are just to hypothesize my thoughts before the events happen.
Hopefully, this 2017 will be the Warriors year to shine and take that NBA Championship trophy home!
For 2017 I hope to see the nation improve dramatically , technology to advance and to make my family proud. Donald Trump just recently won the 2016 presidential election .I believe this will cause good and bad effects in 2017. According to the the article “Republicans stonewalled Obama: Now the Ball is in their Court “ it states, “Republicans are poised to complete their slow but steady climb back to power as they seize control of the House, Senate and the White House for the first time since 2006.” I don’t know everything there is to know about politics , but I know this proves that this year there will be much controversy and arguments over big political decisions and a lot of negative feedback targeting Donald Trump.
It is obvious that our technology will also continue to advance , pretty soon there will be cellphones bigger than the palm of your hand. Almost everything will probably advance from the latest windows software to even the type of car you're driving. The possibilities are endless.
in 2017 the issues that matter the most will become worse , poverty and world hunger will worsen .Different ecosystems will collapse and terrorism will continue.There are many issues that we dont notice.
I know that the environment will continue to worsen because of our carelessness , using fossil fuels that pollute the environment and taking nature's resources for granted Terrorist will continue to threaten the united states with threats and the conflict in Syria will continue.
It’s a new year which means that things change. When things change it can be hard for people to adjust to the new changes. One of the biggest changes that i personally feel will be hard for people to adjust to is our new president elect Donald Trump. Everyone has their opinions about this specific topic. Some people predict that he will make our country better and help everyone, and others think that he isn't the best president elect we’ve had so far. There are some very strong opinions about this. Personally i predict that this year will bring many surprises, some good and some bad. There are many things that i look forward to this year, one being turning 15 years old and finishing my freshman year with great grades another is learning many things i never knew before. The prediction that worries me the most is anything that involves politics because everyone always has their opinions about it, and the prediction that comforts me the most is that my family and friends will be healthy and safe. I hope that everyone that i love will be with me and that we always make great and fun memories.
My prediction about Trump’s presidency is that it will be an extremely bumpy ride.As our country becomes more accepting of different people,I believe that Trump will try to enforce laws that don’t comply with our time period.Unfortunately, since Republicans have also taken control over Congress, I think that he will have an easier time doing so.I also strongly believe that people won’t let their voices remain unheard but will speak louder.In the podcast, Michael Barbaro asks about Clinton, “What’s her role in the future of the Democratic Party?The answer he receives is, “I think people, particularly women, will be looking to her to do something to show that ... after this humiliation ... she will pick herself up ... will fulfill that need.”I agree because I don’t think that she will take any major action.Nevertheless,I can imagine her being a symbol for how far we have come and will give people hope.I predict that US relations with other countries will become more hostile.Despite finally trying to communicate with Cuba, I feel that Trump will try to intensify American power in other countries, especially in the Middle East. In the podcast, they say, “Companies will be more reluctant to invest.” I agree because I think that there will be at least one recession.That is because the last time Republicans had full control over the White House and Congress, the Great Depression occurred.Lastly, I believe that Trump will alter Obamacare so that healthcare prices rise tremendously.
2016 is over, which fills many with relief, but 2017 is going to be an assortment of unpredictable events. With only 20 days left until our new president takes over, many people are anxious to see what exactly will happen. This is the first time that we are going to have a president with no experience in politics. Because of this, it is "hard — even hazardous,” to predict what changes he will actually make. We know that there will be a huge shift in the Supreme Court, which may take away some of the important changes that Obama has made. I feel like the changes that Obama made took our nation a step forward, and I worry that Trump will make us step back. In the area of art, I think that perhaps there will be a bridge between art and technology. Technology, as well as art, has had a very important impact on everyone. With this new year, I believe that the two will combine in a very advanced masterpiece. What I can hope for the most is for me to have a great year with my family, my new friends, and my new school. If I'm lucky, 2017 will be a year to remember, in a good way.
One prediction that I have for the presidency is that he will not be able to deport all the immigrants out of the United States. The mass deportation will impact on the U.S. economy. Majority of immigrants actually pay taxes that help the United States. The second prediction I have for the presidency is that Trump may start a trade war with China and Mexico. Even though, we are at peace with them, I believe that he can fuel the fire in both countries which could backfire on us. According to New York Times in the article, “Predictions for a Trump Presidency” in the Podcast, Peter Goodman, who is a global economic reporter said that Trump might start a trade war because in his mind, he believes that countries like Mexico and China are making the U.S. not shine to its potential. He believes he has to make America great again because he surrounds himself with people that also have the same mindset as him. He will affect the world and the U.S. by making the U.S. make enemies and possibly a trade war which will affect America greatly instead of helping it flourish.
2016 is coming to an end and many people already have various outlooks on what is to take place in 2017. In the year 2017 I am certain that technology, social media, and pop culture will continue to evolve and whether you voted for Trump or not one thing is certain and that is with our newly elected president things are going to change drastically. I am curious to see if what president Trump campaigned about is going to transpire. Trumps ideas are certainly not proposals that we are used to since it was a different party in control of the White House for the last 2 terms, but the last time the Republicans controlled the White House was in 2006 and with the democrats leaving I am interested to see and learn how the Republican party will control the White House. Aside from politics, growing up the only sport I was genuinely interested in was basketball. Every year there is a great deal of attention towards basketball namely the NBA. My most favored team is the New York Knicks and though I am a supporter of the team, I don’t believe the team will get very far even with their more recent team changes. As a general follower of the NBA I admit to believing the Cavaliers heading into the 2017 NBA finals, they have been a very strong and dominant team for a while in the league and are top contenders for a spot in the finals. 2016 was a year full of surprises and as it comes to an end new resolutions are being made. 2016 was a good year but let’s see if we can make 2017 a great year.
Wow, It's 2017 already! 2016 flew by so quickly, yet it left us with many surprises. As we bid farewell to 2016, many of us are preparing for 2017. The article "Republicans Stonewalled Obama Now the Ball is In Their Court" gives us a perfect idea of the type of preparation going on. The article states "Republicans... climb back to power as they seize control of the House, Senate and the White House for the first time since 2006." In other words, the country is not only getting ready for the start of the new year, but also for the start of the next 4 years. Our current President, is a Democrat. As a result, the majority of government positions are also held by democrats. Now, Trump, the President-Elect, is part the Republican Party. This means that there will be a major shift in the government and possibly in the way it operates. The article also states,"Tensions could arise between House and Senate..." The government officials, however, are not the only ones who are anxiously getting ready for 2017. Average citizens are eager to see what the new President will do to Obama's current policies, especially the Affordable Care Act. My family and I are also preparing for the events of 2017. My predictions for us are that we will go on with our daily routines and habits. I'll get up, go to school, come back home and do my homework. By the time I finish, my dad will be home. We'll all eat dinner and spend time together. I hope it stays the same way and we remain happy and content.
-Donald Trump being our president is not such a bad thing because he is not necessarily saying he doesn't like foreign people. He is saying that he does not want undocumented people to the united states. They are getting paid for jobs they should not be getting paid for. He wants immigrants to come documented and legal.
- Republicans want a smaller government. They believe in doing things faster. They want as little government as possible.
- I predict that this year will be a year of happiness and prosperity

As stated in the article “With Shifts in National Mood Comes Shifts in Words We Use, Study Suggests” recently there has been a linguistic positivity bias over the years. However, my prediction for 2017 is that it will be more negative. Donald Trump becoming president and Republicans taking control of the government has divided America. While some people are very happy about this, there are others who feel very negatively. This will probably cause arguments and an overall more negative atmosphere.
2016 was a prediction busting year. It started with the death of a gorilla, and ended with the most unexpected thing which was Donald J. Trump winning the United states presidency. In 2017, half of the country is scared of President Trump and other are happy he made it to the white house. In my opinion, I couldn't be happier that Trump won the white house because this country has bent a knee to every other country for to long, my hope is that Trump will finally put his foot down. In "The Run-Up," Amy Chozick reports that the Democrats still in Congress will try their hardest to not allow any bills to pass. I predict that their efforts will be for nothing, and if they do appose the bills, they will only be putting the country at risk. Throughout Trump's entire campaign, he has talked about helping all Americans, and I believe the bills he tries to pass will help every american. I predict his bills will be pass because the control the republicans have.
In another part of "The Run-Up," Jim Rutenberg talks about how Trump is going to start a "trade war" between other countries. I predict that this title that we've given trump's economical plan, trade war, is false and misleading. I predict a stronger and more vibrate economy. Jobs will be returning to the U.S. in a major way along with a huge amount of money for the U.S. 2017 will be a great year, and we can shine under our knew president!

As much as I am excited for the new journey,I'm scared of what I might find ahead.As quoted,“Republicans are about to seize control of the House,Senate and the White House for the first time since 2006.”Would you have ever predicted that to happen before?Same deal with how the Russians were able to hack our Democratic National Committee.It’s crazy how this was all able to happen to us.So we need to learn from our mistakes,and become stronger and wiser together.So with Trump being the president-elect all I can say is I hope for the best.We don’t know what he’ll might do,but hopefully it’s for the better.We need to at least give him a chance to show us who he really is.
Now with 2017 starting everyone fresh,many trends are breaking through.The latest fashion trends are certainly influenced by the 90’s pop style.From bomber jackets to flare jeans,we are definitely hitting rewind.Other than that,America is really starting to hit on tastes from all around the world!We have such a diverse variety of foods and culture that makes America unique.Now,how’s our technology going to advance this year?I can’t imagine how a new Iphone might look like.How could they possibly keep advancing it?It blows my mind!
Finally,to be straightforward with you I can’t make a prediction of how I want my year to go.I want to see what the year holds for me.I know it’s not going to be a perfect,smooth road,but it’s exciting when there's a couple of speed bumps.So buckle up and enjoy the ride.

My predication for 2017 include Donald Trump, sports, and social media.Donald Trump President of 2017, this is a big change to America because Trump isn't the best choice. His racism is a big problem, also including feminism and taxes. People thought we were/are doomed. I predict that even though he is not the best president choice, he will improve america somewhat. In addition, sports is a huge deal in this country. I predict the green bay making it close to the superbowl but not making it, like the cowboys. Giants aren't making it, but patriots have a good chance. Also, social media is one of the most talked about things in this country. It has destroyed many lives as well as helped others. For example, the wrong picture could get into the wrong hands, and it could help by helping people meeting other people. It's a win/lose situation. I predict that social media will be a horrible but good thing. Only time will tell with what could happen in 2017
Looking back at 2016, there have been many surprises in our society, from re-electing a new president to more social media being involved in our social lives. Reading the article, "Kylie Jenner and the Year of Drop,"really showed how much the Jenner's and the Kardashian's are being influenced in our daily lives. Beginning with a reality show "Keeping Up with the Kardashian's," each and every one of them have become more and more successful throughout the years. The youngest sister, Kylie Jenner, has recently become an icon to most people with the release of her "Kylie Lip Kits." It has brought many girls in buying her products and keeping up with her through snapchat and instagram. She has definitely stood out to most people in her trendy style. Now, that she has opened her own shop with her products, she will most of all have many people wanting to buy more and more. Her Lip Kits are a huge hit of 2016!
With that being said, the most important thing I mostly look forward to in 2017, is hoping everyone becomes a united nation in knowing people are safe and stay strong no matter what we go through.

As the ball drops in the heart of New York city, we say farewell to 2016 and hello to 2017. New Year, new opportunities and most important, a new president. Donald J. Trump, currently the most well-known man in the U.S. in 2017. As stated in, "Predictions for a Trump Presidency, "The worry, he said, is that Mr. Trump will employ a tactic as president that he used throughout the campaign, of punishing journalists whose work he dislikes." As it can be seen, our president to be has already created a name for himself. He has been racist, rude, untruthful, had said things others wouldn't dream of saying and to top it all off, he had silenced those who tried to report these events. It ruins the ideals we embrace in America and in all honesty, I’m afraid. I’m afraid of what’s to come, in the future that I predict to come, there are more outbreaks, more debt and even more soldiers being sent off to war. Yes, it is true, I am afraid, yet who isn’t? We all have an issue with speculating what’s to come, which causes our fear to take control; although the events I had predicted may come true, there is also the possibility that it may not as well. The real fact is that we won’t know what will happen, we might even be surprised of what actually occurs, who knows? One thing is for sure though, we will just have to wait and see.
In the article, Don't Bother With the Games, Our 2017 Sports Guide Knows All by FILIP BONDY talks about all the predictions and news that will occur in sports according to each month. My opinions on this article is frustrating. Patriots are not going to beat Cowboys because in my prediction Giants will take the superbowl over the Patriots. This prediction in my opinion is false, since Giants (with Eli Manning as quaterback) have never lost when they have entered the playoff. On July of 2017, the article mentions, “Serena Williams wins Wimbledon title, loses count of exactly how many that is.” This is very true in my opinion. This prediction has a higher chance of being accomplished since there can be evidence to back up this prediction. My prediction for the Wimbledon definitely is Serena Williams winning for women and most likely Djokovic for the men. Another part of the passage which I am hoping doesn't happen is, “N.F.L. installs replay policy that mandates official review of every gain of more than 2 yards.” This is just crazy because the game will turn into golf, a boring, long game. More than two yards, will happen frequently and checking the play over again is just tedious. If this rule is in place, then there will be definitely less viewers since the time of the game will be elongated.

Ms. Bellotti there is more written to this, and I have shared you the document
The year 2016 is now in the past and 2017 has arrived. I have trouble thinking of predictions to the new year of 2017 since there were a plethora of surprises brought to us throughout the past years, whether it was attacks, bombings, changes in technology or even the presidential election (Hillary vs. Trump.) One of the most major, and important, topics I’ve been thinking much about lately is the new president, Donald Trump. Even though he isn’t officially the president of United States yet, thinking about it gets me worried. Many citizens were crucially mad at the fact Hillary lost during the elections, but now everyone is concerned about Trump. As we all know, Trump has the saying “Make America Great Again.” Donald Trump promised everyone a change when he became the president, but I believe there will be no such thing. Many people are scared of what his ideas will bring us, and whether or not he will help us at all. Donald Trump has some of his own opinions that go against all others. For the first time since 2016, the Republicans have complete control over the White House and the Senate. In this case, I honestly don’t know what to expect as of right now. Overall, I predict that 2017 is going to have its ups and downs, but all that I hope for is that the Unites States stays put together with our new President.
As the ball drops bringing about a new year, it also brings on a multitude of questions: what will president elect trump do once inaugurated,how will the democratic party respond to such a defeat?
For one, as for president elect Trump, I can foresee a shift in presidential manner and conduct. For instance, Trump is very victorious and he freely expresses his stances on many sensitive issues. As noted in the article, Predictions for a Trump Presidency, ‘’Russia could have hacked the democratic National committee to undermine faith in the 2016 election and the winner of that race, Donald Trump, would shrug off the entire episode by telling the country to move on.’’ As history reveals, a president typically doesn’t undermine the public’s say especially in a democracy for his own benefit. However, as this can prove to be adversarial on Trump’s behalf, I feel as if it's the attitude that can propel our country back to the top. For instance, the United States has been lagging behind other countries in terms of trading policy and regulations. With a Trump presidency, I can predict a thriving economy for America with many assets being sourced from a revival in trading policies since Trump is a lucrative and stern businessman. In the foreseeable future, the democratic party will likely show much displeasure resulting from the election, and without senate support the party may remain silent for quite some time. Perhaps, our country would then see a population decline.

I am a HUGE movie fan and last year was a pretty rough year for the highly anticipated movies that covered the rest of the (mostly) 2016's ''sub par'' movies. With how bad Suicide Squad and Batman v. Superman was I still see a better reel of movies coming in 2017. Hopefully my hypothesis is correct after just watching Moonlight (which was AMAZING) not to long ago. I see a brighter future for the silver screen forwarding into 2017. My biggest milestone I want to achieve this year is to make my short film for admission into USC School of Cinematic Arts.My goal in life is to become a successful Film Director and I believe the first step to achieving that dream is attending the best film school in America.
My predictions for Donald Trump's presidency is that we will probably will have someone else do all the work behind the scenes while he just be the face of america.
I think that the art culture will advance in 2017. Art and technology may play a part together and become a new trend for people all ages.
When it comes to my loved ones and life i believe that this year be a lucky one. Hopefully my chances of winning the lottery will win.

Well it’s a new year, time to make some changes. 2016 is gone and 2017 will have a pocket full of surprises for us. We don’t exactly know what will happen in 2017, but we do have the ability to predict what will happen. Based on an article that I read, “What to Watch for in Fashion in 2017” I concluded that there is going to be a new look in Washington and Paris. In Washington we might be wearing some European brands or oversize suits. While in Paris, I predict that there will be a rival of designers trying to win the spotlight. In addition the runways will probably be more upbeat and different; in the sense that the whole system will be shaken up. A designer to look out for is Raf Simons because he will be trying to seal the deal of having both genders walk the runway at the same time. I don’t know about you, but I sure am excited; actually I better start saving up.
A new year is a year of 365 days of new opportunities. Now that may sound corny, but it is the truth. This year I predict that I will rock 2017 and that I won’t stress myself out for the littlest things. Last year I would stress situations out and I would block myself out from what was really happening, but not this year. Yes, I am aware that predictions don’t always come true, but I will make sure that this one does. I hope that my family, friends, and I are filled with peace, love and health. Now let’s make sure that we make 2017 our year to shine!

I have a very strong opinion about this year of 2017. I have made predictions previously and they differ greatly from the fellow students i have collaborated with. I strongly believe that this upcoming year will bring safety and peace. I also have an extremely strong opinion about the election coming into 2017 and I think it will have no effect whatsoever. A lot of people believe that our current president elect will ruin how well our year goes, and if our country will strive or fall this upcoming year. However, i strongly disagree, i think that the American people's hard work and strong beliefs will point the direction that this country will go toward. I think that in this upcoming year art, fashion, and style will skyrocket. So many people are becoming more and more intrigued in the art world and this is the year for them to flourish. This year i am turning 18 and making some of the biggest decisions of my life. I plan to point my life in a direction and start going there and if i have a change in desire i will fix my plan.
I`m not gonna talk about Trump's presidency because I'm not from united states. My country (Colombia) has a huge challenge with peace process, everyone know that Colombians vote "No" for the process but The President, Farc and other actors changed it and it was approved last year so this year we have to build a post - conflict country and that is really hard because of some social problems that we have currently but I hope we can solve it.
I'm afraid about natural resources because we will have a lot of troubles in the future if we don´t do something now.
Finally I'm learning English so if you can help me with my grammar and mistakes I'll appreciate it.

With 2017 bringing more social media apps and more ways to communicate with strangers, friends, and family worldwide the negativity on these apps are likely to grow. In the article, “With Shifts in National Mood Come Shifts in Words We Use, Study Suggests” written by Steph Yin states ways officials plan to keep the negativity to a minimum. There is a new tactic named “positive linguistic bias” which encourages kind words that can completely transform communication. Also in “Want Hopeful Signs From 2016? Look to Some of Its Aggravations” written by, Ron Lieber. With many travel issues in the past twelve months travel has and will change greatly in the upcoming months. For example, in 2016 lost or delayed luggage was not addressed. However, now all air carriers must give an automatic refund to checked baggage fees if the flyer does not receive their bag in 12 to 15 hours. Lastly, Kylie Jenner has started many new trends that will be carried into 2017. Makeup and fashion is greatly influenced by the Kardashians and will be a continuing theme in 2017. 2017 is a exciting year for language, travel, and fashion.
What I think about 2017 is that I hope it would be a good year because their is a lot of things happening like Donald Trump getting elected to be president. How ISIS is a big problem in most places because it was new years day in Istanbul they went to this famous place that everyone knows and these men came in to scout to see what is going on and then they went outside to get there weapons. Then they shot the men garding the door that diedi and they shot people inside. That was the most scariest thing ever. There was 1 injured and 38 dead. The one that was injured was telling the police and news how this happened.
In this article, “What Are Your Predictions for 2017?” by Shannon Doyne, the author clearly states, “Much of the speculation about changes this year is focusing on politics as Republicans are about to seize control of the House, Senate and the White House for the first time since 2006.” In other words, the author is stating that many of the predictions this year are focused on politics since the Republicans won the election for the first time in 11 years! As for me, my predictions aren’t really that special. As every other person, I wish that my family, friends, and relatives remain healthy and alive. I believe and hope that they will have a successful 2017 and will continue to support me with every step along the way. I will continue to have fun and do whatever makes me happy. My dad will continue to take phone calls for what seems like 24/7. My mom will continue to penalize me for my grades till the day that it hopefully pays off! My sister will continue to be older, smarter, and also my pesky sister. The prediction that worries me the most is that my dad will never spend any quality family time with us. The prediction that comforts me the most it that my mom will continue reminding me how important it is not to slack off because one day I am sure it will be valuable to me and hopefully I will make her proud one day. Last but certainly not least, I look forward to this summer because I will be traveling to 3 of my favorite places in the world, Germany, London, and Egypt!
I agree with predicting that all your friends family and relatives do well in 2017! Because all my friends family and relatives deserve to have a great year.
It’s hard for me to predict what 2017 will bring us, especially since 2016 seemed to throw so many surprises. The most major one for me was that Donald Trump is the new President of the United States, and that the Republicans will be able to rise to power. As stated in the article Republicans Stonewalled Obama. Now the Ball is In Their Court., “Republicans (...) have long been itching for a chance to do it their way,” (Hulse, paragraph 4). I am scared to see how our society will change with a new party in control after quite a while. We have worked to hard to get to try to make America more accepting of people: their race, sexuality, beliefs, body shape. Donald Trump has opinions that go against all of these factors and his presidency will bring many setbacks to America.
Aside from this, I think that 2017 is bound to bring many other changes in different areas of our culture. I think that fashion, art, and style will flourish and become more unique. Fashion from the 90's seems to be trending nowadays and more trends are arriving. 2016 has improved technology a lot and I am positive that it will continue to do so this year. For my personal life, I know that not much will change. I know that I will face a couple of barriers along the way, but I will be able to pull through them.
I am quite curious to find out how many of my predictions will come true and what I am going to encounter this year. I hope that 2017 will be a good one for me. I'm already off to a good start!

2017 has arrived, and the biggest thought in almost everybody’s mind is of what is to come just 20 days into the year. What is for some, anticipation, is for many others, immense fear in what to expect of 2017. "For the first time since 2006," Republicans will have complete control of the House, Senate and the White House. But for the first time in our history, America will be in the hands of a man that has no experience in government, with no specific ideology outside “Making America Great Again.” Donald Trump promises a change, and I do believe we will get one; it’s the reason people voted for him. It’s also the reason that so many people fear him. I think that for 2017, we really don’t know what to expect in this case, because we have such an unpredictable political figure in charge. Throughout Trump’s entire campaign there were many things that “we did not predict,” so I don’t doubt that predictions for the next four years will be “hard—even hazardous,” as Michael Barbaro states. With the Republican majority, I am certain that there is change ahead; there will be changes in policies made by the Obama Administration, and changes in the types of decisions that will be made by our Supreme Court. These will be changes in things that I personally believe have taken us a step forward as a country. Now, I fear we may be taking a step back.
All I can truly hope for in 2017 is that my family stays healthy and safe, and that we, as a country, remain strong and hopeful, together.

- I am not one to think about politics considering I and not the legal age to vote I don't really care about politics. With this new presidency comes a new change because the new president would be a person who has never had any experience in the legal business and If so he didn't a good job. Personally I believe that this president is going to reek havoc and corrupt the United States into being a racist and sexist country. I believe this because Donald Trump has neglected the Mexican and says that he wants to build a all separating the USA and Mexico. Addition to that Trump has made many remarks about woman over the many years he's been in the limelight.
- I didn't really understand all the legal terms but what i got from the article is that the Republicans are finally happy that they have won their way into to making decisions that they want. I couldn't tell you the Obama policies that would change because like I said before I am not into politics to know what will change.
- Personally I believe that many thing will be put down like certain culture celebration or fashion styles would change. Due to the fact that no one once had any objection against the way a culture is shown however I think there will be a lid on that because most people would probably be afraid of getting deported. Not culture but also being able to express oneself and to me that is through fashion so i also believe that will change.

In the article, Don't Bother With the Games, Our 2017 Sports Guide Knows All, it mentions all the results of all sport events. My predictions for the team that will be in the NBA finals will be the Warriors going against the Cavaliers, Warriors being the champion for the finals. For my life, it will be the same, different year, same me. However, the only thing that is going to happen to me is making new friends. Friends are something that always change, whether you lose, gain them. As for the presidency, Donald Trump will not make the Cleveland Browns great again in his inauguration nor will he fulfill his promises he said in his whole entire election. However, he will be our president for two full terms, since he said he was going to negotiate trade deals with other countries along with many other beneficial things. Donald Trump says that he will make Mexico pay for the wall that he says he is going to make, but the President of Mexico replies saying that they will not pay a single penny. Another prediction in my life is passing ninth grade and getting a summer job in my town. The prediction that I don't like is the fact that Trump might be our president for two full terms because I have got used to Obama's presidency, and Trump being president wants to change some of the things that Obama has done. However, I can't stay worrying about Trump since there are other predictions that I like. Those being the Warriors winning the NBA finals, and me succeeding in life.
In the article, What are Your Predictions by Shannon Doyne, it says, "Much of the of the speculation about changes this year is focusing on politics as Republicans are about seize control of the House, Senate and the White House for the first time since 2006."My predictions comes to my life and my loved ones' lives. I hope or believe that everything will just stay the same as it is right now. I will continue to spend a lot of money on clothes/shoes/handbags/makeup. My dad will still be always busy with his work in 2017 and will not spend time with me. My mom will continue to cook all the time since she loves to cook. My brother, who is 2 right now, will grow up and will probably finally learn to talk this year and finally will pronounce my name right. The prediction that most worries me is that my dad will be busy all year and not spend time with me. This worries me because I want to be with him to have father-daughter time but that never happens and it will worry me if it still doesn't happen in 2017. The prediction that comforts me is my brother growing up. It comforts me because he's my only sibling I love him so much. I have been alone with no siblings for twelve years of my life and I don't want to spend the rest of my life like that. I want to spend time with my brother to get to know him, so all I am waiting for is him to grow up. Lastly, I look forward to spend my birthday on March 15 with my family and friends as I usually do every year.
I believe that the Presidency of Donald Trump will be a good thing because I believe his ideas are what al of the Americans need in our nation. I believe that in the new era of Republican Control, that our nation will become great again and people will be able to do things that they are not able to do now. For example, travel to other countries and walk in cities, not feeling like you are going to die.
When in comes to my loved ones I hope that all of their New Years Resolutions come true and that my mom is happy with the election results. I hope that I also can possibly get better grades on tests, quixes, and homework assignments. The prediction that most worries me is that there will be a huge terrorist attack somewhere in America. I fear that there a=have been small ones and large ones, but I fear that there will be an even bigger attack. I am excited for Donald Trump's Presidency and I predict that he will make a great president and that is what comforts me.

My prediction for 2017 is that there will be an uprising of some sort. All the Americans that voted for Clinton are furious with the outcome of the election and are already rioting. Those that voted for Clinton have called for a re-count, making all those that voted for Trump angry and upset. If there is a re-count, all those that voted for Trump will be understandably upset, resulting in both sides being upset. By the time Trump takes office on the 20th of January, many citizens will be upset either with the government of will each other. I hope our country can function properly and respectfully towards each other.
I respectfully disagree with your opinion. I believe that our nation is a strong and together group of people. Our leaders are perfectly capable of running our country. The way our government is set up, it makes it nearly impossible for our president to make stupid decisions.
-One of my predictions is that it will be a hard time for America adjusting to the new president elect Donald Trump.The nation is split into 2 those who are for it and those against.We can't change that he is our soon to be president so we will have to deal with it in 2017 untill 2020.
-For my loved ones and my life I hope all stay happy and healthy.But if someone is to become sick or ill that we will all be there for them and to help them through that tough time.
-I'm looking forward to finishing my freshman year of high school and turning 15.
-I predict that the patriots will not win the superbowl but the seahawks will.
-The cubs will not win the world series but the Red Soxs.
-My prediction that worrys me the most is how people will react to the election some may be violent which makes me nervous because with where are future is going we need to be united and stand together.My orediction that comforts me the most is that all my loved ones will be healthy and happy I know that this prediction is unrealistic due to old-age and diseases ut I'm comforted by the idea that all my family and friends will stick with me and hopefully not pass away or die.

The obvious impeachment of Donald Trump will take place and his Cabinet members will be charged as well. His daughter, sons, and son in law will also face charges to. Lastly the freezing of Trumps assets will drive him off the edge for sure.
The Good news is the citizens of America will unite like never before. And then America will be great again.
