          With a fresh start to the year, 2025 will become another great year to remember. Thus, here are some predictions for the year to come! 

         To start: the craze for tater tots, fries, chips, and hash browns will be squashed by the new creation of potatoes, the frotato. The school lunch will be spruced up with this new addition! Students will go feral over this illustrious innovation; the new menu item will be sold out within minutes of the start of Lunch and Learn! Starting February 2nd, be sure to wear your running shoes; and don’t expect to be first in line.

Additionally, 2025 will foresee hazardous weather. 2025 will be dogged with bouts of the great hailstorm, and marked by the arrival of a great hailstorm. Students will be forced to seek shelter within their homes for three days: sound familiar? However, the year does bring its bonuses. Forget about work, as FIDs will magically disappear.      

In addition, the gaming world will experience an earthquake with the release of the highly anticipated video game, GTA 6, after years of waiting; similarly, Esports’ fishing will boom in popularity. The realism of these games will capture the awe of the players and become all the rave for months on end. 

On the other hand, people will popularly adopt oranges as pets. Thanks to the new mutation in oranges, these orange creatures have grown legs and because of their bright color and iconic look, this trend will start in the streets. New York City is where almost everyone, and every orange, is seen, walking their oranges.

Lastly, jump roping, tug-of-war, and skydiving will become Olympic sports, inspiring millions to start jump roping and schools to implement jump rope and tug-of-war activities and programs into their offered classes and extracurricular activities. 

Are we ready to see what our 2025 wrapped has to hold for us? From overwhelming news, never-ending drama, to bumpy roads, we can survive another year. 

After all, it is another twelve months of unsuspecting events that we call life; and who knows, maybe we’ll be right about the oranges!kjnkjnkjnkk
