Where do you think you’ll be a year from now? What will you be doing? How will things have changed? It can be fun (or scary) to think about what might happen in the upcoming year, so I’ve decided to make some predictions about the two broad categories of Political and Celebrity news.
I considered adding other topics, but all my predictions were just too darn depressing, so I decided to stick to the lighter stuff.
I’m not normally a gambling (wo)man, but if I could put money on the following predictions coming true, I think I’d be a rich lady when it came time to ring in 2016.
My Guaranteed to Happen Predictions for 2015
Politics
Republicans and Democrats will fight a lot. Nothing will get accomplished.
Congress will form a committee to look into something that has absolutely nothing to do with them. They’ll waste millions of taxpayer dollars holding hearings to further investigate this thing that has nothing to do with them. Meanwhile all the stuff that does have to do with them will be ignored.
Celebrities
A celebrity couple will get married. The world will be shocked and awed by how much they spent on the wedding.
A celebrity couple will have a baby and name it something completely ludicrous. The world will collectively gasp in horror, yet oddly, the name will suddenly appear on the 100 Most Popular Baby Names of 2015 list.
A celebrity couple will divorce (or consciously uncouple). Their heartache will be splashed across the news and social media.
What predictions would you make?
Michelle says
Yes, even the ludicrous name “Ludicris” has been taken. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludacris)
I believe you are correct about all these things. It will be fun to chronicle them as they happen. 🙂
Lauren says
Ha! Too funny!!
Kristen says
Ha! This is so true – glad you didn’t pick the obvious! Where’s the sports category? 🙂
Lauren says
I actually had a sports category, but it was “A superstar does something really really horrible”, so I left it out 😛
Echo says
Holy crap! Are you psychic?! These predictions are amazing!
Lauren says
Ha! They were really tough to come up with too 😉
Kristen says
You totally nailed it! Haha!
Lauren says
I might have to write a follow-up because I keep thinking of more. Like, “A former child star will go completely berserk.”
Michelle says
Love it! I have a feeling you may hit 100% on these predictions!
Tricia the Good Mama says
Yep, I would be willing to bet that all of these will come true this year!
Amanda @ Queenofthelandoftwigsnberries says
Another important one: You will feel like you are the absolute worst at everything (you job, parenting, relationships, etc.) and then you will have an awesome day and a strong cup of coffee and will realize that you are amazing.
Lauren says
Haha! Good point!!
