MLK Day
This year, MLK Day falls on Jan. 21, giving us our usual anticipated three-day weekend. Since it's never easy to go back to school or work after a break, the long weekend comes at the perfect time to make the transition less painful. Of course, let's not forget what the holiday is all about: equality.
Super Bowl Sunday
The NFL's biggest day comes on Sunday, Feb. 3. Whether or not you're a football fan, it's quite the event. Consider it an excuse to gather with people you adore, appreciate serious athleticism, eat great snacks and watch the year's best commercials. Oh, and with Travis Scott performing at halftime, will he capitalize on the big moment to propose to Kylie Jenner?
On the Come Up by Angie Thomas
If you're a book-lover, keep an eye out for On the Come Up. Due out on Feb. 5, it's the latest novel from Angie Thomas. Her debut novel, The Hate U Give, was a best-seller, and it also inspired the 2018 film starring Amandla Stenberg.
The Oscars
Film buffs should have the 91st Academy Awards (otherwise known as the Oscars) on their calendars. The big awards show is held on Feb. 29. It's a great chance to see your fave stars in all their red-carpet glory, and find out if they go home winners.

World Championships of Figure Skating
Figure skating doesn't just happen during the Olympics. From March 20 to 24 in Saitama, Japan, the best skaters in the world will be competing for medals, in a show of amazing athletics and artistry. One storyline to watch is whether or not reigning champ Nathan Chen of the United States can hold onto his title in the men's event.
