2015 was a year full of many ups and downs, causing many shocking headlines. With all the excitement of the New Year, let's take a quick moment to reflect on the year we had and the highlights and downfalls of 2015.
Bruce Made the Change to Caitlyn
Vanity Fair featured her on the front page for the world to see, shocking many viewers who actually keep up with the Kardashians. Caitlyn is now a roll model paving the way for many as she already had a prominent roll as a celebrity.
Same-Sex Marriage Was Legalized
On June 26, Same Sex Marriage was legalized nationwide, put that in your history textbook.
The Dress
It’s definitely gold and white right now, but at one point I saw blue and black. This was definitely my least favorite fad on the internet all year.
Zayn Left One Direction
This Directioner went off in his own direction, leaving the band to pursue his solo career. Harry, you’re cute, but good luck hitting those high notes.
Orange is the New Black Season 3
Yes, please. Did you catch that one? Cause I’m still trying to get over how great it was.
The US Women’s Soccer Team
Our team dominated this year, watching the final game was all kinds of exciting. You go, girls!
Netflix Announced “Fuller House”
I’m a little excited. Maybe a lot excited. It premiers February 26. You’re welcome.
Trump Ran for President
Yes, that really happened. Need I say more?

Adele Came Out to Say Hello
After three years of silence, Adele released her hit single “Hello,” and helloooo, it was fabulous.
Syrian Refugee Crisis
Many Syrians have been in search of finding solace in other European countries this year, and some countries have been more open than others, to say the least.
Steve Harvey’s Awkward Slip
And the runner up is: Miss Colombia! Oh wait, no, it’s Miss Philippeans…oops.
The Force Awakened
That’s right, another film was released in the Star Wars saga. No spoilers please, some of us haven’t seen it yet.
There were a lot of highs and lows this last year, and there’s a lot of promise with the coming year. Overall, I’m mostly just excited to hear the joke “where do you see yourself in 5 years? I don’t know, I don’t have 2020 vision” go and never return. Happy New Years...let's see what 2016 has in store.
