The world didn’t quite end the year on an easy note.

Some newsworthy names include Tamir Rice, Bill Cosby and Donald Trump, as well as the fire in Dubai, Paris shootings, the continued wars and violence abroad. The Syrian migrant crisis, and of course, the ever increasing threat of ISIS are all among those that 2015 will remembered for, other countless groundbreaking events notwithstanding.

This Reuters video summing up the year in a 60 second clip does the job for those in need of catching up.

2016 will bring new trials. Though past experience will leave many prepared and guarded for surprises to appear at every corner, it remains important to keep hope and optimism on board.

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

Bring on the year.
