2015 Year in Review
From the best to the worst, 2015 was a year full of firsts.
Best Marketing of 2015
1. NIKE
Nike is a brand that has been around for quite a long time. However, in 2015, they seem to have made a much greater impact with their marketing techniques. All of their new commercials and advertisements attract all of the right customers. Their new products such as sneakers, jerseys, and athletic wear are all custom made to fit the desires of the majority of their customers which are athletes and active people of all ages.
2. Geico
Geico is an insurance company which stands for "Government Employees Insurance Company". They provide relatively affordable insurance and are very well known for their little gecko who is now the mascot for the company. The reason this little gecko with the funny accent is so well known is because of Geico's great marketing skills. All of their commercials are seen by people of all ages and are usually quite comedic which makes people remember them.
3. Budweiser
Budweiser is probably the most popular alcoholic beverage brand in the United States. Their advertisements are so widespread and seen by all. Although young children should not be exposed to it so young, there are Budweiser commercials found on many TV channels. There was even a Made in America music festival which was sponsored by Budweiser, and that was the only drink they had available to sell to people.
Best Products of 2015
1. Apple iPhone 6s
Apple is a company that is constantly coming out with new products and so far we see nothing but improvement. That is why the iPhone 6s, which is currently the newest version of the iPhone, is one of the best products of 2015. It is showing us the potential of future technology. There is not another mobile device more convenient than this phone.
2. 2015 Tesla Model S P85D
Tesla is a relatively new car brand that is changing the automotive industry drastically. Tesla's cars are all-electric vehicles. It is the first automaker to use regular over-the-air software updates to add new features or fix issues, so that your car will actually improve over time. They are changing the game forever. Tesla is the future of automobiles.
Worst Products of 2015
1. Tao Chair
The Tao Chair is a chair that measures how many calories you're burning, while you forcefully relax in it. The chair is meant so that you to grip its armrests, and strain against its firm embrace. Sensors record your exertions and display the number of calories you burn on an embedded screen.
2. Sony Walkman NW-ZX2
The Sony Walkman is a wonderful piece of technology that has been around for a pretty long time. The new Sony Walkman NW-ZX2 is a nice product as well; however, it is a little too old fashioned for modern-day people's liking. With all of the new electronic devices out there today that can store music, a portable mp3 player that costs $1,200 seems a little unreasonable and Sony is not receiving the kind of sales they desired for this product.
Top Movies of 2015
1. Southpaw
Southpaw is a movie that came out in July of 2015. It is about a boxer who struggles with balancing family and his career. It is a very action-filled movie that appeals to people of all ages. It is full of sports, drama, and action making it a movie that many people fell in love with.
2. Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens
After the first Star Wars movie in 1977, this movie brought out Star Wars lovers over many generations.

New Years Resolutions
Personal improvement: I would like to reach my goal body by going to the gym religiously, 3-4 times a week.
Family and Friends: With college just around the corner, I would like to start helping out around the house much more and become closer with my younger sister before I move away and become distant from all of them.
School: I would like to do as well as I possibly can and although all of senior year may not count toward my college application, it is important for me to never stop taking school seriously so that I am prepared for what next year has to offer.
