    Another year older, another year wiser. Well at least that’s what my parents keep telling me.

    As this year is coming to a close, let’s all take a second to look back what happened throughout 2015 in Chico.

    We started out the year with:

    • The underground club, Bassmint, takes stage under Peeking’s Restaurant.
    • The Keep Chico Weird talent show exposes hidden talent.
    • A bicyclist peddles through town on Super Bowl Sunday for the annual Paskenta Ride.
    • Hundreds of students gather for an anti-violence rally.
    • A.S. Elections begin to elect a new board.
    • In April, the Gender and Sexuality Equality Center hosts “Take Back the Night.”
    • The Thursday Night Farmers market opens downtown.
    • John Feeney is announced as the new chief of University Police.
    • The same-sex marriage law is enacted on June 27.
    • Chico State announces it will reduce its water usage by 43 percent because of the drought.
    • Construction on the Gus Manolis Bridge begins and is completed in November.
    • Chico State celebrates the Chico World Music Festival.
    • Halloween weekend saw less alcohol-related incidents compared to past years.
    • November kicks with a sustainability challenge.
    • Thanksgiving break came as a nice relief to stressed-out students.
    • Christmas Preview takes place downtown on Dec. 22.
    • Tree Lighting takes place on Dec. 4 downtown.

    2015 brought about change and progress to Chico State and the city. It was a memorable year for us all. Let’s make 2016 even better.
