It’s the end of 2015, the year the classic film “Back to the Future 2” took place is now completely in the past.

So now what?

We don’t have hoverboards or flying cars — but we do have the ability to video chat with anyone in the world using devices that can fit in our pockets.

With the coming of each new year it is common to make a New Year’s resolution. Some resolve to improve their health, their relationships, their finances or to do something new to improve their life or the lives of others.

Personally, I’m just aiming for a more balanced workout routine since I’d like to still have functioning joints in my golden years.

Being an editor, an older brother, an uncle and rodeo mentor, I also take a bossy approach to New Year’s — a list of resolutions I’d like to see for the world in the coming year.

I’d like to see our healthcare system become effective and affordable. People are like trucks or animals; it’s easier to prevent a problem than to fix a problem, and nobody should go bankrupt for getting sick.

It seems pretty messed up that one of the most popular TV shows in recent years is about a school teacher who gets cancer and becomes a drug lord to pay his medical bills. Had the show taken place anywhere else in the industrialized world, the entire premise wouldn’t have worked; he would have gotten treatment and continued his teaching career.

I’d like to see our education system become affordable for all. It is common to hear the phrase “I started with nothing and worked my way up,” but American college graduates are starting out $30,000 in the hole on average, according to the Institute of College Access and Success.

Add in vehicle loans and a newly-wed recently graduated couple are facing $60,000 for student loans and however much they have to borrow for each of their vehicles. And all of this gets financed while starting at entry-level positions.

I worry that these burdens will create long term repercussions on a larger scale for society — delaying the traditional milestones of buying a home or even having kids.

I’d like to see our economy stabilize for the longterm. As a driver of an unnecessarily large truck, I enjoy the decrease in fuel prices. But one of my best friends is unemployed because the oil industry has slowed down and that’s placed a large road block on any roadtrip plans.

On a less self-centered note, the pending budgetary challenges the Legislature will face in the coming months are not ones I look forward to writing about. For every dollar that’s cut from one budget, that’s a cut in services provided to residents and from jobs that keep so many people employed.

Of course, the likelihood of all of those things happening in 2016 is about on par with the likelihood of converting my GMC Sierra into a flying truck or riding home from work on a hoverboard. Neither of those happened in 2015 like Hollywood had predicted, and the Cubs didn’t win the World Series either — so good riddance, 2015, you were a disappointment.

But perhaps those hopes are best left in a fictional past as we work toward some real goals in the future.
