Sure, last year we had the star-studded Ellen selfie and the first Instagram from space — but this year our selfies had purpose.

From shutting down haters to making political endorsements, many of the viral selfies in 2015 carried a strong message. Then there were of course the selfies of animals — from rescued bald eagles to thieving gorillas and elephants. Overall, 2015's selfie game was on point.

You know how people say #nofilter but you know there's a freakin' filter on their pic? Or maybe there's a smidge of retouching going on but they're lying and saying it's all raw & real? Well, this morn, I decided to give you a taste of the really real me. I wanted to smooth out my dark circles so badly!!! But I was like, "Naw, Ty. Show 'em the REAL you." So...here I am. Raw. And there YOU are...looking at me, studying this picture. Maybe you're thinking, "Whoa, she looks ROUGH." And if you are, great! You deserve to see the REAL me. The REALLY real me. #RawAndReal
