Here are the most batshit crazy things that happened in 2017

People assumed 2017 couldn't be any worse than 2016, and those people were wrong.

The list is too long to go through now, but it's been a hell of a year, like actual hell.

But in this crazy world university life remains much the same. Students do ridiculous things to pass the time, universities fuck up in increasingly moronic ways, and student Tories and rugby lads continue to be dicks.

Here are the most batshit crazy things that happened across UK campuses this year.

Pitch invasions, police involvement, fighting, streaking, people bottling each other. That's exactly what sport is all about right?
