Well 2023 has rolled around, and as always we set unrealistic expectations for ourselves in the form of New Year’s resolutions. We should have learned by now we’re constantly setting ourselves up for failure but there we go.

1. ‘Actually go to my lectures’

We can all dream.

2. ‘Attend every Big Cheese of the year’

At what point does a dream turn into a nightmare?
