For some students New Year’s is an exciting evening to get wasted and dance on the tables, for others it is a time to be with close friends around a fire and for some it is a time to exorcise all the sorrows of the past 12 months. What a year 2012 has been for me. I made no resolutions and probably accomplished more than I have in any year before. I have been very lucky, meeting amazing people from around the world, accomplishing my propadeutic exam, getting a taste for travelling and even having my first experience in the Food Industry. So 2013 is upon us, and as I saw in the New Year with close friends and a cup of tea, I couldn’t help but wonder whether 2013 could possibly compare to its predecessor. I made numerous resolutions, knowing darn well that if I completed one of them, it would be more than I ever did before. This year my resolutions have been less inclined towards succeeding as to surviving. My resolutions are as follows:
Be less clumsy whilst working with e-coli – Hence preventing an inevitable Emma Epidemic.
Avoid awkward situations with the police – Or, at least, convince them that I am not Sherlock Holmes’ long lost granddaughter.
Not to talk to repairmen about provocative knickers – Or at least learn to run faster.
Love my neighbour – Even if he is doing yoga in his underwear on my kitchen table.
It is a wonderful thing that my New Year’s resolutions never succeed though… because life would be nowhere near as much fun if they did!
