New Year's Resolutions
This year my new year's resolution is to not only get comfortable with working with MySQL, but to have it implemented live on my website and doing so without giving administrative rights to newly registered members...or really anyone.
I also plan on replacing as much of my procedural programming with object oriented programming. I want to get my site updated to Preview V within six months and move on to bigger things perhaps! Also I want to find a girlfriend up to my standards (she must validate without warnings
).
So what are your new year's resolutions?

Just the fact that you're here indicates that you're a self-learner. And nobody really cares if you have a degree / diploma. Not at all. Save your time and money. My advice is this: move in with geeks (away from your parents) and forget college. You'll learn more from doing stuff than you will from classes. Way more. And you won't incur a huge debt.
Has anyone here *really* benefited from college / uni classes?

Kieran is right, wish I knew that ahead of time. The "college" (IADT Orlando) I attended dropped both the AS in Web Design (little interest) and Web Development (main interest) and I was the only person in both degrees for two years. Oh, nothing like being failed by a graphics teacher for professional Web Design. "You won't learn CSS until Web Development, this is Web Design so show me some different designs"... few people deserve to be smacked so hard. 10 MB Photoshop slices and full blown Flash classes with the word font used (at all) in the single class dedicated to any sort of actual "code"...HTML. Epic fail...on our nation's education system and for the dunces who who think a BA in game development will do anything other then put them in enormous and unjustifiable debt. There has to be a dedicated stickied thread somewhere for reasons not to go to college for anything computer related?

post_secondary_school [deprecated]
(INTERNET, WIKIPEDIA)
post_secondary_school — Returns the user to a state of confusion and debt
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description
degree post_secondary_school ( subject, tuition [, time, effort ], callback $credentials )
People who failed in industry years ago pretend to teach you something about a technology that was replaced years ago by something better.
Unlike apprenticeship() which contributes to your resources, this function is extremely resource dependent.
