Hi Codeforces!
Ladies and gentlemen, 2023 is near. Lots of things happened to us in 2022, both achievements and disappointments. This is just a list of what I have done and haven't yet in 2022, and my goals for 2023.
I'm just in the mood to write something, don't take it seriously.
Successful tasks:
- Have my hair grown back.
- Being in the top 100 of a contest.
- Set a div.2 round.
- Solving every problem of a div.3 contest (with my alt account).
- Be able to solve some 2400 problems.
- Overcome my weakness of bitmasks and data structures.
- Won the 2022 local CP cup at my university.
- Participate in the 2022 ICPC Asia HCMC Regional Contest.
- Have my own Computer Science community.
- My community is a great partner in some big events.
- Meet my girlfriend.
- Meet LastDance.
- Meet GlowCheese.
- Meet jalsol.
- Meet SPyofgame.
- And many more people.
- Visit home regularly, to see that my parents are still healthy.
What I haven't done:
- Reach Master.
- Solving every problem of a div.2 contest.
- Get a medal in the 2022 ICPC Asia HCMC Regional Contest (just 1 rank up and I'll have a bronze medal).
- Dethroning adhoc problems.
- Set a div 1 + 2 round.
- Finding stable sponsors for my events.
- Have a job.
- Get a house.
My goals for 2023:
- Finish university.

- Set a combined round.
- Get a job.
- Visit another country.
- Overcome my leftover weakness.
There may be many more things that should be on the lists, I'll add them later, as I cannot remember all of them.
Anyway, 2023 is near. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.
True competitive programmers haven't a girlfriend))
For the first time ever, I am feeling proud not having a gf.
they have wife
Solve every problem in div2 (consistently enough) = at least grandmaster.
that's amazing and fantastic, but who asked ?
I DID
Nice. I remember commenting on another blog where people claimed what rank they would upgrade to by end of the year. I was successful in that. Now adding some goals for 2023. It's a long time period, don't know if things will work out but let's see.
1) International Master by my birthday (August)
2) Top 5 Rank in all ICPC India events (Prelims and Regionals)
3) Qualify for ICPC WF (most probably 2024 one)
4) Getting the top 200 FBHC tee
5) Getting top 50 Kickstart at least twice.
6) Set a CP round
7) Write 3 good blogs on CF
8) Not drop to Candidate Master more than 5 times
Achievement: Went from newbie to expert in 2022. Target for 2023: Reach candidate master asap.
My only aim for 2023:
Get out of this addiction, and get a life.
there is still at least 2 rounds in 2022 so who knows , maybe you reach master!
Aren't alt accounts forbidden?
At least competing in the same contest with multiple accounts is not allowed. I don't know about multiple accounts in general.
It is not allowed to own alt accounts, whether they participate in the same contest or not. However, this rule is applied pretty loosely.
Congrats for achieving (some of) your goals, and good luck completing the list!
This man shook my hand like crazy.
Can confirm, he is truly gifted in shaking hands
May your wishes come true, my brother!
