Cubing at home:

2x2: sub-4 avg
3x3: sub-15 avg (+sub-10 single)
4x4: sub-1 avg???
5x5: get half-decent at it; maybe 2-ish avg?
Pyra: sub-5 avg (is sub-4 too hopeful?); sub-WR single
Skewb: sub-10 avg; maybe sub-8 if I get enough into it
Mega: start practicing again; sub-2 avg maybe
BLD: get my success rate above 20% and finally beat my super-lame PB single

Competitions:

3x3: sub-15 avg
Pyra: Podium, for once? 4th at Red Cross Open was disappointing.

Other:

Learn full-OLL
Switch to L4E on Pyra (I prefer V-first methods)
Get proficient in F2L (Keyhole really is not good, but I've been using it for years)
Get 1,000 subscribers or more on YouTube
 
2x2: sub 2 official single with sub 3.5 official avg/ finish learning cll and eg-1

3x3: finally get sub 10, get a 13 second official avg

4x4: crack the 1 minute mark. Average around 1:05-1:10

5x5: memorize parity, average 3 mins

3x3 OH: get sub20, and average sub 25

Megaminx: learn more LL algs, consistently average under 2 mins

Rubik's Clock: get a sub 7.5, and average sub10

Skewb: Get a sub 3 official single (get the NR), and get a 4 second official average

Pyraminx: get a sub 2.5 official single (get the NR or NAR), and get a sub 3.5 official average (defend my NR)
 
No cubing resolutions,
1. graduate
2. get a better job
3. move out
4. be completely independent

3 and 4 will probably be in 2016 though
 
All official goals:

2x2 Stop competing or learn CLL but more likely the former
3x3 Finally get a sub 15 average
4x4 Sub 1 average
5x5 Sub 2 average
6x6 Start competing and I guess Sub 4 mean based on scaling other's times
3BLD Sub 2 mean
MBLD 9 points
Learn TuRBo and ignore everyone who says just learn M2 instead
Keep my record streak alive without adding any events except FMC for the FMC comp or just turn up to see people and not compete.

I don't plan to practice sighted events much so I've kept the goals achievable.
