2013 New Year's Resolutions

Here's mine:

2x2: Learn more than half of CLL, change my Type-C stickers, Sub-6 average
3x3: Change my GuHong v2 stickers, Sub-20 average
4x4: (if it comes out) Purchase the V-cube 4, Sub-1:30 average
5x5: Change my V-cube 5 stickers, Sub-3:00 average
6x6: Sell or trade my supossedly modded V6 (any takers?)
7x7: GET GOOD
Magic/Master Magic: Also get good

IRL: Score a 25-27 on the ACT in Febuary, and go to another competition(hopefully there's another Hillsdale comp).
 
Start cubing again, learn some more puzzles, post on speedsolving every once in a while, relearn a bunch of forgotten cubing-related things, maybe enter a competition this year, be a better person, study abroad.
 
Yeah, I'm in NYC now. I haven't cubed much in a while, and I recently found all my puzzles and started playing with them, found my way back here.

That is what I will probably do. Though if I see that he softens up to gays than I will tell him. The good thing is that is not a bible thumper and he is intelligent.

Your dad is not an ATM. If you are going to take his money you should at least be honest to him. Good luck.

I hope to solve all of the puzzles that I own this year. 1 per day and I am already behind schedule ;)
I hope to improve on all puzzles that I will put effort into
4/4 in multiblind and FINALLY figure out how to do bigcubes blind
Become much better in commutators so I can actually use them during an official 1 hour FMC regularly
Be helpful again on the forum

Be good to my fiancée and become a great husband to her
Keep enjoying life
Start learning things that take effort again: Japanese, playing piano, modern programming
Keep enjoying life and don't become boring or bored
Organise a competition
 
Cubing Related:
2x2x2: sub-15, maybe BLD
3x3x3: finish memorizing all the OLL and PLL algs, reach sub-30 average of five, reach sub-20 single solve.
4x4x4: reach sub-three minutes

non-cubing related:
work harder in school, do more athletic stuff.
 
Cubing : Be consistently sub-14 on 3x3 by the end of the year, and manage cubing enough so that it doesn't become boring and not enjoyable. In other word, make sure it stays fun :)
Of course I have other goals for all events, but that doesn't really matter right now.

Life : Mend my friendship with my ex-girlfriend
Find reasons to be enjoy life more, and continue being happy
Continue living up to my own standards of what makes a good person
Advance my studies of music theory and prove to myself that I belong in my school's advanced chorus (My director told me he's decided I will be moved up sophomore year)
Get all A's this semester (I got 2 B's in first semester :/ )
Figure out what I want to do with my life, or at least the next few years of it.

NOYB STALKERS!!!
EDIT: After reading some others, it did give me ideas that aren't "personal":
All A's (EZPZ at my school/grade that I'm in)
Stay fit (Not just cubing)
Maybe speedstack a bit again and get a cycle sub 7 3-6-3 sub 2.6 3-3-3 sub 2
Learn javascript programming + program websites
Get on the basketball team (in Novemberish I think will be my chance, as my current grade doesn't do basketball).
Next school year (7th) do 8th grade math EZPZ but I can't skip 2 classes so whatever.
I just realized these are so nerdy. Except for the second one. :P who cares these days.

For some reason I just realized these cubing goals are kinda ridiculous... :P I'll be proud if I get at least 1/3 of these.
 
I know it's already April but here are 2013 resolutions for the rest of the year.

Edit: Update...
Cubing:
- 2x2 get back to sub-6 before any comps got DNF at comp lol but at least one sub-6 single
- 3x3 get past sub-16 barrier not sure if getting past it but current Ao100 is about 15.5
- 3x3 OH get sub-25 Ao12 done
- pyraminx I really don't know what to expect by the end of the year because so far it's been going awesome. Is sub-6 too ambitious? I started pyraminxing about a week ago. done
- clean, re-lube, re-tension, and re-sticker all my favourite cubes with half brights done
- only make one more order of cubes (this is gonna be hard) failed (2 orders) not too bad I guess
- go to my first competition done
- get a sub-15 single during labour would have done but labour didn't happen

IRL:
- give birth to two healthy babies done
- do not get a C-section failed
- go to bed earlier, get more sleep did and then failed after babies arrived
- eat less junk food doing it
- make daughter practice violin and piano regularly doing the latter
- potty train son attempted and failed

Assuming you keep practising, sub-6 is definitely reasonable. I got my first sub-6 avg12 three and a half months after getting my first pyraminx, so even if you don't improve quickly you should be good :)
