2x2: Sub-2, learn EG-1, and hopefully EG-2
Real Life stuffs
Get better at cello
Get better at swimming
Stop being a lazy *** at Chinese school
Get better at not failing in math comps
Be more social
Try not to get sucked into LoL
Stop procrastinating

WTF this is me only piano and violin instead of cello. Like it's completely me. Except your cubing goals are faster.
I call hacks. He's reading my mind. Or maybe it's an Asian thing. Math comps, string instruments, socializing, chinese school, and LoL. Although swimming not so much.

Cubing:
3x3: Sub 9 single (still need sub 10 though)
4x4: Sub 48 avg
5x5: I dont think i'll be able to beat my current comp PBs for a while, but I guess my goal will be to try and beat them :D
6x6: sub 3:30 mean
7x7: Actually get a mean for once :p
OH, Pyraminx, Skewb: idc, just get comp PBs

Real life:
Learn to get girls
Become as strong as Mike Kotch (not srs, but become stronger)
