333: Learn a few more tricks (WV, CPLLs), sub 9.5 global average, a few official sub 10 averages + maybe get back NR single
444: sub 40
555-777 + megaminx: just practice a bit
OH: 17 global average
clock: NRs and a sub 10 official avg

Attend at least 4 comps

IRL: Successfully finish 1st year of uni, keep playing basketball as much as possible, keep working out at the gym,.....

All of the cubing goals above are pretty ambitious since IRL stuff is currently a priority and is consuming most of my time and energy, but I should get at least a few.
 
2x2: Learn EG-1 sub 2.7
3x3: sub 11
4x4: sub 50
5x5: sub 1:50
6x6: sub 3:20
7x7: sub 5:00
OH: sub 25
Pyraminx: sub 6
Megaminx: sub 2
Clock: sub 10
Square 1: sub 25
FMC: sub 33 mean
3bld: sub 3:00
Multiple: 5+ cubes
4bld: get a sucsess
Feet: Do it

Get Top 300 Sun of ranks
 
I usually don't do well with year-long goals, as the time frame is really wide. So let's try this instead.
Within the next week: learn the last of my PLLs.
By January: clean/ lube/ tune-up old Maru 4x4. Right now it barely turns, and I can't enjoy 4x4 when my 4x4 doesn't work.
Within the next two months: learn real EOLine and stop using the somewhat noobish 2-look EOLine.
By spring: learn Ortega for 2x2.
At some point, learn how to solve a 5x5 (I've never even touched a 5x5).
I'm not going to make speed a goal, but with how I've been progressing, I'll likely reach sub-30 soon, and if I put more work into it I can definitely be into sub-20 territory this year. :)

IRL goals: won't go into detail here, but a lot of stuff pertaining to music writing, music performance, and college preparedness. Woo-hoo.
 
2x2: nah
3x3: sub-12?
4x4: sub 1 by SG open 2015
5x5: no particular goals. Just watch this event get faster because of 6x6.
6x6: NRs
7x7:no particular goals. Just watch this event get faster because of 6x6.

OH: learn full ZBLL-U (to be used on big cubes and 2H as well)
FMC: learn commutators by SG open 2015, NRs
Feet: get 1 single in WCA and have my legs hurt for days.
BLD: learn actual M2 and learn actual parity stuff and Memorise the letter scheme.

Real life: do decently for exams.
Survive living in a hostel for a year.
