Don't have any resolutions apart from making my Youtube videos better so that more people can watch and like my videos and I can entertain them from time to time and make them smile :)

Goals:
3x3: Average sub 9 consistently (Little far fetched but I will try. Sub 10 for sure)
4x4: Start practicing again and get sub 40
5x5: Start practicing and sub 1:30 consistently.
Maybe learn some other events, I don't know

►Some other goals
Learn BLD in summer vacation.
Start OH if I can
Get internships and pass top of my class in the exams in Feb/March
Get better laptop, mic and gear.
Hold NR record for 3x3 atleast.

I guess thats it.
Thank you for reading :)

I've never once done well with goals, but we'll see.

Cubing:
Learn lots of ZBLL. I'm already basically done with T. I've got like 8 algs left.

IRL:
Improve my video skills as much as possible. I've already seen huge improvement from last year to now, so I'd like to keep it going.

3OH: Sub-30 official average

5x5: get an average (rip 2012 cutoffs)

6x6 & 7x7: get an average

regards to podiums: 3rd again at something (kill myself if it's 2nd or first)
 
2x2: Learn EG, solve it more than 10 times a week
3x3: sub 15, full CMLL, learn CFOP just because
4x4: sub 1 min, actually practice
5x5: solve it more than once a month, sub 3 min
6x6 and beyond: get one
piraminx: sub 6? I still dont have one so no idea how fast I can get.

Go to a comp SOMEHOW
 
Having started in May 2015, here are my goals for next year.

2x2: Sub 4, perhaps learn CLL.
Currently averaging ~4.6 with Ortega

3x3: Sub 15 global average at least and look into Roux.
Currently averaging ~ 18 with Fridrich

4x4: Learn Yau, sub 1:15
Currently averaging ~ 1:35 with Redux

5x5: Practise, Get an official average

6x6 and 7x7: Get one maybe

Pyra: Learn 1-flip or something, sub 5 perhaps
Currently averaging ~ 6.5 with LBL

Skewb: Just keep practising, sub 8 official average
Currently averaging ~ 8.5 with a variation of Sarah's Beginner

OH: Sub 40, actually turn well
Currently averaging ~ 45

Sq-1: Sub 40 perhaps
Currently averaging ~ 55
Feet: Do it at least once

BLD: Try to learn it

Clock: no

Most of these are moderately attainable, but I'm sure I won't get all of them.

  • Finish my profile (5BLD success)
  • Top 100 in MBLD (9 points currently, 10 seems safer)
  • 24 FMC single, 27 FMC mean
  • Organize a successful Nationals :)
 
Goals:
  • Sub-4 on 2x2
  • Sub-12 on 3x3
  • Sub-50 on 4x4

  • Sub-5:00 on 7x7
  • 3.3 avg on Pyra

  • Sub-20 on Square-1
  • 5-ish avg on Skewb
  • Switch to M2 on 3BLD; 1:30-1:45 avg
  • 4BLD success (which will likely happen before 2016)
  • 5BLD success
  • 8-10 MBLD, 100%
  • Care enough about OH to get sub-30
  • Maybe practice Clock and get sub-20
  • Sub-2:00 feet avg
  • Sub-40 FMC single (so lame)
  • Learn full COLL
  • Learn a decent amount of ZBLL
  • Learn some sort of OLL skip method; maybe VLS or Winter Variation?

OH sub 30. Maybe learn PLLs for OH( I said maybe)
FMC get into it.
finish the remaining 38% of ZBLL as fast as is humanly possible. Then maybe CLL for 2x2 and 4x4 algs and maybe some ZBLS for bad cases. look into learning ZBLL for OH, or maybe ZB-with phasing for OH.
Go to lots of comps around oz. And New Zealand Nats( which should totally be in wellington to make it easier for cubers in oz to come).
Podium in 3x3 at OZ Nats 2016
Get NR records in 3X3 single and average using ZB. 4x4 NR.

Competition-wise: Compete in more events, go to more competitions if the opportunity is presented (maybe persuade parents to go to US Nats since it's on the west coast), podium in events that people actually care about, and stop getting nervous in BLD and actually getting good times and hopefully a mean
