6x6: sub 2:30 global average I practiced quite a bit but I'm not even sub 2:40
7x7: sub 4:15 global average I might actually be this fast, I just don't have a good cube to motivate me to practice
Megaminx: Sub 1:05 global average, NR average galaxy saved the day
Square-1: sub 15 global average yeah at one point
Clock: get back to what I averaged in 2013, sub 8.5 official average lolno

I failed almost all of my resolutions from last year so time to change a bit

2x2: Stop using a WitTwo, again - lost an edge piece
3x3: Sub-12, learn full OLL - sub-13, nope
3x3OH: Sub-30, learn some OH PLLs - welp
4x4: Sub-1 - welp
5x5: Sub-3 - far from it
SQ-1: Learn to speedsolve - nope

Non-cubing goals:
Be better at losing weight - something i actually did!
Get better grades - nope
Become LE rank in CSGO - lul
Learn to use Blender and Skyrim Creation Kit - nope

Goals (some might be a bit of a stretch):
2x2: sub 2.5, stop being lazy and learn CLL (EG if possible) no, yes (including EG-1 minus sunes/antisunes)
3x3: sub 9 lol what was I thinking
4x4: sub 45 or lower depending on how much I practice yes, almost sub-40!
3BLD: sub 2 or lower depending on how much I practice lol
OH: sub 17 or lower depending on how much I practice no, around 17
FMC: Learn insertions yes, not that it made a difference
Feet: lol
Megaminx: sub 1 yes
Pyraminx: sub 3.5 consistently lololol
Square-1: sub 15 (lol) no, but it didn't help that my square-1 was broken for half the year
Skewb: sub 3.5, finish learning NS v2 lolololol

Others:
Get a 5x5, 6x6, 7x7 and clock 5x5 yes
Complete all events (at home) no
Get skewb and pyraminx NRs (hopefully I don't screw up my only chance) lololololololol

IRL:
Practise piano enough to get an ATCL yes (preparing for ATCL)
Don't screw up in Math and Music in school exams because of nerves yes
Do reasonably well in everything else

3x3, Pyra and Skewb were epic fails but other goals were mostly fulfilled

2x2: sub-6 avg (now at low 8.x), learn EG-1, and Guimond properly no, around 6.5, no EG-1, no Guimond
3x3: sub-22 avg (now at 28-29s), learn full CMLL (know half of it) yes, around 21-21.5, no full CMLL yet
OH: practice some yes, I like it, averaging around 35 now
4x4: sub-2:15 avg yes, but 2 days ago I would have said no
5x5: sub-4:30 avg no, I've done like 12 solves in total, and best was 7-8 minutes
Megaminx: sub-4:30 avg yes I guess, I averaged like 4 minutes... but then stopped practicing
Skewb: learn how to solve it yes, but I stopped practicing at May, I was sub-16, today I've relearned Skewb
Pyraminx: just learn no, not tried
3BLD: sub-2:30 no, I tried, but no even close to a success
MBLD: 2/2 lol no

Go to a comp yes

Teach my niece how to solve a 2x2 no, mission impossible
