Ok you don't have to read this all but I found it funny how on my last one, the comments about the event had really changed.


2x2 - Upgrade CLL algs and one look average sub 3 mid to high 2s, so I can compete with the cool kids.
3x3 - beat my official 6.82, average sub 8.8 global and get sub 9 average in comp. always the event to practice.
4x4 - Average sub 33, get some podiums and get good. Get serious with this some more (ambitious goal
5x5 - practice every now and then and average sub 1:15 just based off my other events doing well. It's fun but i don't seem to see myself practising too often.
6x6 - well I dunno if I'll do this much, maybe just to get good official averages. Average sub 2:45 and in comp too
7x7 - average sub 4:15 just practise a little to get there, i dunno if you will do that little practice
Square one - since you're tryinga get good at side events, do a little practice and average sub 18 for that sor.
Skewb, get a good comp average because almost worst event rankings wise, get sub 6 average and ya know, average sub 6
Mega - uuuhhh, mega? If you find yourself practising, then get sub 1:25 averages
Clock - nahh, just average sub 20, same goal as last year cuz clock.
Pyra - ooh, now I want to one look more often, get sub 3.6 official averaeg and maybe go for OcR, sub 2 single would be nice but 2.5 is good enough. PODIUM AT NATIONALS THIS TIME. Globally average sub 3.8 thanks.
OH - average sub 15 i mean that's pretty hard but doing 3x3 will help so
Feet - if you go to a comp with it then get good, but for now get a single under 2:30, same as last time. You don't even touch feet.
FMC - get good official single lol actually PRACTICE do like 15+ solves this year, and average sub 40.
BLD - ooo now THIS IS THE BIG ONE... Average sub 35 and use full corner comms and edge comms hmm learn them but dont have to have perfected them yet. Sub 35 in comp and a mean pls.
4BLD - learn comms for centres and wings, just learn the stuff and go for sub 5 :O, get the success (and podium) at all Australian competitions including nationals (easy podium boiz) average sub 6.
5BLD - Do this a little and average sub 10, get a sub 10 official single. Learn some stuff but don't need to be big on this. See if you can get the podium at nats cuz hard to do this officially.
MBLD - Get 20+ at home and 18+ officially, get nearer to that OcR and podium at nationals and all other comps plz (unless good people go) average like at least 20 cubes in an hour and 15 point accuracy for a normal attempt.

For real now, get a girlfriend. Any tips?

That's the wrong way to think about it. Expand your friend base. Have friends who are girls. Eventually, you'll meet someone where you both think, hey I like spending time with this person. But if your whole goal is 'I need to get a girlfriend', it won't end the way you want it to. It's not something you can make happen. Or at least it shouldn't be.
