This is a thread for sharing what you would like to accomplish or achieve in your cubing career before you quit. Examples of a few things you might want to do may include breaking a certain barrier (i.e. sub 20 on 3x3), learning a large set of algorithms (i.e. ZBLL), expanding your collection of cubes, buying a certain cube (i.e. Moyu 13x13), growing your youtube channel, travelling abroad for a large competition (i.e. US Nationals), meeting a famous cuber, or even setting a record!

I'll go first!

Before I quit cubing, I hope to:
- attend a competition somewhere other than Ottawa, probably Toronto, ideally somewhere cool like US Nats 2017
- start a club at my school and organize a competition
- meet Bill Wang, Eric Limeback, Harris Chan, Ray Vince Ong, and the other cool and fast people who live in Ontario who I haven't met yet
- meet a few of my roux method brothers (Kavin, Jules, Adam, and Alex maybe but that would be a longshot)
- grow my youtube channel so that it is large enough that I can inspire and encourage a large group of people to experiment with different methods, specifically roux, and not to always go with the majority
- lastly, to get some record, either NR/NAR/WR, I don't really care which event but I like to think it is obvious which event it would be if it ever happens

Have fun and enjoy!

-Be Sub-10 on 3x3
-Own more than 100 puzzles
-Start a YouTube channel that has cubing-related content
-Meet some famous cubers
-Get at least a NR on at least one event
-Participate in all WCA events
-Go to many, many competitions
-Host a competition or two

Seems like alot to accomplish, but why not give it a shot.

My bucket list:
- Top 5 officially for 2x2
- podium at US nationals
- Go to a worlds competition not in the US
- organize a competition
- Podium in 3x3 at any comp
-4 and 5BLD success officially
-sub 8 official 3x3 average
- learn all 2x2 alg sets

Cool thread!
 
- Get 100,000 subscribers (or more, of course) on YouTube
- Do every event officially
- Have a full WCA profile, which involves:
- Getting a WR (preferably Pyraminx)
- Getting a CR and NR (some non-North American'll have to beat me in Pyraminx, lol)
- Go to another U.S. Nationals
- Learn some algs; maybe Megaminx PLL?
- Enjoy cubing throughout my time with it, and stop or cube less when (or if) it's no longer fun (kind of a weird goal, but I don't like to feel obligated to continue stuff if I don't enjoy it)
- Stay friends with my cubing buddies (and maybe make more friends too), even if we're no longer cubing

Eh, if I don't accomplish all of these, it doesn't matter that much to me. They'd be cool though.
 
Similar to goals thread, but longer term I guess.

Bucket list: (might update as I get better)
Set world records in OH (single or average, either would be insane, both would be preferred[at the same time]).
Become fastest 2H/OH/Feet ZZ solver in the world at some point.
Set the first official sub-9/8/7 average with 2H ZZ and first official sub-6/5 single(all would be nice).
Set the first official sub-12/11/10 average with OH ZZ and first official sub-9/8/7 single(all would be nice).
Set the first official sub-1:00+beyond Feet Single and Average with ZZ.
Set a CR in feet (NR works too).
Get good at BLD, 2x2 and FMC (and Feet, 3x3, and OH duh), maybe top 1000 in single and average.
Attend a Worlds.
Be world champion in OH and Feet at the worlds I go to (or at least podium).
Organize an competition and keep it going annually for a couple years.
Keep cubing for years to come, if not competitively then with a sustained average.
Teach someone how to solve a cube and get them sub-20.
(Maybe actually start a youtube channel and teach ZZ and other stuff; get at least 1k subs?)

Whats life without a little ambition?

1. Median or better rank worldwide in at least one event, preferably 4x4.
2. Get a gigaminx
3. Get gigaminx adopted as an official WCA event.
4. Have official averages in all WCA events, except maybe clock, pyraminx, and 2x2.
 
1. average sub 30 for 3BLD and get a sub 20 single
2. get good at other events
3. sub 12 on 3x3 would be nice, but I probably won't
