3x3- Sub 8.5 avg, sub 7 single
4x4: Sub 39 avg
OH: Sub 17 avg
Skewb: Sub 3.89 avg

Halifax Open Spring Goals:

2x2: Sub 3.5 (or 3, wishful thinking) avg, Sub 2 single
3x3: Sub 10 avg, Sub 8 single
4x4: Sub 42 avg, Sub 38 single
Pyraminx: Sub 4 avg, Sub 3 single
Skewb: Sub 5 avg, Sub 4 single

Square-1: Sub 20 avg, Sub-16 single
3BLD: Mean: Success, Sub 4 single
3x3 OH: Sub 16 avg, Sub 14 Single

Most of these goals are probably a tad over ambitious but oh well. I mostly just want a Sub 10 3x3 average, decent 2x2 and square-1 averages, and some decent results in BLD for once as a bonus.

Also:

Sum of Ranks avg (Canada): Rank top 5
Sum of Ranks single (Canada): decrease value by over 100 points (but don't really care)

Sum of Ranks avg (World): Show up in the top 300 somewheres
Sum of Ranks single (World): top 300

3x3 MBLD: 10/10 sub 1 hour / N/A / State Record and Podium

Some of the events I am pretty optimistic about and I hope to get the goal, (although I am not positive on them), and some of the other events, I can get the above goals if I get the same times that I am getting right now. I guess for now I will practice until the competition and I will update this once the comp is over.
Well almost everything was a fail at the competition except for 5x5 BLD in which I got a success and first place. Hopefully the next comp is better.
 
Oops, sorry for the double post.

Some goals that I would really like to get before the end of this year would be to get an official success in the last 3 events that I need (4x4 BLD, 3x3 MBLD, and 3x3 FMC), and also get an official success mean in the last 2 events that I need which are (7x7 and 3x3 FMC)
If I can get these goals, then I will be a Bronze/Silver WCA member, which is my biggest goal for this year, but I think that I might have to wait until next year.

Edit: I just realized that I have not yet gotten a mean in 3x3 BLD and 6x6, so with these and 7x7, and 3x3 FMC, that is 4 events that I need a mean in.

How can you have a 5 but not a 4 BLD success
@joshsailscga is right in regards to me DNFing all 3 4x4 BLD attempts. The competition had both 4 and 5 BLD, so I just messed up 4x4 BLD. But that should be a little easier to get eventually then 5x5 BLD. I also almost had a 4x4 BLD success, except I mixed 1 letter pair up on wings, and forgot to do the corner parity alg.
