[nlCuber22]

New Years Resolutions:

1) Get sub 25 on 3x3 (Currently around 35s)
2) Get sub 2:30 on 4x4 (Currently around 3:15)
3) Learn how to solve 5x5
4) Get some DIYs and other cubes (only got ES sets and storeboughts)
5) Make some custom cubes (3x4x5, evil twin, siamese, octagonal, fisher, mirror) <--- All of em!
6) Get faster on the 2x2, dont care how fast.
7) Find a way to set up my camera so I can take videos over the shoulder
8) Keep on making my storebought the best there is! (Its seriously GREAT)

Anywho, thats all I can think of at this point for cubing resolutions.

Be nice

I think I'll also go with be nice.

sub13 average in comp.

This is more of a goal than a resolution, but it's all good (that last part was me trying to be nice).

Not really resolutions, more like goals, but oh well...

- Sub 2 single on 5x5
- Sub 3.5 average of 12 on 2x2
- Sub 1 single on magic (current PB is 1.00)
- Sub 2 average on megaminx
- Sub 16 consistently on 3x3
- Sub 1 single non lucky on 4x4
- umm... Dont get flamed with next goal/resolution
- 1 more sub 10 solve on 3x3
- Practise piano more
- Get at least 1 3x3 BLD sucess
- Maybe get another Rubik's Clock, and get a 3/3 clock multiBLD
- Sub 7:20 average on 7x7 (I fail)

I would say that I'd like to be more social when I'm around people I don't know well, but there's no way I'd be able to fix that within a year. The past few years, I've grown much more quiet and most of my best friends are only ones that I had from a long while ago...

I would like to start getting sub 20 avg of 12 pretty consistently though. That seems reasonable. I get a good amount of avg of 5, time for twelve

Maybe even lower if I can.

EDIT: Accomplished this already... how about sub 16?

 

[kjcellist]

Hmm...

1. Maintain my 4.6 GPA!
2. Sub-30 average of 100 for 3x3
3. Learn another method for 2x2 (just using fridrich)

To no longer be at the mercy of a 12 second cross solve!

Hmm...

1. Maintain my 4.6 GPA!
2. Sub-30 average of 100 for 3x3
3. Learn another method for 2x2 (just using fridrich)

Not to take you down, but given you extremely high GPA, you are probably planning on attending a very nice school in the future.

Just keep in mind that many if not all prestigious colleges do not care AT ALL about you weighted GPA. If you are ABLE to apply there in the first place, then chances are most of the other students are in the same boat as you.

When i was a freshman, many students were heartbroken their weighted GPA's from highschool weren't taken into account, only their unweighted.

Just keep it in mind, but other wise GREAT JOB!!!!!

1. Make lots of money (for a 12-year old with no allowance, that is)
2. Expand my puzzle collection.. ALOT.
3. Hmm.. Sub-25 consistently. (40~ with F2L)
4. Plan out all the puzzles I plan on ordering, and get stickers for said puzzles ahead of time or when I get them.
5. Practice consistently or at least frequently.
6. Organize and set-up a place to keep all my puzzles and stickers organized and clean.
7. Go to more competitions.
