2019. What's yours going to be like?

[RuffRuffmcgruff]

1. Get a Mortgage, buy a house

2. Keep going the gym, an get even more swole

3. Max out my osrs account, this is probably the most important one on the list

4. Go back to Rome, so much i didn't see

5. Travel to new places, already got Benidorm, Munich booked

6. Same as 4, go back to New York. Watch the Nicks even though i'm not a Nicks fan, friend who i'm going with is, i love basketball.

7. Find a way to make money for no effort whatsoever, this has been an ongoing plan since 16. When i find out I'd be happy to sell it for a small fee of £350

8. Carry on owning the games and all the noobs

What kinda truck do you drive?  I'm in a Nissan Frontier Desert Runner almost done payin it off myself

[Silentprototipe]

Saving up about 2 grand and losing about 20 pounds of the 30ish I need to lose . Its mostly just trying to salvage the mess I made in 2018

Get outta high school

(Maybe sell off the junk filling my walk in closet)

[Hiya!]

I only have one goal.

Spoiler

 

[Jtalk4456]

1. Lose weight

2. Upgrade my home tech setup

3. Get my budgeting in order

4. Spend more of my time teaching my kids instead of just letting them play on their own

[aezakmi]

1. avoid death

[Crunchy Dragon]

The only regret I have about getting more into being fit is that I started on New Year's Day and that makes it seem a lot less legitimate of a thing than it really is. I've specifically been strength training, trying to build more muscle.

 

I'd like to build a new PC this year, probably Zen 2-based. I'll probably repurpose my current system as a streaming box/backup if I do that.

 

Getting games to stream to my laptop remotely(both on and off my home network) would be very nice to figure out, as I do hope to someday not have to lug my PC around to play games like Fortnite and Destiny 2.

I might have to take that deal, let me know once you've found it.

[Tog Driver]

Uh, I'd like to, umm, do something?

 

making actual plans makes it so much more depressing when they fail. . .

Wouldn't be hard to arrange. . .

[soldier_ph]

1: Learn more about Software Engineering, mainly I want to learn the LiveCode environment because I want to get into App developing.

2: Pass the exams for the first in English, or maybe if the exams are to easy for me and I can wait 4-5 years then just do the advanced (English Diploma)

[Zannah]

1) Figure out if my car is worth fixing, or buy a new one. 

 

2) Get out on a small solo vacation. 

 

3) Upgrade the graphics card on my computer, and buy a new chair. 

 

4) Pay off half my credit card

 

5) Lose even a little bit of weight. 

[zassou]

s. s. d.d.

 

same shit, different day. 

[Embroysia]

Here's my 2019:

• Talk my boyfriend into PC gaming 
• Finish 2 more semesters of nursing school
• Spend time with family and friends more
• Continue being happy and healthy

Not too much to ask for besides maybe converting the bf into PC life... 

[orbitalbuzzsaw]

1) Move back home

2) Get a job

3) Learn to drive

4) Get back to programming

[Bananasplit_00]

got a few goals i guess;

 

• Score higher than my previous best on the SWE SAT
• Get accepted into Uni - electrical engieering + masters is the plan
• Go on a motorbike trip to Norway or somewhere else in Europe
• Move out
• Get my Highschool diploma

guess thats about it? Four of them are all the same goal really though. 

[JoeCoke]

Pretty much the only goal for me is to finish the game I've been working on since 2014. Well and to drop the 30 pounds I gained last year, but that won't be hard.

Ya, been keeping it in my Amazon cart as a save for later item.  It keeps dropping to around 700.  

Hopefully, they weren't comparing you to this version...



I get compared to this version

Hahah Dear God I hope not...

I like to think it's more akin to this:

...I haven't been that fit in a very, very long time

However this year my goal is closer to this:

Which shouldn't be overly hard to accomplish. Plus that's about where my hairline is at now anyway.

 

Being compared to that version is definitely a compliment Unless the ladies (....men?) don't like beards?

1) get fit

2) lose weight because Christmas food too good 

3) stop spending money on useless stuff

4) compete in mtb events because I’m really good

5) study harder

7) get the courage to talk to the girls in my class. Especially my lab partner. 

 use less emojis

9) treat my back pain finally!!

10) no more energy drinks

Nice! I miss the mountains. Where I live now, none are near....so my 2 $7k mountain bikes sit in storage. Sadness. What area do you compete in? DH? XC?

Or have they come up with a whole new range of acronyms for them. I swear every 5 years they completely rename them. Like Enduro.

I might buy an exercise bike to keep my cardio up.

get more weight

idk, wait till it ends?

Haha, I think you're the only person I've seen say they need to gain more weight.
I, too, will be on the weight gain train. However it's to build muscle. I managed to lose the weight I wanted, but now I feel tiny...

I feel you on that one. I have been in an off and on long distance relationship with a girl I've known since elementary school but kind of lost contact with in high school since I moved. We got back into contact and into somewhat of a relationship over the last couple years. 

 

We share the same interests and her personality meshes well with mine. Only issue is that it's a long distance relationship, and while I'm pretty certain she remains committed to it, I'm less certain about its viability, hence me wanting to explore the waters locally. We're still trying to negotiate a time to meet up IRL for the first time in a decade, but her schedule is very hectic.

 

She isn't married ofc. No kids either. One year older than me.

 

It's all touch and go tbh. 

 

I guess I can add a real IRL meetup to my list of goals for the year. I may have to fly out to her area to facilitate that.

Somewhat of a relationship...would not be a good basis for moving in together. I mean, moving to the same city or something, sure. Otherwise one of you will feel somewhat obligated to stay, even if the feelings change. I'd say one or both of you have commitment issues, given it's been more than a year and neither of you have moved to be closer to the other. Haven't seen each other in a decade? Move on. Might want to do some deep thinking on that one, muchacho.

Jelly. I wish I could go to Rome. Well I mean I could, but I have other things my spare cash is earmarked for. Are houses expensive where you are?

I don't think there's really ways to make money with no effort at all...since finding such a thing already necessitates putting in effort

Losing weight is easy! Just eat somewhat right, do a little exercise, and boom. It'll come. Plus you're young, you probably have a killer metabolism.
Or, you could do what I do, and just be stressed the fuck out. That also causes weight loss.

I was going to say not dying would be an easy accomplishment, but I fear you might be going to high school in the US, so that's probably a much more significant challenge

Solid fourth goal. Do you plan on restricting screen time?

The best way to lose weight is to gain muscle

Nah! Days are meaningless. As long as you're committed you'll get there. Did you buy weights, or are you going to the gym?

 

I might go the Zen2 route as well! Have to wait and see how it does, what it's priced like...and what else I have on the go. I really want to ditch this MSI motherboard though, and grab one of those 38" ultrawide monitors.

If you don't make goals, how will you accomplish anything?
Start with some small, easy things and work your way up from there.

Like one of mine is to get my R-PAL. Which is just 2 8 hour courses.

Where's your vacay leading you? I want to take one too...but mine will also be me trying to (finally) clear out my storage locker.

For the love of God (and your back), don't get a cheap gaming chair

NIce! How far are you into your nursing degree? Are you going into a specialization?

Hmmm. From console? Just show him how cheap games are, and how affordable gaming PCs have become!

If all of his friends play on console it'll be a hard switch though.

Moving home is always tough. I mean, home cooked food, yay. But. Living with parentals. Not so yay.

Then again it all depends on how old you are.

Moving out is a pretty lofty goal. You wouldn't want to stay at home and go to university? I imagine that'd be much more affordable.

Though if money isn't that much of an issue, living somewhere else is a loooooot more fun

Damn son, get on that! I had a fellow manager who was in the same boat. His love was games, but he's been bouncing around management positions because they pay well in the mean time. All I can say is, no time like the present. Putting it off accomplishes nothing.

I recently dropped 40 pounds. Stoked to finally fit into my clothes again

Now time to bulk...and hopefully not drastically outgrow my shirts.
