Link to last year's thread: http://www.mlbppworld.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10124

Starting this thread a bit early so I can make fun of myself for being JUST OVER .500 for the third year in a row (by just over .500 I mean I literally was as close to being .500 as possible once again)

In 2014, I went 3 for 5; in 2015, I went 4 for 7; this year, I was 6 for 11. My resolutions from last year are pasted below with a bit of commentary. I'll have my resolutions for 2017 up in a bit.

SCHOOL
— Make it through the final semester of HS (Success! Made it out alive, did pretty well in all my classes, made some more friends, etc.)
— And the first semester of college (Success! Made it out alive (barely), got a decent but not-too-great GPA, made a ton of friends, etc.)

SPORTS
— Score at least once in a basketball game (Failure! I don't think I scored a single point all season, oops)
— Pitch at least once in baseball (Success! Actually got to pitch twice in my HS season, and I even joined the club team in college)
— Get on base at least once in baseball (Failure! I improved my batting a lot, but I haven't hit since the first day of fall practice, so I don't know how rusty I'm going to be this spring)

PROJECTS
— Complete at least one writing project (Hide, Don’t Seek/Nick’s Village/The Uncool Kid/etc.) (Failure! As usual, I started some new projects, gave up on others, and pretty much just kept getting stuck halfway through everything)
— Finish/release at least three mixtapes/musical projects (Success! I had a really good year musically, including the release of my biggest and most successful project to date, LIGHTBULB, as well as some other singles and minor projects, such as my "SPOOKY SONGS" and "lo-fi garbage" EPs and my short-lived "weekly wave" series. I'm excited for what 2017 will bring for me in the music world!)
— Keep RPG #10 going all year (Failure! Really thought I was going to get this one too, but I lost pretty much all motivation to write around Thanksgiving and still haven't really gotten it back...)

PERSONAL
— Grow my Ethika collection to at least 10 pairs (currently at 5) (Success! I'm up to, like, 30-40 pairs at this point, I'm kind of obsessed)
— Lose weight (Current 179.2, goals: 170, 160, 150) (Success! Lost a few pounds from all the walking/playing baseball/trying to watch what I eat, then dropped another 15 from getting sick and now I'm hovering around 160!)
— Read at least 50 books in 2016 (signed up for a Goodreads account to track my progress) (Failure! I'm currently at 20 books read with five days left, so that's not going to happen)



also nice prediction @ me

ok here are the Official AgentP Resolutions

I'm doing things a bit differently this year, I've only made 5 total resolutions but with 3 goals apiece (a "low" or easily achievable goal, a "medium" or somewhat challenging goal, and a "high" or extreme goal). Ideally, I would like to complete at least half of my goals and I'd like to fully achieve at least one of the five resolutions as well.

— Goal 3: Increase squat + bench max to 150 pounds

Resolution 2: Improve grades *Current GPA is 2.9*
— Goal 1: Maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA for freshman year
— Goal 2: Maintain a 3.5 cumulative GPA through 1st semester of sophomore year

SPORTS
-Make it to the state tournament Nope, lost by 5 in the semifinal to the team that eventually made it.
-Play in the D5 All-Star game Accomplished this, and it was a blast
-Make it onto the basketball team at UW-La Crosse Nope, since they were conference champs last year their recruiting was much easier and they had 40 Freshmen/Sophomores try out for 3 spots on the roster. I'm kinda missing basketball but I still play at the rec pretty much everyday and I'm in a men's league + doing intramurals. Could prolly transfer somewhere smaller next year and play, but I like the school I'm at a lot too and don't want to move. I'm a little conflicted. We'll see what happens.

SCHOOL
-Finish up HS with a 4.0 Cake
-Get closer to finding out what I want to do when I graduate Yep, looking into criminal justice or something

LIFE
-Enjoy being a kid for 6 more months Had a blast this summer, also realized how much I love fishing so I got to fish a lot this summer.
-Meet some new friends at college Made 2 really good friends, also met quite a few other people
-Continue to acquire currency Yeet $$

I'll post next years later on... Also young LGM is hilarious in last years thread

and Skittles is so done with everybody's shit lmao

also 6 for 8 dude nice

I didn't have any last year and i typically don't make resolutions but my goals for this year are:

-Weigh 190 lbs by the end of the year (I'm currently about 165)
-Go to and play at a D1 school
-Throw a perfect game
-Bat .500
-Make this girl who I like my girlfriend
Just be a better overall person

Here are my resolutions. I don't make many, but why the heck not?

-Upload more YouTube videos. I kinda lost a lot of motivation to make YouTube videos, but maybe that spark will come back, since I'm in a student film RSO.
-Get a girlfriend. Because why not?
-Do the dishes more.
-Get scholarships for the next school year.
