Uh. Crud.
Was there a different thread for the simplistic, simple resolutions?

'Cos I didn't post any here.

[Silthuri]

Not the best results, and with Vector gone someone else will have to step up to make another one of these.

I'd like to make the next one. I'll have it up by tonight if there are no objections.

Go for it

[Shook]

Oh right, had forgotten all about this thread, let's see how i'm doing:

Spoiler: shookings (click to show/hide)

Green = DONE
Yellow = IN PROGRESS
Red = NOT STARTED
Black = FAILED
*asterisks* = NEW

1. Finish Angry Laser Space, or at least get it to 1.0. This bloody project has been in progress for over 4 years now, and i think it's about time to wrap it up as neatly as possible, so i can get going on other things.
Gotten VERY close, but hand pains prevented me from finishing.

2. Get into the habit of drawing something every day. Doesn't have to be anything specific or mindblowing, just SOMETHING so i can keep up the practice, be it digital or traditional.
Honestly thinking that i'm just going to abandon this one, because some days i just don't feel like drawing a thing, and i don't feel bad for that. Instead, i should rather focus on drawing a thing when i'm in that "i want to draw something but anxiety is crippling me" mojo, because THAT makes me feel bad. :v

3. Paint something with the acrylic paint (and canvas) that i got for my birthday. Something that isn't just a half-hearted leaf.
Done!!?!? This has made me realize that i MUCH prefer digital painting, because mixing colours is a pain in the arse.

4. Give someone in meatspace uncensored access to my deviantArt page, preferrably one of my immediate relatives. This may sound simple, but due to personal issues, is comparable in fear and difficulty of execution to russian roulette. It is most definitely the "all in" move of my life right now, and a bad result could have dreadful consequences for my psyche, while a good result could possibly result in me finally breaking the shackles cast upon me by my oppressors back in elementary school.
noooooope

5. Start talking to people over the intertoobs with my microphone. I am EXTREMELY SHY AND AWKWARD but my past experiences have been a lot of fun.
Nyet, although i haven't been feeling a huge need either.

6. A vague one: Try to stop caring so much about what others think. It goes hand in hand with my crippling lack of self-esteem, and is, in essence, what makes things like 3, 4 and 5 very hard to do.
Kind of, i guess? Therapy has been very helpful, but my brain keeps slipping back.

7. Get a hold of my sleeping rhythm. At the moment, if people didn't wake me up, it'd keep advancing all the time, and sleepytime is already WAY past midnight and approaching the next morning.
KIND OF had something going while i was studying, but then i dropped out and everything's back to "normal". Here's hoping 2016 will be better in that regard.

8. Try my hand at some kind of music-ing. I like listening to music too much to at least not try making some myself. :v
Nada.

9. Get a hold on my crippling lack of self-esteem.
Starting to feel a bit better about myself, so that's pretty cool.

10. Find out what i want/am to do with my life.
Still not sure, but at least i've found the next stepping stone, which is always something.

I'm using the BLACK COLOUR OF FAILURE because i failed to do those within 2015. Fortunately, the world hasn't ended yet, so i'm obviously going to keep them in mind this year as well. :v

My own personal key:
Not started
Done
Made decent progress
Not much progress
Absolutely terrible progress
Complete mess.

1. Anxiety depression. Get it under control. - I made pretty damn good progress in dealing with my mental issues, especially considering the hell my ex best friend put me through a few months ago. I finally found a medication that helps quite a bit, which helps a lot. I plan to progress further in this in 2016.
2. Be more social. Talk to people. Gain people skills necessary for my future career. - I managed to secure a position as secretary of a club and I'm developing some friendships with members of said club. I'm in a dnd group that's pretty awesome and I have a lot of fun with them.
3. Develop a healthier lifestyle. Exercise and eat healthier. - I've gained quite a bit of weight over the past year. I need to focus more on this in 2016.
4. Organize my life. Clean house and start getting my act together. - I haven't put any time into this at all.
5. 52 book challenge. Do it. - I didn't get anywhere near 52, but I think I made it to about 20, which is about 20 more than I read last year. I'm very satisfied with my progress here.
6. Take up the hobbies once more. Writing, calligraphy and maybe drawing. Try to develop skills in music.  - I haven't really had the time or desire to write. I have dabbled a bit in drawing. I haven't had the time to do much with music. 
7. Start paving the way for my future career. Get the GPA up where it should be. Tour the law school I want to attend. Save up money and apply for scholarships. Start putting some hours in clubs and volunteer work to build a good resume. Make myself stand out more to my professors so that I’ll have options if I need references. - My GPA isn't that great. I haven't been able to set up a tour for the law school. I will, however, be joining a club specifically for pre-law students, so that would be pretty nice. I'm going to work on my friendship with my professors, since most of those I have this semester know me from previous classes.
8. Become more informed on what’s going on in the world today. - What year is it again?
9. Practice my religion and make my claim to belong to it more than just words. - Outwardly, little has changed, but my inner thinking has and that's what really counts, yeah?
10. Care about how I look. Instead of complaining how I don’t like it, change. Wear clothes that flatter me and care about my hair and such. - Haven't really thoght about this at all. I did change how I care for my hair that seemed to help.
11. Write in my journal once a day. Make this as much for my mental health as well as forcing myself to write something every day. - I wrote like... five entries.
12. Yoga and meditation. Increase mindfulness to help with other behemoths and life challenges.- Yeah... no...
13. Watch my finances. Start keeping check on my account balance and spending my money wisely. - I sort of have to watch my finances. I don't make that much...
14. That thing. Stop it. You know what it is. - Thing effectively stopped. Congrats, me.
 

Yeah... 2015 wasn't a good year for me... I hope I can do better this year. Now... to decide what to put on my list...

[miauw62]

Early 2015 was about as bad as 2014 for me, but then I got therapy and I went to my first con and started playing mtg so really, it was a good year and I got stuff done even if it's pretty immaterial. Looking to be the first year in a line of good years, also.

I didn't make a list but I considered doing it. It'd have had silly things I'd never get done on it anyway, such as the fact that "get a gf" would probably have been present.

[wobbly]

Of five goals I have only completed one--I have a very good GPA!

Woo?

Hey as long as it was 1 of the important 1s good achievement right?

Me I set no real goals, so can happy announce I achieved 3 out of zero goals!

[Caz]

o-o I forgot this was a thing. Oh man, guess I should tally up stuff.


...And I actually did ok. Well, pretty bad on the actual 'successes' but I can at least say I tried with as much effort as possible. A weirdly challenging year, but I learned some good lessons. I therefore present this award to myself and anyone else in the thread who did.
