#PastebinMonday 12/31/18

Last #PastebinMonday of 2018 PepeHands, but it's the most important one. I'm gonna be going over my goals in every aspect in my life, as well as what I have accomplished this year, so this might take a while, but here we go:

What I Have Accomplished In 2018:
1. Learned and became a top player in Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland, which is the first game I've taken seriously
2. Expanded on my skills as an Artist, Programmer, Musician.
3. Have been able to work with amazing people in the speedrunning community
4. Got my license

	I haven't really done as much as I would have liked to, because this year has kinda sucked, but that's fine. 2019 I'm really gonna start pushing the petal to the metal and get my life going in the way I want it to go.

What I Want To Accomplish In 2019:
SPEEDRUNNING:
1. Become proficient in at least 2 more speedgames.
	I want to be a top runner in three speedgames, and will be going for World Record in each category. Because I'm a moron, every game I choose to run is decided by www.speedrunwr.com because I don't know how to make my mind up
2. Learn as many speedruns as I can.
	This doesn't necessarily mean be able to play them, but just know what is going on when. I don't really have a specific number for this, but I will be pushing for Super Mario 64, Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past especially. My main goal is to be able to become knowledgable enough to be able to flawlessly commentate every category of these games, because I enjoy doing commentary way too much for some reason.
3. Attend PACE and SGDQ 2019.
	This one is pretty simple, but I'm now able to go places and do things, so I just need to make my parents let me go to both of them, and I'm super excited for this.
4. Host a Mario Kart Wii Time Trials Tournament.
	This is something I've wanted to do for a little while now, and I'm finally going to have the resources to be able to. Just a simple tournament that I hope will expand the amazing Mario Kart Wii Tournament
5. Achieve 250 Gold Stars in Mario Kart Wii CTGP Revolution
	This is the goal that every Mario Kart Wii player wants to achieve, beating every expert challenge that Mr. Bean and his crew set out for us, and I want to achieve that live on stream this year. First I'll play through and beat the beginner challenges offline first, so the boring part is out of the way.
6. Consistently produce speedrunning YouTube content.
	I'm not quite sure about what this will consist of, but I definitely want to try it out.

MUSIC:
1. Write an album's worth of songs.
	I've taken great strides as a songwriter this year, and I want to be able to have 20 songs completely written with every part to them. I don't have the resources to produce it myself, but just having 20 songs written would be great for me, as most of my work has just been either messing around with riffs or writing words down in a journal that could go well, but this seems like a reasonable goal.
2. Learn how to play as many songs as possible on Guitar.
	This one I also don't have a direct number for, but this mainly consists of being able to hear a song, and then immediately know what chords, notes, or time signature a song is in. This is definitely going to be difficult, but if I can easily cover any song, that would make me feel so happy.
3. Play at least 5 days a week
	This is how I'm going to be able to improve quickly, and it seems very reasonable. I'm hoping to shoot for everyday, but we will see.

PROGRAMMING:
1. Just get better.
	I don't really have a goal for this, as I'm not really sure what the future consists of this. I do want to work on something daily, and I'm sure I can find projects or something, but I just want to improve for the most part.

LIFE:
1. Go to sleep before midnight as much as possible
	Sleep is important, and I didn't get too much in 2018. Let's change that.
2. Schedule every day, and stick to that schedule
	Now that I can drive myself places, I have more responsibility, as well as more freedom over my life. I want to take this freedom and fully schedule my life out, because I work better under this type of structure. This means to use a daily calendar, and write down what times I will be doing things when, and sticking to them. I basically just want to get into a routine, and stick to it.
3. Get work done as soon as possible, without overdoing it.
	One of my worst problems is that I'm the worst procrastinator, and I need to stop that. I plan on doing work as soon as it is assigned to me, but in regulation. If I've done 4 hours of work, and nothing else, then I'm gonna put it aside for a little while so I can do something that I enjoy. This will be possible with my new schedule.
4. Work out daily.
	This one is pretty self-explanatory. I need to work out, and I plan on doing so every single day. This consists of either going to the gym, or any sports practice or game that I would be apart of.
5. Journal.
	I want to be able to keep track of my days, thoughts, feelings, moods, and experiences. This means writing a lot of stuff down. Every idea, dream, or thought that pops into my head I want in a journal somewhere.
6. Get Straight A's.
	AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA this is gonna be super difficult, but I can do it if I put in the work AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
7. Get into a good college.
	Not some Crappy Carlos's Community College school. A good school, like a Lehigh, or a Tufts, or a Hopkins, or a CMU, or a UT Austin, or a UVA, or a Notre Dame. Some school where I can be me, and a place that will make me a better person in every aspect of my life.
8. Enjoy life.
	2018 sucked. Let's make 2019 not suck. Thanks for reading everyone <3
