    What do all of you have planned for 2014? What is happening in the next year of your life? Let us know here, whether it's good or bad.

    For me, a lot of happening in 2014, kinda. In April, I'm heading all the way to Seattle to meet up with the admin Ashe, and we'll be attending a con in the city together. (It's called Sakura con, lemme know if you're also going to be there one of the days)

    So basically a lot of things will be happening for me since I've never been on a plane or out of the country. It's scary to be but I'll have to get used to it and man up about it. I can always bring my 3DS.

    A bit more pointless, but I'm going to be completing the full National dex. Not just planning to either, I will. I will literally not stop playing until it's 100% complete. It will make me feel pretty proud as it's not something the average player will do. I'm also gona get way in to shiny hunting to start breeding for shiny starters and more.

    I plan to remain on Lake Valor all of 2014 too, still doing work to improve the site for you guys.

    I plan to try and stay alive again. It worked out pretty good for 2013. Besides that, probably nothing remarkable at all.

    I think 2014 will be pretty fun but also stressful D: Like Achromatic said, we plan to go to an anime convention in my city. That will probably be the most fun of the year XD

    I'm also planning on getting a job this year + moving out. I've been doing freelance graphic stuff for a while but I want a real job. I've been putting off getting one because I don't want to do graphic design (what I have my degree in). No matter where the job, any income is good for now. Have to start out somewhere xD Hopefully I can make enough to move out!

    Nothing special - other than going to more football games with my uncle at the stadium. Any team that comes to play we will see, my uncle said that when ever we get a chance to see Seattle Sounders FC that we will try and go.

    I also plan on spending more time with family and travelling more with family as well, planning out trips for the summer - I already have experience driving in other cities and states

    On less important point - not to miss any episodes of XY series & completing Pokédex in XY, and getting WiFi at my home to battle online or trade online.

    I'd recommend a year or at least six months of mostly saving. When I moved out in 2010 I saved up for a full year before that and in the end had around 3k just for moving out, which was enough for first months rent immediately, initial bills, some new things, damage deposit, and it really saved a headache. The job I had wasn't even fantastic pay either. It will definitely be more comfortable with at the least 6 months of full on working and saving.

    Well, I plan on getting my flight hours done so that I can get a Private Pilots License in 2015. That's.... about it xD

    I'm switching from a Middle School to High School in 2014. :) That'll probably be the highlight of the year for me. Tbh though, that would probably make my life really hectic. (._.)

    I also plan on doing some shiny hunting, go in-depth about writing, try to learn how to do more sprites/make banners, and yeah. :D I will also still be planning on playing music, since I've already been playing it for 10 years, so why stop now when I'm actually enjoying it? I might as well go for my 11th year! :D

    And of course, I'll still be active and recruiting members. ouo

    2014 will be the second half of my junior year and the first half of my senior year. And I'll be turning 21.

    I just need to raise my GPA and get a job and an internship in 2014. The studying part should, in theory, be easy since I have no social life but I procrastinate like crazy. This past finals week I waited until the day the final was due to start doing it (all of my finals were writing essays). Job and internship part will be the hardest since I have no previous job experience and no marketable skills. Woo.

    I also hope to buy a bike and a pair of Nike running shoes and learn how to work out next year.

    I'll be transitioning to my senior year, which means a ton of homework (4 AP classes)... Other than that, same old, same old

    Well, next year I'll be heading off to middle school. I was told that I was nominated for English Honors, which I was happy to hear, and I'll see if I'm accepted for it. Most likely I will, since I'm great in ELA according to my teacher. Otherwise...not much.

    I'm hopefully planning a Summer trip to Austin, to meet a couple of my friends. Just hope one of them gets to go. I also fully plan to get my ass in gear and get started on my webcomic, and get back to plushie commissions. But like Banshee said...I just want the year to be a little bit better. 2013 was not a good year. :C

    I wanna land a full time teachin' post :3

    Also, I'd like coverage of the 2014 midterm elections to not be too obnoxious.

    Oh, and I'd like Christopher Lee to live to see the third and final Hobbit film. In one of his recent videos, he said he hopes to be around to see it.

    For 2014 I'm going to try out for drum major in marching band. For next Christmas I will be travelling up to Asotin to see some extended family. I will be attending All-State in New Mexico (it wasn't hard to get in). I might be getting animating software (maybe) and a new laptop, so next year I want to learn to animate. I am going to be at Shadow Blaze's house a lot, and her at mine. So yeah.

    *Late*

    Like Tobias, I'm switching from Middle School to high school. I feel like I'll be okay, but I'll probably screw up and I'm probably already screwed. help me pls

    I'm most likely going to get certified to scuba dive, and, while I'm scared I'll drown/have an asthma attack/get eaten by something, I'm hoping it'll be great.

    Get better fucking grades. Hoping for A's but honestly B's would be okay. I hardly got B's in most of my academics last semester.

    Possibly score an acting gig???? probably not but u never know unaameen

    Yeah, big goals, and plans, hoping to get at least one done. :D

    Aside from surviving another year of school, I plan this to be the year I get into that exchange student program to Japan that I've been looking at since my first year. I want to finish my language studies and get sent Japan by this or next year (since we are out of sych with the rest of the world with our school calendar, with a semester starting in June and ending in October).

    Also, I want to finish the drawing challenges that I set for myself.
