If you decided to get a job save all the professional intern stuff for summers. During the year get a gig at a popular college bar / club being a bar back or staff. Work your way to bartender.

Only other good route I believe is getting a job in some outdoors or exercise related job at the university where you are responsible to taking groups out etc...

For Social Circle find the biggest social club on campus that throws parties. Try to become a low ranking officer so you don't have much responsibility but you are in the core group. That + your fraternity will open a ton of options.

You want to cut your time up to get the best return from each.

Good plan though.

Save $ to pimp out your dorm room / alcohol / drugs

- Mini fridge
- Glassware (shot glasses) / Normal drink glasses
- Good sound system
- Have killer playlists that last a few hours each for different moods (pre-game, chill, partying, alone with a chick), also have little Youtube or other funny videos lined up
- Sounds cheesy I know but dumb stuff like a strobe light, lights on the walls etc.. try to turn it in your personal club for little parties of 6-10 people.
- Good decorations
- Good rug, anything that makes girls want to get barefoot and sit or lay around

- If you smoke weed:
- money for a great bong
- a great little pipe for the semi-stoner chicks
- learn to roll a good joint by hand and blow smoke rings etc... girls eat that up

Lastly and this is probably the most under utilized but best weapon with college chicks:

Jello Shots

Learn to make them and use them all the time.

Thanks for the advice. Right now, my poor ass is sitting on 100 bucks. Excusable, since I'm in high school, but needs to get fixed quickly. I'm probably going to get a job at a movie theater for the rest of the school year + summer. Minimum wage, but easy as hell.

Yeah, I was thinking something like that... a bartender or campus security. I'm leaning towards the bar, seeing as I can make more as a bartender than I ever could as a security guard. The best bartenders get paid in the 6 figures, if I'm not mistaken.

Good advice on the social club thing. I never thought about that. The college I'm going to be attending isn't a big sports school, either, so I don't have to compete with fucking pre-NFL football players.

I will be saving, definitely. It'll take a few years to get all the stuff you've mentioned, but if I'm not mistaken mini-fridges either come with the room or are really cheap and supplied by the school. Also, I'm pretty sure the rooms all have rugs.

I'll have my rapper friend make up a playlist... I only listen to metal and folk music so I have no idea what qualifies as a good playlist for pop music listeners. I'm sure playing Sinatra would come across as creepy more than anything else.

I don't smoke... yet.

I will definitely research this jello shots thing.

Thanks for the advice.

I'll post up the goals I've written for myself.

1) Make enough money to travel for 4 months this year.
2) Travel to Ghana and SEA this year (and have a good time).
3) Go Nofap for most of 2015.
4) Reach 225 lbs lean (measured in the morning before breakfast). This will require being slightly more structured with meals.
5) Improve my game. Basically I want to move to a stage where I can be considered to have 'game', as opposed to just being a good looking, muscular guy who dresses well and gets pussy that falls into his lap. In terms of quantifiable goals, this includes:
- Sleeping with 12 girls.
- Going on more dates.
6) Learn to dance, including at least 3 months of formal lessons.

Also, thanks to Fisto for posting up this thread and the 2014 thread as well. Both have helped me reflect on the past year, and organise myself efficiently for the year ahead.

Post: #29

Travel more, at least two trips this year vs my one of last year.
Make more money, while escaping cubicle job.
Introduction level Russian.
Hit 200 llbs, currently at 197.
Master muscle-ups.
More quality sex with quality girls.

Post: #30

Write three techno-thriller novellas for one pen name
Write 50 short stories in another
Write 5-6 more computer-related non-fiction books
Put all of the above in ACX format if possible.

The hard part of writing isn't actually writing a novel. It's the time before writing it, that is, *starting* it.

So, all of the above while approaching ten girls per week (write for an hour, approach for an hour...)

Don't do the movie theater thing. You are better off working again at a restaurant or bar with a lot of hot hostesses, waitresses, etc... and maybe you can get experience helping the bartender. You will socialize more and up your game, plus make tips. Life guarding at a public pool also has hot young chick staff.

I think working at a yoga studio or a frozen yogurt place would give you better access to chicks than a movie theater even...

Also don't do campus security. It will have weird hours that fuck up your social life.

Really unless it is for a career make the job the fun and have access to hot girls. The social skills you learn will help you much more in life. All these jobs pay low so why not have pussy and social experience? That is my regret working an office job that paid well back then in high school part time to get experience in The Real World. Stupid mistake.

Save the serious job stuff until the internship summers during college.

Don't forget to research about studying abroad and picking up a second language!!!!! Also during the summers between college or even this upcoming summer going to a language camp abroad like that Montreal French school for 5 weeks where the government pays for it all!

Two things.
1.) Get more into reading. I'll get into a book or a series of books maybe once every 2-3 years, but it's something that should be consistent. Because every time I get into a book, I really love and enjoy it. Plus reading is much better for you and your brain than video games and TV, which are two things I need to also cut a bit. I also just got a Kindle yesterday, so hopefully that will make getting different books easier.

2.) Lift more/get bigger. Last summer I started lifting for (basically) the first time. I'm not even going to say what I started out benching because it was absolutely pitiful. But by the end of the summer I went up 50 pounds in my bench. It's still not anything impressive, but definitely an improvement. Lifting during the school year has been hard because I'm busier during the school year than the summer. Gains really haven't been made since the summer which is something I need to change.

tl;dr I need to read and lift more.

Post: #33

I'm seeing a lot of great goals here. If I could offer some coaching I don't see much about improving/repairing any personal relationships.

I've realized myself that these relationships are vitally important. Don't be too proud to fix something if it's in your power.

Post: #34

1) Finish first draft of my screenplay by Feb 1st - I read a nice way to describe a first draft and that is the vomit draft. I have had problems finishing because I want it to be perfect. So I'm just getting it down in the next 21 days.

1a) Finish rewrites by April 1st - This seems a reasonable amount of time to get trusted opinions on my first draft, let it sit, and then attack it with a fine tooth comb.

2) Bring up my French to fluency by July 1st - I'm decent but cannot really carry a full conversation. Also, it will help with my future political aspirations. The date coincides with my departure date for a planned trip to France.

3) Lose at least 40 lbs by July 1st - Just weighed myself for the first time in a while. 262 lbs at 6'2". I thought I was at most 245. Not good. This is the heaviest I've ever been. My eating habits have been awful and I am mostly sedentary these days.

3a) Get back to my healthy diet that I had pre-university days. A whole lot of vegetables, brown rice, fish, chicken, and a little beef.

3b) Get back to the gym and playing basketball regularly.

Shit, I'm still shocked by me being 262. I didn't believe it at first, but repeated weigh ins has confirmed it. Certainly a wake up call. I'll be back with updates on my progress. Thanks for the motivation to write these out Fisto.

Ok, i was going to do some list when this thread started but kept hanging up on it so i'll try this instead.

Than main thing is cashing in at the the events i'm entering at this years WSOP in Vegas. Second is to find a therapist and get things together mentally.

Post: #36

For me trying to set too many goals with exact numbers etc always ends up with me spreading out thin and checking out entirely. So for me mine are going to follow a more non-traditional pattern and setting a general theme of what I'm going to accomplish this year and lazer-focusing on one or two goals at a time.

This years themes will be progress through stability and a congruency between how I perceive myself and how the external world perceives me.

I will first get enough work to bring in enough money so that I am able to save 50% of my income each month. Right now my expenses are $1200 so that shouldn't be too hard. Adding for some luxuries I'll bump that up to 2k and strive for more (as the economy here looks to be on shaky ground for the time being). By the end of the year I'll have enough for 2 years saved up.

On top of pure earning I will plan most of my purchases ahead, I'll put some time into methodically shopping. Spending a little bit of time researching will hopefully pay off mostly in food/entertainment/clothing costs.

Now that I've got a nice cushion of cash, and a knowledge of cheap buys. I'm going to start working on my hobbies and appearance.

I'm going to start learning more about cooking, starting with fundamentals, the science behind it, and then I'll be studying cuisines of specific cultures throughout the world, learning a bit of history, hitting up ethnic markets, and maybe getting a few flags on my way. As a result of this I'll be eating nearly entirely home made food and I'll start getting my exercise through sports/recreation rather than the gym. I like lifting weights, but I need to work on my cardio health and also enjoy the competition that comes with sports. Cross country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, biking, canoeing, baseball etc. I'd like to try hunting too. Also I'll hope to have a good friend group to go camping with or do a lot of this stuff with by that time

Now that I've gotten a good group of friends, have gotten healthier, and a more positive demeanor due to solid finances, meaningful hobbies, and daily exercise, I'll switch to focusing on my appearance and sexual prowess.

Right now I'd say I'm a "6:" good face, dress alright, tall. However, I need to lose some weight, get my haircut/accessories/clothing right for my body type/face type/skin color etc. I can also be a bit off socially some times, and am extremely passive -- my game right now is to mostly capitalize on 'yes' girls. I want to polarize maybe girls quickly.

Now that I'm an 8+ on the looks scale, have some interesting hobbies, and relative financial freedom I'll practice my sex skills. Mostly trial and error with some research. I've been getting to a point lately when I have sex where I'm almost getting lost in it but for some reason won't let myself get into my desires. Not just for me, but I want to get lost in sexual oblivion with every girl I meet sowing then cultivating each of our deepest fantasies. The closest I got was when I fingered that 18 year old when I was back home, it was almost like I wasn't performing any actions, but just being in that one moment. Everything else faded away as we locked eyes while I choked her and fingered her and she told me how innocent she was

I'd like to have a MILF/sugar momma type, young college slut that I'll make do terrible things her parents would disown her for, and a sweet virginal immigrant chick I'll buy roses and take on long walks down by the river...

All this being said I'll be working on most of these at once, but focusing on them in this order. I'd like to get more knowledge of finances, read/write lots, and research a couple potential biotech ideas I have that hopefully will make me a shit ton of money.

For everyone looking to learn a new language this will prove useful: http://youtu.be/d0yGdNEWdn0

My goals for 2015:

1) Get a programming job; preferably in London. I'm currently a few months into learning Java and I know how to spell Python. I'm looking to get my foot in the door and learn off people within the work place. I'd love to become freelance in a few years but I'm under no illusion that this is going to be an easy task. This is my hardest goal as I've never been academic but my borderline obsession with computers should help.

2) Save up £3000. I was hesitant to type the amount as it's embarrassingly low compared to some of the figures quoted earlier in the thread. I appreciate we're all at different stages in our lives though. I've never practiced restraint when it comes to money so I'm starting low to build up my confidence.

3) Get my driving license back and purchase a small modest car. Self explanatory really.

4) 40kg dumbell shoulder press. 150kg squat. 180kg dead lift. 110kg bench. I was once in the 500kg club so this shouldn't be too difficult barring injuries. Going to take this one slow and enjoy it.

5) Drug and alcohol free. I've lost the privilege of drinking as I can't do it responsibly. I've been sober for around 3 months now and I'm already seeing the benefits, feels great saying 'f*ck you' to hang overs.

It felt good sharing these and the added pressure to achieve them should spur me on. I wish everyone else all the best with their goals.

Welcome to the board. If I may make a suggestion, never be embarrassed about your goals. Never compare to the guys on this forum, we as men are just trying to be better than we were the day before. If we do need to make some comparisons, having goals makes you better than most people in the world who just drift along. A lot of people would be so happy with 1,000 bucks saved let alone 5,000 (rough conversion to USD).

Welcome and good luck!

I will accomplishment (hopefully) not going to prison, dying, or getting AIDS. Everything after that will be icing on the cake.

2014 started out great but ended up being a terrible year, although that was 95% my fault. I had decent luck, but risked too much without putting in anywhere near good effort, preferring to wing it most of the time. Ergo Im fucked right now.

Here are my goals for 2015. I'll try to be as specific as I can, and if someone figures out who I am, well, balls.

1- Get a summer internship by end of February, preferably at a strategy consulting gig.

a) Follow up and convert the potential opportunities at KPMG and PWC, try and push for a Strategy& position.
b) Get the applications through for EY, Deloitte by day after, EOD.
c) Follow through with 50+ applications for consulting positions by end of January, brute force. 100 applications overall in the next 18 days.
d) Reach out to 75 people each at the Big 4 firms by end of January, a total of 300 people.
e) Set up and complete informational interviews with at least 50 of the above by the end of February.
f) Do one case a day till the end of February starting tomorrow, a total of 46 cases (push for 50? although diminishing returns might kick in somewhere around 30)

2- Convert a full time M/B/B offer by end of September

a) Convert a consulting internship by end of February.
b) Maintain a 4.0 GPA throughout this semester.
c) Complete 2 more part time internships, a total of 4, by end of May (SX counts as 1, so I just need to find one more for the summer).
d) Do a total of 100 cases by end of May (might take a call on this at the end of Feb, I suspect time may be better spent tweaking specific aspects beyond a point. )
e) Reach out to 100 people at each of the 3, a total of 300. Set up and complete informational interviews with at least 100 by the end of May.
f) Create a folder based on each of the three highlighting key competencies, interview processes, firm culture, core businesses and accounts (?) and strategies for the immediate future.
g) Keep resume updated, have a completed cover letter for each by the end of May.

3- Be somewhat proficient in Spanish by December

a) Create and memorize a list of the 1000 most common Spanish words by end of January.
b) Read the entire Harry Potter series in Spanish (or a substitute) by end of February. Start speaking basic phrases (how is this quantifiable?). Start watching Spanish soaps.
c) Repivot at the end of February.

4- Cut out the noise

a) Pursue a somewhat steady short term relationship with my current girl. Stop trawling pof, okc, tinder and bars for random sluts. Too many distractions, too much wasted energy. Stay steady with one girl, focus on personal growth.
b) Stop smoking, cold turkey. Whole year.
c) Reduce wanton internet use to an hour a day, starting tomorrow, one month. Repivot Feb 15.
d) Fap once a week for four weeks, repivot Feb 15.
c) Get back into decent shape, maintain said shape. No need to get into superman mode, at least till 1 and 2 are achieved.
d) Stop getting drunk at college socials. No alcohol for a month, repivot Feb 15.


EDIT : VISCA BARCA!
