Happy New Year everyone!
I spend too much time on wasteof. But of all the places on the internet, this is the only one that is worth coming back to multiple times a day.
Now, I present my goals for 2024. The goals are all specific and quantifiable, so I can measure if I complete them. Here they are:
Run a 5k in under 20 mins by March, under 18 mins by August, and under 16 mins by November
Run over 1500 miles in total
Run a race every month - except January because I canāt find a single convenient race that month.
Finish school early - Iām on track to finish 1-2 weeks early, so I want to keep, if not improve, that lead
Bring the wasteof iOS app to feature parity with wasteof2 by July, and to parity with wasteof4 by November
Do some other big coding project
Read the book of John, taking it slowly through the book - Goal is 3-4 verses per day, John has 879 verses so it should take up the majority of the year
Become (at least) friends with my crush. āBecoming friendsā is defined as getting her phone number. I wonāt see her until August, though and I barely know her. And Iām the most awkward person ever. Weāll see.
Buy an iPhone 16 Pro Max and Apple Watch Series 10 when they come out.
Get a driverās license by August - I need 60 hours of driving practice in total, I have about 10 so far. I havenāt been trying though.
Get a job.
Repost this weekly with progress updates on what Iāve done to keep myself accountable.
2023 was the greatest year of my life. 2024 will be even better. Letās get it.
Also, I got to see a nuclear reactor core while it was running today. It was super cool
Hey guys I have been entirely offline so far this week, and I will be offline probably until July 6, but I might be online on Saturday. The reason is because I have multiple camps this week and next week.
It actually feels really good to not use the internet at all. We get so used to it but itās not even remotely necessary for living a fulfilling life. I love coding, donāt get me wrong, but I donāt think Iām cut out to be an engineer. If you give me the chance to do something irl with friends I will do it over coding every time. Anyways, thanks guys for listening to me yap. The camp that was super amazing and changed my life last year is coming around next week. Maybe Iāll have something to say about that. See yāall

2. I got 30 miles this week
Iām sorry guys, a lot of these goals I just canāt work on every week. So these posts look really failing because I only post like one or two goals. Just know that Iām still working.
Happy New Year everyone!

Maybe we should consider that possiblyā¦ this is just a wild guessā¦ but there may be a slim sliver of a chance that iPhones are better than Androids in some ways. And Androids are better than iPhones in some ways. And Apple makes features that Androids donāt have. Iām really tired of the crazy arguments we always have, not just online but in person. Every argument about Apple versus Android always devolves into the Android guy screaming the top 5 things about Android and the worst 5 things about Apple, and the Apple guy doing the same but reversed.
The fact isā¦ without competition, either platform would be garbage. They each need the other one (and the people saying the other one is better!) to get better themselves. So Iām going to stop saying one is better than the other. I like iOS better because it has better aesthetics (which is a personal opinion), Iām used to it, and Iām in the ecosystem. Some may like Android better. So be it.
Stop trying to get people to change their minds, though. They wonāt.
Week 22/52
I got back from my trip partway through this week, so I only got 17 miles of running. I finished goal 7 though. So far - goals 4 and 7 are done, and goal 10 is a bust.
Happy New Year everyone!
