Hey, Tyler. What college? I live in Des Moines, so that's pretty central.
If it's not too far from there, maybe we could work out some sort of cube
meeting.
As far as a good cube, the rubiks.com DIY kits are generally recommended as
your best bet, but they are out of stock pretty often. I got my best
speedcube from Wal-Mart, and have also worked a standard Target cube to be
great, so either of those should do you just fine, provided you're willing
to break them in well before lubing.
For F2L, really work on understanding the algs you've learned, intuitive or
otherwise. But mostly, concentrate on no delays.
www.metronomeonline.comis a great tool for no pauses. You might also
try Nate Christie's F2L
triggers page.
OLL and PLL is alright, but all the cool kids use other systems. ;P
