I'm Currently rated 800. How far do you think I can get in a month of chess? I geniunely feel like I might be able to get to something like 1300 in a month. (Yes it seems far fetched but my first thought was aiming for 1500)
Anywhere from 100-400 points is my guess
already 1160 nice improvement!

Wow your month is almost up and you already gained 300 points! Who knows, maybe if you spend another month trying to improve and grind in chess, then maybe you might reach my rating 
ok. your month is up. looks like you went from 872 to 1141. not too shabby.
My puzzles rating went from 1200 to 2200
your profile says your puzzle rating went up 562 points in the last month, not 1,000. still very good.
Wow, its great improvement. Keep up the good work! Im glad my reply made this thread alive again after a month.

yep learning chess is fun
Congrats, IMO impressive. Studying a lot, playing a lot or both? Anything specific that clicked and made a difference?

Studying openings helped a ton, despite everyone saying beginners shouldn't study openings
Mostly thematic tactics help a ton, because you get better at learning how to set up tactics, instead of puzzles, where the tactic is already set up for you.
Things like bishop takes on f7 with a queen fork is super common, and other common tactics as well.
If you could gain 100 points per month and keep up that rate of improvement, then in a year and a half you could play Magnus Carlsen and spank him like a red-headed step-child.

And in a few more months (or maybe years) you could probably beat up stockfish 14 nnue blindfolded while walking on water wrestling a bear.

And in a few more years you could probably beat all the Super GM's and super computers combined while wrestling a dragon underwater in the middle of the mariana trench while holding your breath for like (insert random number here)
Depends on your definition of "improve". I know people that put in a legitimate effort to improve, and i know people that do nothing but play lower rated people, and then brag about how much better they are because their rating is higher.

Honestly, this isn't really possible, but I suggest that you simply be more aware of yourself. A video that helps me improve in chess (I am now improving in blitz but cannot play rapid cause my arm hurts after shot). Even though my arm does hurt, and I am really tired, I still managed, and am managing, to improve my blitz. Another helpful tip I can give is to set an opening repertoire and practice it. For example, you have to decide what you will play was white. I play d4 as my first move (or novelty in other words), and I go for the Queen's Gambit or The Catalan depending on my opponent's move. As black, I always play the is Najdorf Sicilian against 1.e4 and against 1.d4 I play the King's Indian. As black you have to study the moves 1.e4 and 1.d4 the most because they are the most common. Then, maybe study a three move deep response to some off-beat opening if you want to. As white you should study the possible variations of your first move the most.
That's exactly what I do for my openings.
This is my current repertoire as white, any suggestions?

Your openings for white are quite organized, seems like you know the lines! I have some suggestions, but at your level they won't really help.
Fire away, I've been working on my Evans gambit theory but I'm completely open to suggestions!
Well at the higher levels Fried Liver won't really work, and I suggest you play the Caro-Kann or Sicilian instead of the Stafford unless it is blitz because the Stafford has too much theory.
You recommend Sicilian in place of Stafford because of theory? What? Don't listen to that part, though I agree with the first part.
ok. your month is up. looks like you went from 872 to 1141. not too shabby.
My puzzles rating went from 1200 to 2200
Holy moly! Great job!
