What really matters is consistency, showing up, and being real about the journey — even when it’s messy.

Hi, I’m Broke-Kid, a final-year CS student with no internship in hand — yet. But I’ve got something better: a Mission. This blog kicks off my 90-day journey to build, share, fail, and rise in public — as I prep for my first internship (whenever it comes).

🔥 Why This Blog Series?

This blog is for:

  • Students balancing DSA, projects, and college chaos

  • Self-taught devs tired of “follow this perfect roadmap” advice

  • Anyone who feels behind but still shows up every day

You don’t need a 9-star HackerRank profile or 5 Kaggle gold medals.
You need clarity, courage, and a real plan that works for you.

🎯 My 90-Day Mission

Here’s what I want to achieve before internship season hits:

  • 🚀 Build a full-stack Tesla Configurator Clone with MERN

  • 💰 Finish my MERN based personal lifestyle Project Broke-Kid

  • 🧠 Master DSA: Trees, Hashing, Linked Lists

  • 🐍 Polish Python for coding rounds & projects

  • 🌐 Make a portfolio that screams “Hire me.”

  • ✍️ Publish 2 raw, honest blogs per week

✅ No excuses. Just execution, reflection, and accountability.

📦 What You’ll Get from These Blogs

Every post will include:

  • ✅ What I built or learned

  • ❌ What I failed at or skipped

  • 📚 Real notes, tools, resources I use

  • 🧩 Honest thoughts on fear, pressure, and growth

No sugarcoating. No overnight success.
Just raw, real student life — the kind no YouTube tutorial covers.

💡 Project #1: Tesla Clone in MERN

I’m starting my journey with a bold, flashy, and recruiter-friendly project — a Tesla Configurator Clone built using:

  • React + Tailwind CSS

  • Node.js + Express

  • MongoDB + Cloudinary

  • Full Auth, Payment UI, and Deployment (on Vercel / Render)

This isn’t a “todo app” or “Instagram copy.”
It’s a statement project. One that reflects real frontend polish + backend logic.

🔧 I’ll share a step-by-step devlog in upcoming blogs.

🔮 What’s Coming Next (Day 1 Preview)

Next Blog:
🗓️ Day 1 — My Internship Survival Blueprint

What I’ll share:

  • My daily routine for DSA + Projects

  • Tech stack and GitHub workflow

  • Tools I’m using to track progress

  • Portfolio and LinkedIn optimization plan
