🎓 Day 0 – 90 Days Until My First Internship: Let’s Learn, Build, and Struggle Together


In final year, I realized — just building projects and getting good grades isn't enough.
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.
