From Tier-3 Classroom to Global Dreams: My 3-Year Beast Mode Blueprint

Soft energy. Hard code. Sharp mind.
This is Day -16 of my 3-year transformation.


🗓 29 June 2025 — The After-Exam Void

Yesterday, I walked out of my last C++ exam of first year.
No fireworks. No drama. Just me, a corridor, and one loud thought:

“Okay Debadrita… what now?”

Most people would take a break.
I’m choosing to take off.


What I’m Building (And Why)

I’m not just here to “pass second year.”
I’m designing a system — a 3-year transformation plan — that turns a tier-3 college story into a proof-of-work masterpiece.

In public.
With honesty, obsession, and impact.

Why?
Because I believe that with consistent learning, shipping, storytelling, and experimenting —
you can change your life faster than anyone thinks is reasonable.


The 6 Pillars of My Beast Mode Plan

PillarFocus
🧠 DSA + Core CS700 LeetCode problems, solid system design, OS/DBMS mastery
🌐 Web Dev (Full Stack)Build and deploy real tools, not just tutorials
🤖 AI + LLMsPython, GPT, HuggingFace, OpenAI APIs, ML-powered products
💰 MonetizationCreate digital products, write, freelance, build tools with value
🎯 Hackathons & InternshipsEarn podium wins, land an elite internship
🎓 Stanford + BeyondApply to MS CS + MBA at Stanford with a killer SOP & résumé

So... Why Post Before Starting?

  • 🧭 To hold myself accountable

  • 📸 To document the raw before-and-after

  • 💡 To show other girls like me: You can start with nothing and build everything

  • ✍️ To have blog post #1 linked in my future Stanford application. Just imagine.


My Next 14 Days (July 2–14) = Mental Armour Phase

Before I even write a single line of JavaScript, I’m doing the inner work:

  • 💭 Rewiring identity: journaling “I am becoming...”

  • 📚 Learning the tools: VS Code, GitHub, Hashnode, Notion

  • 🤖 First 2 LeetCode easies

  • 💡 Reading Naval’s Almanack at night

  • 🪞 Saying my affirmations in color-coded text blocks (yes, I’m that girl)


My Long-Term Vision (Financially Speaking)

Let’s be honest — I want wealth.
Not just money-for-salary wealth — I want options, impact, and peace.
And I’m learning to build products and systems that earn as I sleep.

No flashy promises, no “crorepati overnight” claims.
Just intentional building — in public — for 3 years straight.


What's Next (Action Plan)

✅ Set up DebTheDev on Hashnode
✅ Upload my soft-glow + sharp-gaze profile pic
✅ Publish Blog #2 on July 2: “How I Set Up a Life OS for Beast Mode”
✅ Finalize my pastel-pink Notion Beast HQ

Until then?
30 June + 1 July = rest.
Let my old self breathe, because on July 2, she’s getting replaced.


If You’re Reading This...

You just met me at level zero.

Follow along if you want to watch a quiet Tier-3 fresher
turn into someone Stanford has to admit, and companies want to invest in.

And if you’re ahead of me?
Cheer me on.

If you’re behind me?
Let’s walk together.

The beast is awakening.
See you on 2 July.
