Today's Meskel Vibe at Meskel Square ๐Ÿ˜Š
(Btw I'm Celebrating Meskel for the first time at this place ) and It was so Amazing
Happy Holiday for all of you guys !

๐Ÿ˜ฏ Wowww !
Having persons like this motivates us a lot and also shows us ohh It's achievable ( especially for begineers of the journey ) really proud of him.
Day 30 ๐ŸŽ‰ ( Yesterday )

Today was filled with holiday vibes ๐ŸŽ‰ but I still managed to stay consistent. Solved one problem on LeetCode and spent some time digging into the basics of Arrays.

It might look small, but consistency is what really builds the foundation. Every single day matters, and Iโ€™m glad I kept the streak alive today too ๐Ÿ™Œ

Day 31๐Ÿง
Being alone is never easy, especially if you havenโ€™t experienced it before. This week felt like I was literally lonely everywhere I went โ€” but surprisingly, I still enjoyed the process. Sometimes solitude gives you the space to reflect, grow, and push forward.

Today, I kept grinding โ€” solving questions, learning, and exploring. Iโ€™m using this holiday as a chance for free time, free space, and full focus on my goals.
Thank God ๐Ÿ™

Day 32๐Ÿš€
The streak is going strong! ๐Ÿ’ช

This weekend, I went all outโ€”worked like I live foreverโ€”and it feels amazing knowing this grind will pay off big in the future.
โœ… I managed to solve almost 20 problems across different CP platforms!
Even if some were basic, hitting this number feels incredible.
Also, enjoying the freedom at campus while grindingโ€” ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Day 33 ๐Ÿš€
Still keeping the grind alive with consistency!
โœ… Solved 1 LeetCode problem
โœ… Completed an exercise on GeeksforGeeks
Today I only managed about 3 hours of focused studyingโ€”less than I planned. But itโ€™s all part of the process, and Iโ€™ll work on fixing that moving forward!

Today, the Placement for Pre-Engineering (AAU) was released, and honestlyโ€ฆ everyone was shocked by the results. ๐Ÿ˜ข

What I realizing is this: It doesnโ€™t matter where you areโ€”what really matters is grinding in your niche. No one cares about excuses.

Writing this as a Civil Engineering student (after missing 4 of my previous choices ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ), I can say Iโ€™m disappointed with the whole placement systemโ€”staffs, females, self-sponsoredโ€ฆ the way it works feels unfair.

But at the end of the day: GRIND only ๐Ÿ’ช.
Because in the end, your work is what speaks.
๐Ÿ—“ September Monthly Report ๐ŸŒ™โœจ

Now, looking back at September (Month 2 since I officially joined tech)โ€ฆ it was a messy and confusing month ๐Ÿ˜…. I even doubted myself at times. Still, there were some small wins along with the failures.

Achievements ๐ŸŽ‰
โœ… Started DSA officially with Python
โœ… Joined an amazing online DSA community
โœ… Met many tech people, even in personโ€”super valuable
โœ… Managed to track my real progress across platforms (including this channel )

Failures ๐Ÿ˜ข
Not consistent: only 13/30 days (43%)
Paused my web dev journey for the whole month
Got placed into Civil Engineering (thanks, AAU ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ)

But believe it or notโ€”magic will happen in the future. ๐Ÿ’ช Who knows? No one ๐Ÿ˜Ž ONLY GOD
๐Ÿ”ฅ3
What to Expect After October ๐Ÿš€
Be consistent at least 25 days
Continue my Web Dev journey (from where I paused: CSS)
Start real self-improvement (my own way, not like the social media โ€œgurusโ€)
Stay off social media for the month OTHER THAN POSTING  and use that time to read books ๐Ÿ“š

By the way, Iโ€™d love it if you could share this channel ๐Ÿ™. If youโ€™re on the same path, or if you also have a personal channel, letโ€™s grow together. ๐Ÿš€

Day 34๐Ÿš€
Today, as I intended, I did everything I wanted:

๐Ÿ‘‰Started my web development journey ๐Ÿš€
๐Ÿ‘‰Began reading books (Iโ€™ll share them once I finish ๐Ÿ“š)
๐Ÿ‘‰Practiced LeetCode questions while also trying to grasp the bigger picture of Big O complexity ๐Ÿ”

It feels like Iโ€™m slowly putting the pieces together for the bigger grind ahead.

Day 35 ๐Ÿš€
Today I solved my first medium problem on LeetCodeโ€”and Iโ€™m super excited about it! ๐ŸŽ‰

I feel like until now I was just circling around DSA, but from this point onward, Iโ€™m finally getting to the core of it. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Day 36 and 37 ๐Ÿš€
Today I took a break from the LeetCode grind to attend the AfroChain Hackathon, held at the Science Museum on October 4โ€“5.

The experience was far beyond what I expected โ€” I met some truly amazing people with inspiring ideas and innovations. It was my first-ever hackathon, and Iโ€™m so grateful to have had this opportunity.

Special thanks to the AfroChain Hackathon organizers for making it all possible! ๐Ÿ™Œ
Day 37 ๐ŸŒ™

Back from the hackathon and back to the grind! ๐Ÿ’ป Iโ€™ve been hitting LeetCode again, and luckily, classes havenโ€™t started yet โ€” a golden opportunity for hustlers like me to push harder.

My October plan was to stay consistent for 25+ day, but honestly, I slipped in the first 4 days ๐Ÿ˜…. Still, I managed to pull through and hit my max streak of 26 days this month! Not perfect, but definitely progress. ๐Ÿš€

Which is harder for you: debugging or thinking of the approach?
For me, thinking of the approach takes 80% of the time ๐Ÿ˜…
Day 38 ๐Ÿš€
Some days are about results.
Others are just about showing up and keeping the streak alive.
Either way โ€” still on the DSA grind โšก๏ธ
3 AM , laptop open, Python running, and me realizing I just missed a semicolon ๐Ÿ˜ญ
