aryang22's blog

By aryang22, history, 15 months ago, In English

Seeing the latest blog by WeaponizedAutist, I think I can help those greys and greens by helping them test themselves if they should really give up.

I am a 3rd year Computer Science and Engineering Student. I never took CP too seriously. But since placements and internships are approaching, I must catch up and become a bit serious towards it.

  • At the time of publishing this blog: I am rated 1359 at 107 problems.
  • By the end of 3 months (When I will publish the sequel to this blog): I aim to reach a stable 1600+ rating (By stable I mean, it shouldn't be peak, I must have a non-decreasing graph around 1600s), and around 350+ problems with utmost consistency (Seems doable).

Point to be noted: I am quite a procrastinator, and end up giving up midway most of the times (You can see that by my current codeforces problems heatmap below). Perhaps, I think it's about psychology, I don't consider stuff too important to put in my blood and sweat.

But, I guess this blog will help me figure out if it's just psychology or if I am just uncapable of achieving stuff. This is because, through this blog I am going to announce something publicly, enforcing a do or die situation for me to not procrastinate and actually take stuff seriously.

If I succeed in achieving my goal, then anyone here can achieve what they aim. This public announcement binds me to be determined for those greys and greens who are everyday looking out for some or the other blog to become a cyan or blue, and let them know if they should actually give up or not

Also, if I succeed, I will put up a complete roadmap of what I did in these 3 months. But..If I fail, I will quit CP considering that WeaponizedAutist was right that some people must give up.
