Master's degree , a marathon, and a research paper in 2 semesters?
I completed my Master’s in software engineering at Carnegie Mellon University (usually takes 6 semesters), trained from nothing to running a marathon in a giant inflatable mini Yoda costume, and submitted a paper to Humanoids 2025 in just two semesters.
How did I do this?
I did nothing but work and train every day since August 2024 (when I started my university program) for an average of ~100 hours per week until May 2025. No secrets, just the grind and discipline. I removed distractions, optimized my environment, and locked in.
The end.
