I'm a bit worried about my coding journey since I've already wasted my first year at college. Now that I'm in my second year, we have classes on DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms), web designing, and other domain training. I'm feeling overwhelmed and unsure about how to manage learning both C++ and Python. How should I tackle this? Any tips on getting started?

Start diving into projects! The best way to learn coding is to actually build stuff. College can only teach you so much about product building. So, get your hands dirty early on!
Don't waste time and make sure to take your classes seriously! Learning coding can be tough, but it can also be really enjoyable. If you find yourself not interested in these topics at all, you might want to think about a different career because ongoing learning is a big part of software engineering. It's critical to focus on your early classes since they're foundational for everything that comes next. Remember, there's no magic shortcut; it requires dedicated effort. Some of us just need a bit more time for things to click. Also, learning how to communicate your questions effectively is super important!
But I don't know any programming language yet! How do I start?
