I'm really looking to dive into data structures and algorithms (DSA) but I'm not sure where to begin. Can anyone offer some guidance or resources for getting started?

A great starting point is to code the data structures yourself. It really helps you understand how they work. Once you've got the basics down, the algorithms will start to make more sense naturally. I recommend checking out this helpful video on FreeCodeCamp: https://youtu.be/RBSGKlAvoiM?si=1iZzt0YOnKDGVgrj.
If you're having trouble figuring out where to start, maybe DSA isn't the right fit for you. It's okay to take a step back and rethink your approach!
But it might just be a matter of knowing the right resources to begin with! Don't get discouraged!
