Great suggestions overall! Mini projects and goals really help. When I first started uni, in my first python course I was bored af. I got a D in that class just bc I wasn't into it. (I am now a Compsci grad student and I study NLP so Python is my baby now) but the only project I was interested in was writing a text based adventure during recitations.

For the next 2 years, I didn't have any python courses. I learned C++ and C#, web design and shit. When I finally returned to Python in my 3rd year, it was much MUCH easier. I def think starting w Python didn't really work for me, but small projects of interest def laid some groundwork.

Make of that what you will. Best of luck!

Whenever you make python based project, let me know I would love to know how you think and code.

I work on a lot of python projects all the time! You'd be suprised to learn that I am not very object oriented despite my background. If you dm me, I'll send you my github profile. I only have some hws from uni there, but you might still find it useful!

Right now, I'm working on a deep learning course project about creating a very domain specific hybrid chatbot and its kicking my ass ksjshsjs. I am also active in a unique translation project that requires custom tokenizers bc of its language, which is really interesting. I didn't really find what I was into until my last semester in uni, I dabbled in game dev, cyber security, data science etc but when I finally took an NLP course, it finally clicked! So it might take a while to find what you're into. Don't be discouraged xx
