Just starated bs in cs, slowly because it's free for state employees. This year I'm just going to do all my calculus and physics courses. What can I do during my free time to better myself? I have no experience outside building my own computer. Also I have a 9 to five job. Any tips or advice appreciated

Currently a CS fag as well, and was in the same boat. My program required me to pass the compTIA A+ exam as a class which helped quite a bit, but I was also hardware illiterate in terms of /g/ standards.

Is that something I should look into? AlsoI'm aware, I am so new to this shit and figured a board of elitists might steer me in the right direction.
But that also sounds like something you do later, anything you remember helping you when you started out ?

I'm a poorfag so I started in a great community college that focused on hands-on learning, so I had some good experience in various languages, but that A+ course was the very first class I took beginning my bachelor's.
My advice is obvious I guess, I did a ton of actual programming. Just find some exercises and do them. And don't care about what anyone says about superior languages, besides javascript. That's gay. Sorry my advice is shit.

Should I wait until I actually take programming 1 or should I just start learning on my own? Any places you recommend?
Dude you replied for all intents and purposes your advice is literally golden
