Taking a Gap Year Before CMU - Any Tips? :D

hello! i got into cmu for computer science (will likely be majoring in it as well!)

i've applied to and been accepted for a gap year as I got into the hack club gap year fellowship! I'd be traveling around the world and hosting in-person and virtual events to inspire teens to learn to build & code. i'm super excited!!

but i've heard a lot about the rigor of cmu computer science... i'm excited but also a bit scared. anyone here have tips for stuff to study and prepare for during my gap year so i can go in strong?

thanks for any & all advice!
