I'm currently in my 3rd semester. In the 1st semester, we had C language, and I found it interesting, so I enjoyed learning it. However, I couldn't keep up with the pace of college. It started with pretty basic concepts, but towards the end of the semester, the syllabus went into much deeper topics that I couldn't understand at the time because my learning pace couldn't match the college's pace. As a result, I was left with gaps in my understanding, and everything became messed up.

In the 2nd semester, we had DSA. Honestly, the professor's teaching style wasn't for me, so I had to learn everything on my own. That also got messed up because of how quickly the college kept accelerating through the syllabus. Meanwhile, I would constantly get stuck on certain topics from time to time, which created more gaps, or you could say, a backlog.

Now my 3rd semester is about to start, and my knowledge of C is still incomplete. My DSA knowledge is also incomplete, and now I don't know what I should do. I'm thinking of learning C++, but starting from the absolute basics again like variables, loops, constants, and all the other fundamental concepts feels boring and like a waste of time.

Need some advice pls help also thanks for reading through

my screen time is almost always in double digits which I am not proud of, and most of it comes from instagram, then some chess then reddit then some random stuff but the thing is the more I try to quit instagram and step back the more i wanna go back, and it's ruining me and my mental health, overstimulation, brain fog, constantly comparing myself my life to random people I see on instagram, which contributes to self hate and disappointed in myself, seeing how happy they are, there life is somewhat fixed than mine, they've won the geographical lottery and stuff like that and it makes so hard not to compare myself to others, even tho being well aware of the fact that nobody's life is ever fixed like everybody going through some things and the posts the reels they everything over the internet is a highlight/glimpse of there happy moments

Actually having a headache as i am writing all of this because of all the overstimulation and brain fog
