i got a starter fountain pen and i have been really enjoying using it on legal pads (the ink doesn’t bleed through!)

talk to upperclassmen in your program and make friends in your major. depending on your program, classes could be more engineering-heavy or math-heavy (or both). i think it's most important to not get intimidated if you lack experience and stay interested, patient, and willing to learn/ask questions. if you can, look at languages your intro classes are taught in and try learning the syntax. there are a lot of online resources nowadays (videos, tutorials, etc). once you pick up some basic syntax, you can try beginner-friendly practice websites like codingbat or codesignal's arcade section to improve your grasp of a language and try doing some small projects you like as well. best of luck!!
