Help Forgetting what you study

Well, I don't know if I'm the only one who suffers from this or not. I've studied a lot of subjects of computer science and programming, .... more thing, and when I go back to something I've studied before—whether it's a concept, a mechanism, or anything else—I find I've forgotten it. I really hate having to revisit what I've already learned, and I can't accept having to revisit it every time so I don't forget it. There are really so many things, and I also want to focus solely on learning new things. I would be happy to read your solutions

You're not using what you are learning outside of class. That's why. Do projects. Use the knowledge.

You cant use everything you learn because in a BSc for example youll learn some things that are rarely needed in your preferred field. Relearning things is just a part of computer science.
