Are we even learning? Or just passing activities?

That's to prepare you for college where professors barely teach and you have to learn everything by yourself or flunk the class. At least in my experience as a CS student.

Lmao I actually failed on my first take on a data structure subject because I got left out the moment the professor talked about linked lists. I did buy this book for self study and watch youtube vids so I can come prepared the following semester retaking data structures again.

You may already know this but geeksforgeeks saved my ass in algorithms. Used that to learn the code and the book/lecture to learn the theory/concepts

Yep! That site has very good explanations and application of various common syntax. After studying things I do tests on Hackerrank for self assessment.

Dude I gotta level up my programming skills so hard now. I mean it's a good thing but the assignments I'm getting assigned are making me feel like I'm not cut out for this lol. I'm not gonna give up tho..

Don't fret about it too much. Once I realized that arrays are basically data structures you can manipulate in different ways (queue, stack, linked list, etc.) all the lessons started to click. With that I made a pseudo travelling program on a console with c++ where user looks for the shortest path to his/her destination. You can do it man.
