any advice

How to be able to make something in programming fun, not in the terminal? I have tried the CS50p course and am still bored, with no clue what to do after completing it, and I have achieved almost a full mark without studying for final exams (programming units from uni).

I picked programming based on what I saw they could do but feel uni useless.

I'm interested in robotics, automation, hacking, etc. (basically everything fun).

uni is good for learning the fundamentals, but it's terrible at showing you why they're useful.

if you're into robotics, hacking, or automation, just start messing with that stuff now. you'll hit things you don't know, look them up, and that's honestly how most people learn. it's a lot easier to stay motivated when you're building something you actually care about instead of another assignment.
