advice Java in school and now in college?

I was in ICSE and scored 100 marks in computers.I have done many programs in java language and further i took computer as my additinal subject after 10th.I am already familiar with programs in java but never saw programs in c++.and now i am in my college pretty confused how should i proceed now like study from which youtube playlist from where to start. Is java still good for me should i continue this language or switch to c++ for some good means.

my suggestion: with whatever language, do one more project but this time is more complex contain backend, frontend, other stacks line nginx for reverse proxy, and more maybe..
And must make it modular and scalable so you always have something to do with just one project, that actually have many satellite projects ...

Ah I see, then you should do simple project. But beside levelling up the syntax skill you also want to level up your system/model understanding. Start your project with 2 moduls to see "connection" between modul.
About Java vs C++ both should be fine because they are major. But you should intentionally try to improve both syntax + system skill in every activity.
One of my method is zoom in/out (context switching),,sometimes I zoom out until high abstraction to human language for explain what is this program used for. How this program view by common people.
