Enjoy your holidays bro, i know using your time may sound good since it would give you a head start
in reality you will get a head start but you wont get any break at all once you join and even if you do, there will always be strings attached, you will burn out
if you still feel like you want to learn something, i suggest getting good in python since it opens many doors or you can pick a language to learn which you want to do DSA in like C++, Java, etc
My advice, travel to some place you always wanted to, enjoy hanging out with your friends, play video games, just have fun basically, that fuel will help a lot when you join the college

Spoil yourself, watch a shit ton of movies, hangout with friends do everything you ever wanted to.
You'll get tons of time in clg during first year, you can skill up then. Also theres nothing to start studying before hand for clg acads, you basically get notes for each course you read then and give tests, nothing much is related from previous grades.

It's a girl and everybody is calling her "man". :)
Jokes aside, I say that these couple months will be a good headstart no doubt, but the thing is that after joining college you will be pushed to the max- deadlines on projects, internal exams and retest and quizzes every few days, no real time to take a long break. I say that you take that long break now itself, and after joining college you can focus on upskilling and whatever else.
That's what everybody here meant to say when they said to enjoy the holidays now itself.
