I finished first sem in college and know syntax to languages like c/ c and python. I practiced DSA as every engineer's cannon event. But-

All I can write are simple calculation programs and leetcode problems.

I want to develop projects but how do I go about creating them? If I follow a tutorial or learn a module/library it's mostly me copying the code although I understand it I can't add much to it.I try to read documentation and start on my own, but the code ends up breaking and then I'll have to watch a tutorial again.

I tried building a discord bot but it was mostly me copying the code. I wasn't learning anything.

Tldr; how to get out of tutorial hell and be original
