Hello!

Hope everyone is doing alright!

I want to come here and share something that has been making me feel bad for the past months, in hopes I find an answer for it!

I just now entered my second year of university and I major, obviously, in computer science. However, I feel like I have learned nothing.. I aced all my math courses (Discrete Math, Probability, Linear, Numerical...) and all my programming courses as well (C , Python, Java...) but I still don't feel like I know anything.

I just wish there is a roadmap where I can follow it and know that I am in the right track.

I can program stuff and yeah they will have cool outputs. However, I know nothing about how my programming skills will be applied in the work field or how I can merge two programming languages into one (for example to make a game or a website). I just feel like I know nothing except of rules and applications.

Can anyone please help me know why I feel that way? And if I want to learn the stuff I am curious about, I just have 0 idea how to phrase them in Youtube and other sites.

Did you guys ever feel lost in your computer science journey? How did you overcome it? And did you manage to find a job? How did you apply your knowledge into it? I am planning on becoming a software engineer or an AI researcher/developer.

tl;dr I know all the rules and applications of computer science but I have 0 idea at the same on how to apply them in the work field and other stuff. I just wish there is a roadmap where I can follow it and know that I am in the right track.

P.S. I heavily apologize if my questions sound ignorant or uneducated, I just am worried if I only feel that way or if there is other people who share the same journey as me.

Thank you in advance, and have an amazing day/night!!
