Opinions needed

So I have like 8-10 weeks free until I am back to college in September and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of how I could spend my time wisely, maybe learning to code in Java and make some Minecraft plugins or increase my knowledge of web development skills such as Bootstrap, Javascript & PHP. I've so many things I want to be able to learn but I'm trying to consider what would benefit me the most. Please leave your opinions down below

I am in the same position as you. I would do something that you benefit you in the future.
I want to do stuff with cyber security when I am older so I mess around with computers and malware on a VM.
Maybe if you let me know what you want to do, I can brainstorm some ideas for you.

I think web development skills (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Bootstrap) and Java programming will benefit me in the future. I do love the idea of cyber security though

If you want to get into that, watch this guy: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgTNupxATBfWmfehv21ym-g.
I would advice learning Java and practice it by creating Minecraft plugins so you become fluent in it.

Thank you for the advice!

Just thought I'd piggy-back on your thread, if it's okay MemoryFault. I'm in a similar position, but it's wee bit more complex.

I'm currently a Mathematical Biology major, but I want to switch to CS. I'm way behind of course, and don't know a lick of programming. I did do AP-CS in high school, but the teacher was so awful, I didn't learn anything. She also made me believe I couldn't do CS for several years, even though the entire class was struggling. I wanna take some first step in these coming weeks, but don't know where to start.
