Need feedback on my first year at college

Almost finished 1st year at college. Progress and revaluation. Need Feedback

Hey there!

So, at the beginning of the year, my plan was to dive into DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms) using C++ and explore different tech stacks. Here's what I've been up to:


1) DSA: I completed Abdul Bari's DSA course, but I still have a lot of DSA-related questions to tackle on platforms like HackerRank, LeetCode, and NeetCode.


2) More DSA: I've been working on various C++ questions on HackerRank, covering topics like fundamentals and OOPs. I even managed to secure the 2nd rank in the main Campus HackerRank leaderboard.



3) Android Development: I've successfully built four Android apps using Android Studio. These apps involve making API calls and incorporating feeds.


4) Web Development: I kicked off my journey with TheOdinProject and completed HTML/CSS/JS modules. Along the way, I worked on different projects to apply my skills.



5) API Calls/JSON Parsing: To create a CLI client for SpaceTraders API, I utilized Python libraries like Requests and pprint for making API calls and parsing JSON.



6) Open Source: I dipped my toes into the world of open source by contributing to projects, mainly focusing on tweaking documentation. I even earned the pull shark badge! I also applied for the GitHub Student Developers Pack.



7) Academics: 1st Sem results have been declared. I scored a okay 8.4 CGPA. I hope it is enough


Have I done good enough? How can I get into open source contributions in a more meaningful way?
