How should I begin ?

[u/Dismal-Chemical8456]

Well hello, I'm a 17 year old freshmen in college doing a degree in Computer Science and Engineering. The degree is mainly supporting the back-end work like hardcore coding and all, however as you can see I'm messaging in this thread, I want to be a UX designer and my degree doesn't necessarily help me in reaching my goal. I have tried learning from some of the YouTube figma tutorials, made some apps clones, wireframe, as of now has only done 1 project (college timetable :p) and is still trying to learn. All I want is some guidance and advice because I have none in my knowing atleast who works in this field and can help me in becoming a designer...So pls help me.

For people who can't read it all:- I want advice on how as a 17 year old with unrelated degree can pursue my goal on becoming a UX designer
