Stuck Between Studies and Career

Honestly, I’m really messed up right now. I don’t know what to do with my life. I started learning coding, but it’s not going well. I’m struggling to understand the logic behind the code. At first, I told myself it’s okay, I’ll get it eventually — but now it’s starting to feel too time-consuming and frustrating.

I’m currently a third-year BCA student, and most of my classmates have already done several projects, internships, and are doing really well in their lives. I, on the other hand, haven’t done a single internship yet. My first interview also went very badly — they rejected my resume right away.

Now I’m under a lot of pressure. I keep wondering what I should focus on — should I prepare for my semester exams (which are coming soon), or should I work on improving my resume by adding some projects? I feel like I’m running very late compared to everyone else.

I’m trying to learn Java programming and also trying to understand JavaScript, but everything feels too overwhelming right now. I don’t know whether I should concentrate on my studies, prepare my resume, or start focusing on getting a job. I just feel very lost and irritated these days.
