I'm also studying CS in the university, and that thing (learning C/C++ Java PHP ...) is pretty common at least where I live, Mexico, I'm in my last semester but already have a Software Engineer job in an e-commerce company, that because I spent plenty of my free time during university coding stuff, and doing subject projects in languages that they did not teach us there, so an advice to you should be: Learn, don't be a "normal guy". I would tell you to not learn JavaScript if you are not going to work in a web environment, but increasing your knowledge is always helpful in some way, I actually started learning JavaScript because I saw a framework for electronics and as that's my hobby I started loving it from there, then I made some research, looking for experienced JS developers, trending technologies in JS, and anything that came to my mind.

So if you have free time nothing better than spending it learning something new, or improving your current knowledge, believe me, doing that helped me to exit a stressful situation in my life, and now that I'll graduate, having a job with a good salary being recent grad is a really good achievement, best of luck man!
