The one thing I consistently see CS programs omit which drives me nuts with new hires. Zero knowledge of version control. Do yourself a favor and learn git now so you don't suffer later. It will help you all throughout your college classes too. TBH I'm not sure why this is such a glaring omission in CS degrees, I guess they just want to teach theory, not practical application but I've seen it consistently missing from new CS grads.

This is very practical advice, and something that several people, in this thread and elsewhere, have told me. I'm made a note of this and will consider it a priority skill. Thanks for taking the time to share this, @engineerDave.
