It's cool that you are taking the time to explore your interests.

I like how you have been applying what you have learned through these various projects.

I personally would not recommend delving too much into any one rabbit hole e.g. math for ML.

While it is nice to know, it's not a must for industry or a requirement for practical application.

Take for example sailing - even before people understand the physics of sailing e.g. buoyancy, people were still successfully sailing across continents.

If you are feeling stuck, it might be helpful to find mentors, especially those outside of your college.

They may help in providing perspective, especially on how to turn perceived failures into takeaways.

Good luck on your journey!
