How to take full advantage of the summer before a CS major?

Hello world, So I came across this question asked before but it was by people with fairly extensive coding experience entering as freshmen. I was a terrible student at my HS (early college) before enlisting. I had a horrid GPA and talked myself out of even applying for colleges until now (5 years later). I currently have 66 credits but I'm not sure how many will actually transfer (NC vs. SC)

Shockingly enough I got accepted into an ABET accredited CS program at Coastal Carolina University for Fall. My question is, how should I spend my summer (aside from saving money at my current job) to best prepare? I've worked through the very basics of Swift in Treehouse but otherwise I have no coding experience.

I've read a few suggestions, FCC, Google's Summer of Code, Treehouse, and CS50, but what would you recommend? I think it would really benefit me to get a small jumpstart and begin falling into the right mindset. I also really want to apply for the school sponsored internships after my first year which requires submitting a competitive resume to the department chair.

Thanks everybody-
Also, I realize I'm going to have more than enough work once it starts and one option would be to just relax, but I feel like I could really benefit by going ahead and building a strong study regimen and routine before starting. That's definitely been my biggest hinderance in the past.

Relax.

They'll teach you everything you need to know and pass the exams, so studying something specific now might be a waste of time in terms of passing an exam as it might not be relevant. And you'll only be able to do this for the first year, which is often much easier compared to the second and third.

So if you do want to get ahead of the curve slightly, then your options are to read something general and foundational, like Code by Charles Petzold, or go on their website and see if you can read the exact course material you'll be doing next year.
