Want to learn programming

hey prog

I am thinking about a software bachelor next year, but want to learn some fundamental programming before I start.
What made you start programming? Where or how did you learn to do so?

I know the internet is packed with great tutorials, but I am no good at following them. It doesn't make much sense for me to just read and learn about syntax, I rather want to learn through a real project, something like Udacity do.
Do you know anything like this that's good?

I have a few ideas in mind, but I don't really know where to start. What was your first project and how long you used on it (including learning the language)?
Thinking about some python/bash to make simple scripts myself.

You don't have to figure them out the first time you hear about them. That would be stupid. You just heard about them and you don't know what they are!

You do have to understand them before you move onto other languages after C, which is something you must do if you want to be a good programmer. Even if you hate all other languages and go back to C for the rest of your life, the important part is the perspective you gain from other definitions of ``programming''.
