Resume Advice

Hello everyone! I'm looking for resume advice.

I'm a college sophomore, and in June I start my computer science program.

I realize I'm not competitive for an internship, but I'd like to just apply a bunch anyway with the mindset of "I won't know unless I try" (especially since I see a lot of internships that require only basic programming experience). Also please note that for my last two listed projects I know I haven't included the hyperlinks on them yet.

I would like advice on things like: what should I have included but didn't, what should I not include that I did, wording, formatting, etc. The main point of this post is for me to get some resume practice for the future.

In addition, for people with a background in software engineering I have the following question: I don't start my computer science program until June, but I still have a good bit of programming experience. A lot of my personal projects are related to video games and graphics. While the Unity games on my resume aren't really related to general software engineering I decided to include them because it still shows that I published, updated, and maintained something which I think is important and related to software engineering. Do you feel like my listed projects are relavant to a software engineering internship?

Thanks for your help everyone! :)

Is licensing important for a personal repo?

Hello everyone!

I just completed a project that I'm creating a public GitHub repository for. This project is not going to make me any money. It is simply a personal project that I intend to put on my resume for potential employers to see. I am using certain libraries and images in my project, and I never checked any of the licenses. In fact, I even deleted some of the licenses from the repository to make my file structure look cleaner. I feel like this doesn't matter since it's just a personal project, although I'm making it public so I'm not sure.

Do I need to worry about licensing in my case?
