What are good resources for an aspiring writer to get their start?

Hi there! I am a college-bound senior who is planning to major in English. I am hoping to have a career in creative writing, whether it be screenwriting, poetry, short stories, or more. Does anyone know of good resources for someone trying to start out in the field of writing? I have tried to find online scholarships and competitions, as well as publishing online for poetry, but I am having trouble figuring out what is legit or will actually help me in my career. #Spring26
