Typically after I start learning a new programming language, I will create a program in the language that helps me get better with it. I will often create a random maze generator or a Turing machine simulator, or a simplistic game like a word search generator. You need to find a fun project that isn't super complex that will help build some experience in the language. It doesn't need to be practical, but if you have a practical application or website that's great too.
I often find it is more valuable to stick with a small set of languages and get really good at those.

HTML and CSS are use for Web Pages. Write yourself a web page.
You should also learn Java Script as it is used to Enhance HTML/CSS for dynamic web pages.
OH! by the Way - HTML and CSS are NOT Programming Languages. They are a Mark Up Language.

School is for helping you decide if you like a subject and have the aptitude for it. You learn the basics of programming.
When you learn to drive, do you ever wonder, "Well, they taught me how to drive around my city, but what if I have to drive from Chicago to St. Louis?"
You don't have to practice programming. When you get a job, they will tell you what your program needs to do and it's up to you to figure it out. School can't prepare you for every possible programming job.
